Master in Finance
EAE Business School Barcelona enables you to specialize in finance and applied technology so that you can rise to the biggest challenge in the sector: the effective and innovative financial management of global digital companies.
Such a huge challenge involves acquiring fundamental knowledge at different levels of the business, from the most operational aspects right up to the purest management level, including a command of the essential disruptive technologies for driving forward the Fintech areas in companies.
The program focuses on financial analysis, financing decisions, financial difficulties and the restructuring process, and the Fintech ecosystem (Wealth Tech, Insurtech, Blockchain, etc.), as well as new forms of investment and alternative financing, new payment methods and cryptocurrencies.
Moreover, the Master in Finance & Fintech is designed to develop your analytical and critical capacity to make strategic decisions, not only to survive as a company but to thrive in this changing and complex Fintech ecosystem.
Complete your EAE finance experience with a real Fintech Challenge released by ID Finance, an important fintech company collaborating with the programme.
The challenge will be exposed into the ID Finance offices in Barcelona, where students will have a guided visit in order to know the working reality of a real fintech company.
To perform the project, you will have a tutorial follow up before the final presentations.
