Presentation
- Master's degree in banking and finance
Teaching staff: Adrien Tehrani - Stéphane Benilsi
The Master's degree in Banking and Financial Law is organized over two years, with four semesters.
Objectives
The objective of the Master's program is to train lawyers who combine a mastery of the fundamentals of French, European and international business law with an in-depth knowledge of the rules applicable to the banking and financial sectors, in order to facilitate their professional integration, it being specified that the program offers numerous career opportunities.
Know-how and skills
In addition to a classical training in private law and more particularly in business law, the student specializes in banking and financial law.
On this point, at the end of the Master 2, he will have an in-depth knowledge of the organization of the banking profession and the financial law professions, of the functioning of national and European supervisory authorities, and of the regulations applicable to the many activities that can be carried out in this sector, by lawyers in banks or other companies as well as by lawyers (retail banking, investment banking, asset management, operations of listed companies, project financing, banking and financial regulation...)
The program also includes several hours of instruction in English, in order to perfect comprehension and expression in both banking and financial law, as the work environment often has a marked international dimension. Thus, English courses (20 hours) as well as law courses in English (more than 40 hours) are given, which is an asset for accessing jobs offered in France and abroad.
The student is also introduced to accounting by a certified public accountant, which helps him or her to better understand the issues of corporate finance and financial reporting.
Finally, they develop their legal research skills and increase their professional experience, since in the second year of the Master's program they are required to write a thesis and complete an internship or work-study program.
