The Magistère BFA (3 year banking, finance and insurance postgraduate qualification) was established in 1986 in order to offer a high-quality university programme in close co-ordination with professional organisations. Students expect to take up a career in finance, banking or insurance professions. The three year course aims to train high-level practitioners, capable of adapting successfully to the rapid changes of contemporary finance. The course alternates between academic classes, applied work and placements. The Magistère is a concentrated and very thorough programme. The courses focus on fundamental economic mechanisms, financial analysis, and new finance and insurance techniques, and utilise recent information and communication techniques.
