Introduction

The Master “Financial Market and Risk Evaluation” (FiRE) offers theoretical and practical insights on financial markets.

Theoretical insights are all the more needed after the great financial crisis of 2008 that has shown that blind applications of valuation and risk management models could prove unproductive. These theoretical insights are acquired by students with the instruction offered by world-class academics who have contributed to building them. 

Practical insights are also offered to ensure that students are accustomed to the functioning and vocabulary of financial markets, the strategies of investors and the pricing of financial assets, with a particular emphasis on risk measurement and evaluation.

Objectives

Students pursuing the Financial Markets and Risk Evaluation track will also learn to:

  • Use modelling and computational tools to price financial assets ;
  • Understand the functioning of financial markets ;
  • Identify and manage operational and financial risks.
This Master is a programme in partnership with Toulouse School of Management (TSM) and Toulouse School of Economics (TSE).
