PROGRAMME
Few other establishments of higher education can boast their own internationally acclaimed research centre, and even fewer can say that the experts involved in this research are full time professors of the same school. These specialists are called upon by investors and financial institutions to impart their insight from the City of London to the Private Banks in Switzerland and these same professors share their knowledge in the classroom.
EDHEC's Master of Science in Risk and Asset Management is indeed a programme that is difficult to match.
