Aix-Marseille Université offers the Master Finance in Aix-En-Provence, France, a two-year graduate program in the study of financial markets, corporate finance, and investment. Finance as a discipline covers how individuals, companies, and institutions raise, allocate, and manage capital. Students typically study corporate finance topics such as valuation, capital budgeting, and mergers and acquisitions, alongside market finance subjects including asset pricing, portfolio management, derivatives, and risk management. Coursework often includes financial accounting, econometrics applied to financial data, and the regulatory environment governing banks and financial markets. Many programs also cover corporate financial strategy, private equity, and increasingly, sustainable and responsible finance, reflecting the growing role of environmental and social criteria in investment decisions. Quantitative methods, including statistics and financial modeling in spreadsheet or programming tools, are usually a significant part of the training, since much of finance work involves analyzing data to support investment or financing decisions. Graduates of finance master's programs typically pursue careers in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance departments, private equity, financial consulting, or risk management, working for banks, investment funds, corporations, or advisory firms. Some specialize further in areas such as trading, financial engineering, or wealth management. Instruction for this program is delivered in French. The degree is structured over two years, with a start expected in September in line with the standard academic calendar for French universities. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR, consistent with the public tuition rates charged for master's degrees in France.

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.
