Student Testimonial
“
I decided to study at IÉSEG School of Management because I attended the summer academy at the Paris Campus in 2012. This was a unique and international experience and for me there was no doubt I would return to IÉSEG to pursue my postgraduate studies. The MSc in Investment Banking & Capital Markets appealed to me as I wanted to enhance my academic portfolio and deepen my knowledge of finance, specializing either in Private Wealth Management, Investment Banking or Mergers and Acquisitions. My impression of the educational level of the program is very positive. I am thrilled to have the chance to earn an excellent academic education and be part of the IÉSEG family once again.
