Market Risk Analysis

The Master's programs at the Faculty of Economics are structured over two years and four semesters, based on an assessment system designed to measure students' learning progressively and comprehensively. At the end of each semester, the skills, competencies, and knowledge acquired in each teaching unit (UE) are assessed in one of two ways: continuous assessment or a final exam.

Continuous assessment allows for regular monitoring of student progress through several forms of evaluation: supervised assignments, graded tutorials, presentations, projects, document analysis, and active participation in class. This method encourages attendance, regular work, and the gradual acquisition of skills.

The final exam consists of a written or oral test held at the end of the semester. It aims to assess students' overall mastery of the concepts taught and their ability to apply their knowledge in a structured and in-depth manner. Depending on the course units, teaching methods, or learning objectives, some units may combine both methods. These methods ensure fair, diverse assessment that is tailored to the nature of the course.

Students with disabilities, young entrepreneurs, and high-level athletes can benefit from personalized support.

This may take the form of study arrangements, educational adaptations, or specific rights, in order to enable them to best balance their personal or professional constraints with their university education. Depending on the situation, these measures may include an adapted schedule, adjusted assessment methods, attendance facilities, individualized monitoring, or dedicated support services.

A true immersion in the professional world, it allows students to apply the knowledge they have acquired in class, discover how organizations work, and compare theory with practice. To get the most out of it, serious preparation is essential: learning about the host organization, defining your objectives, mobilizing your skills, and preparing for professional demands.

All Master's programs offer the possibility of doing an internship.

In Master 1, internships are possible and optional. They must be related to the program.

The internship may begin at the end of the second semester exams or be completed during university vacation periods. In all cases, it must end no later than August 31, regardless of whether the student is enrolled in a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, or University Diploma program.

In Master 2, the internship is mandatory.

The start date is set in agreement with the academic supervisor, generally between February and March, in order to fit in with the training schedule and the requirements of the final thesis. Regardless of the period chosen, the internship mustend no later than September 30.
