Master Finance — Corporate Finance

Tuition comes to 250 EUR per year.

Université de Bordeaux, based in Bordeaux- Bastide, France, offers this master's program in Finance with a specialization in Corporate Finance. The discipline covers how companies manage their financial resources: capital structure decisions, investment appraisal, valuation methods, mergers and acquisitions, working capital management, and the interaction between a firm's financing choices and financial markets. Students typically build on foundations in accounting, financial mathematics, and economics, then apply these tools to corporate decision-making, financial modeling, and risk management within a business context. Career paths connected to corporate finance commonly include roles as financial analysts, corporate treasury staff, investment banking associates, financial controllers, and consultants advising companies on financing and investment decisions. Some graduates move into private equity or asset management, while others pursue further certification in financial analysis or accounting. This is a master's degree spanning two years of study, taught in French, with the academic year starting in September. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR, in line with the standard rate charged for public master's programs in France. Since finance coursework at this level relies on technical vocabulary covering accounting, valuation, and financial markets, international applicants should have a solid command of French before enrolling, as lectures, case studies, and assessments throughout the Bordeaux-based program are conducted in that language rather than English.
