Presentation
This program trains banking finance professionals and researchers in this field.
He offers modern programming practices combined with statistical methods applied to large financial databases, with the ultimate goal of managing banking risks.
This course constantly takes into account developments in the banking sector, particularly changes in the field of banking risk analysis. In recent years, banking professions have undergone profound changes. These changes in banking professions and the globalization of operations have given rise to new risks. International operations now account for a growing share of credit institutions' on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet activities, while market interventions are becoming more diverse and complex. These developments have given rise to new types of risk and altered the factors of financial fragility that can affect the quality of the situation of banking players. As a corollary, banking supervisory authorities have imposed prudential rules to prevent banks from failing. These rules are part of preventive action programs aimed at promoting the stability of domestic banking systems.
This new training program enables participants to integrate the regulatory constraints of Basel III into the measurement of banking risks such as liquidity risk, asset and liability management (ALM), etc.
The aim is to equip students with three types of skills: expertise in quantitative methods (econometrics, analysis of large databases, etc.), risk analysis (particularly banking risk) and banking regulation, and proficiency in IT tools (SAS, R, VBA, Python, etc.). The quantitative courses in this master's program are held in the MUSE Trading Room.
These skills provide students with powerful tools for measuring the risks faced by financial institutions, enabling them to join risk control departments.
Strong ties have been established over many years with regional and national professionals, such as the Regional Director of the Ecole Supérieure and the Regional Delegate of the French Banking Federation. Many professionals contribute to the Master's 2 program, either through lectures or through the EU's professionalization conferences. These professionals share their professional experiences and explain the careers that are open to students upon completion of the Master's program. Internships are often obtained as a result of these presentations.
Conferences on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (Python programming), etc. are organized by Data Scientist specialists.
Students thus benefit from excellent professional training based on solid theoretical knowledge and professional application by recognized experts in the field through supervised projects or professional conferences . This enables the vast majority of graduates to find employment within six months of completing their Master's degree. The employment rate is over 77%.
The advantages of the training program
This specialized program in Banking Risk Analysis is one of the few in the Occitanie region to offer this type of training as part of an initial education program. It therefore provides students in our region with the opportunity to pursue a career in risk analysis. This program develops students' quantitative skills (econometrics, numerical methods, etc.) and computer programming skills (artificial intelligence algorithms, etc.), enabling them to stand out nationally from students in other banking master's programs.
Objectives
The objective of this program is to equip students with three types of skills: expertise in quantitative methods (econometrics, analysis of large databases, etc.), risk analysis (particularly banking risk and banking regulations), and proficiency in IT tools (SAS, R, VBA, Python, etc.).
- Provide students with the skills necessary to work as risk analysts (analyzing different types of risk: credit risk analyst, operational risk analyst, compliance risk analyst, liquidity risk analyst, asset and liability management (ALM), risk manager within banking institutions, etc.). ) to be able to propose personalized solutions in the field of risk management (assessment of complex product risks, construction of structured products or complex portfolios, etc.).
- Provide students with the skills necessary to conduct research within public organizations and to understand regulations and financial and banking operations, to detect, assess, and model risks, and to evaluate financial and banking products.
- Master financial modeling tools and banking econometrics, which will enable you to apply for positions as a financial risk analyst and in back-office functions.
-Acquire technical training based on handling large financial databases at multiple frequencies, combined with the most powerful computer software
-Acquire sufficient knowledge to apply for doctoral contracts and/or enroll in a doctoral program.
- Possess computer skills and know how to model and use computer tools, software, or software packages commonly used in the markets (SAS, VBA, etc.).
- Master financial modeling tools and banking econometrics, which will enable you to apply for jobs as a market operator, portfolio manager, financial risk analyst, or in back-office functions.
- The ARB training program implementstools to help students succeed. The program benefits from the involvement of a professional who helps students prepare for their internship and job search. The following actions are implemented: CV and cover letter writing, preparation for the internship search and job interviews. Job search support workshops (CV, cover letter, etc.) and job interview preparation sessions (recruitment process, types of interviews, etc.). In addition, mock interviews with a recruiter (professional) and a master's degree teacher are scheduled.
