The Master in « Financial Markets and Risk Evaluation » (FiRE) is a full time programme entirely taught in English. Theoretical insights are all the more needed as many episodes such as the great financial crisis of 2008 or the run on Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 regularly show that blind applications of valuation and risk management models could prove unproductive. These theoretical insights are acquired by students with the instruction offered by world-class academics who have contributed to build them. Practical insights are also offered to ensure that students are accustomed to the functioning and vocabulary of financial markets, the strategies of investors and the pricing of financial assets, with a particular emphasis on risk measurement and evaluation.

Student testimonials
TSM was an opportunity for me to go on a study trip and get a Double Degree, an additional experience that could make a difference in my future career. I chose TSM because I wanted to follow a course based on trading and financial markets, which TSM offered.
While doing my research on the available Master’s programmes, I stumbled upon the M2 FiRE track. Compared to all the other choices, TSM seemed to be offering the highest quality education for the cheapest price. TSM also seemed to be the most internationally friendly school.
