Programme
Master in Management – specialisation in Corporate Finance
ESSCA’s Master in Management is a 2-year postgraduate programme that equips students with all the necessary skills to be a well-rounded manager. The Finance specialisation focuses on risk assessment, auditing, compliance, private equity or financial modelling, key managerial aspects for a successful career as a professional in the field. Fully taught in English at ESSCA in Luxembourg, the Master in Management in Finance combines a taught programme and practical experience, including a 6-month paid internship during the second year of the programme.
Luxembourg Summer Programme
Our Luxembourg Summer Programme provides students with the opportunity to delve into the latest trends in finance at the heart of Europe’s financial hub. Uncover the transformative potential of blockchain and decentralised finance (DeFi) and gain a comprehensive understanding of ESG topics. This is all complemented by visits to financial institutions and corporate headquarters, offering a real-world perspective on the theories learned.
Student life in Luxembourg
Luxembourg is a cosmopolitan and multilingual city where French, German, Luxembourgish, and above all English are spoken fluently.
With a rapidly growing population (in 10 years, the total population of Luxembourg has increased by 25.7%, 15 times the European average of 1.7%) and a significant demand for recruitment, the Grand Duchy represents a real opportunity for business school graduates.
With free public transport, a very high level of security, recognised political stability (AAA), a dynamic financial centre (1st in Europe and 2nd in the world for fund management), Luxembourg has a lot to offer.
I found my first position at Edmond de Rothschild through an ESSCA alumni. The day-to-day job of a portfolio manager requires more than academic knowledge, but also the ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment, to design innovative investment strategies and to maintain a high level of professional ethics. All these elements are rooted in ESSCA's core values and I had the opportunity to develop them through practical learning, associative activities and international experiences.
