We are delighted that you are considering applying for our Master of Science in Finance. We are looking for talented applicants who are enthusiastic about research and genuinely intellectually curious. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to take a closer look at our programme, and we look forward to receiving your application.

The Master of Science is the first year of Toulouse School of Management doctoral programme in Management. This intensive programme creatively combines the best of theory, practice and reality-based education: graduates pursue careers in leading universities and business schools, policy-oriented institutions and private firms. We deliberately keep the doctoral programme small to allow you to work closely with your supervisor and develop interaction with all faculty members.

Students who successfully complete the first year of the programme are awarded a Master of Science and may choose to end their formal training. The goal of this one-year programme is to provide students with the quantitative, analytical and theoretical tools for a successful academic or industry-oriented career.

The course list can be split in two parts
  • intensive core courses in general management
  • in-depth courses for the chosen specialization area
The core courses bridge theory with adequate tools to understand and handle challenging real-world management issues, and unleash students’ potential, confidence and skills to develop groundbreaking ideas.

These courses are offered on-site only; no distance learning option is available.

Courses are taught only in English.
