The Financial Engineering major develops all the skills needed to understand and master the complexity of financial markets.
The ESILV course in financial engineering takes into account major trends in banking, asset management and hedge funds, such as high frequency trading, combined use of machine learning and the mathematics of randomness, and developments in risk management, which new financial directives have rendered increasingly complex.
Students can use a real trading room equipped with fifteen Bloomberg terminals, the main financial tool used in trading rooms and most management companies and large businesses. Students can also give their CVs a real boost by obtaining Bloomberg certification and taking the Bloomberg Aptitude Test.
