Specialization "Financial Engineering and Management"

of the master 'Industrial Engineering and Management'


Over the past decade, the increasing complexity of financial products, the size of the markets, and the ever increasing variety in the products traded have generated a growing demand for skilled professionals to create, price and hedge complex derivatives and, more generally, to manage risk. Acquiring such skills requires mastering both mathematical and managerial knowledge. To meet this demand, we offer a Master's specialization in financial engineering and risk management.

Students are trained to identify and quantify risk. Moreover, they should be able to determine the extent to which risk should be dealt with using financial engineering instruments or other types of solutions, such as reengineering business processes, adapting the firm's strategy, switching customers/suppliers or taking different investment decisions. Students will also benefit from comprehensive management training, learning to apply strategic skills to manage the firm's innovation and technology.
