The Msc 268 Investment Banking and Financial Markets was born out of major interest from academic worlds and the financial industry. Its objective is to train bankers for all the specialized fields which make up this profession, from theory to practice (through apprenticeship). The 268 training programme is based on a partnership between Paris-Dauphine University and seven major banks. This gives the master an unprecedented level of credibility in the current training offer. This Master offers a solid background in order to acquire simultaneously theoretical knowledge (Corporate Finance, Portfolio Management, Derivatives, Risk Management), general knowledge (Equity Markets, bonds, derivatives, mergers acquisitions, IPO, etc.) but also technical knowledge via apprenticeship. Finally, the Master 268 has achieved this goal of excellence through rigorous recruitment, apprenticeship training combined with pedagogy provided by professionals, covering the latest developments in financial theory.
