Master parcours Contrôle des risques bancaires et conformité (FA-CP)

Créé en 2009, le master vise à former aux métiers de la conformité et du contrôle des risques dans le secteur bancaire et financier.

Au carrefour de la déontologie et du contrôle interne, la fonction de conformité (compliance en anglais) est devenue cruciale au sein des banques. Elle se développe également dans les domaines de l’assurance et de la gestion d’actif.

Le resserrement des réglementations à la suite de la crise financière de 2007-2008 a renforcé les besoins des établissements en matière de contrôle des risques permanents et opérationnels, de veille réglementaire, de lutte contre la fraude et anti-blanchiment (LAB), etc. Les développements technologiques et les enjeux écologiques continuent de faire évoluer ces fonctions.

Conçu sur le mode de l’alternance, ce master allie une expérience professionnelle d’un an en contrat d’apprentissage dans le domaine de la conformité et du contrôle interne (3 jours par semaine dans un établissement bancaire, d’assurance ou financier), une formation universitaire académique (1 jour par semaine à la Maison des Sciences Économiques) et des modules d’enseignements professionnels (1 jour par semaine à l’École Supérieure de la banque – ESbanque).

Master parcours Finance technology data

Master 2 "Finance Technology Data" (FTD) is designed at the interface between finance and data science. It aims to equip professionals with a deep understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technologies driving the current wave of financial innovation. The FTD program addresses key questions such as:

• Will future financial systems be decentralized or controlled by Big Tech?
• Will Big Data and machine learning improve risk management or reinforce financial discrimination?
• Will Fintech players disrupt traditional banking or face significant barriers to entry?

Addressing these questions requires technical and research skills that are placed at the heart of this program. Students will develop and apply these skills through practical projects and the completion of a Master’s Thesis.

The teaching staff includes a diverse group of academic researchers and industry experts. This includes data scientists, quantitative analysts, blockchain professionals, financial economists, regulators and Fintech experts. Students benefit from interactions with founders and CEOs, insights into Fintech start-ups, and participation in professional competitions through the FTD program’s extensive network of partners.

The FTD program is delivered in English and follows a work-study format, enabling students to acquire professional experience through apprenticeships. Opportunities include roles in in banks, insurance firms, stock exchanges, consulting companies, Fintech start-ups, and central banks.

Class of 2025/2026

Master parcours Financial economics

The  "parcours M2 Recherche Financial Economics"  was created in 1976 (DEA then research master Monnaie Banque Finance). It switched to an international program fully in English language in 2016. The "M2 Financial Economics" trains future researchers and high profile executives in the fields of Central Banking, Banking and Finance. It is a unique training by cutting edge applied econometrics research which leads to expertise in a well-balanced mix of three skills: Monetary Economics, Finance and Data Science. This mix constrasts with alternative diplomas only concentrating on each of these specific skills.

It is the only M2 "parcours" of the 37 French masters mention "Monnaie Banque Finance Assurance" (among which 9 in Paris region) on the platform "MonMaster" which has a record of 4 students per year (40 students over 10 years) having a PhD grant after the master. For students or professionals with a few years of experience considering the option of doing a PhD in the field of money, banking and finance, this is the place to be in France. This is the reason why ESCP business school proposed to be a partner of the master Financial Economics.

The training in applied data science includes at least five applied projects done by groups of two students (credit scoring, asset pricing, macro and firm level panel data, multivariate financial time series, evaluation of monetary and fiscal stabilization policy) using any of these four softwares: Stata, SAS, Python or R. From 1st of September until 15th of May, each student is supervised for his Research Master Thesis using applied econometrics.

An optional training period (with "convention de stage") lasts at most six months, according French regulation, between 15th of May and 30th of December.  Some students with previous work experience or gap year training periods found a job earlier, without this training period. 

Since the academic year 2022-2023, a joint agreement with ESCP Business School and University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne under the umbrella of Sorbonne Alliance leads to a new course "Topics in Finance" taught by several professors of ESCP Business School. This adds the possibility to students to candidate to PhD  grants at ESCP Business School in the doctoral school of management of Paris 1 and ESCP. PhD (doctorat) students at ESCP Business School are also registered in the Doctoral School of Management of University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. In 3 years, 4 students obtained a PhD grant from ESCP.

 The M2 Financial Economics successfully prepares students willing to do a PhD to competitive exams for obtaining PhD grants (contrats doctoraux) in French or Foreign Universities starting in June. Over the last 10 years, 40 students (an average of 4 per year) engaged into a  PhD funded by a PhD grant: 20 (50%) in Paris 1 University (Doctoral School of Economics) including three Cifre grants at BPCE and Banque de France and 20 others in the following universities: Washington University, King's college London, Maastricht, Louvain-la-Neuve, Namur, Lille, Dauphine, Clermont-Auvergne, three in Orléans, two in Evry-Saclay, Aix-Marseille (2 including one Cifre grant with ACPR) and four at ESCP Business School including one Cifre grant at BNPP.

The three pillars of this training by research (Monetary economics, Finance, Econometrics) allows former students to have access to a super-large spectrum of jobs in Central Banks, International Financial Institutions, Banks and Insurance Companies in France or abroad. Please read a very precise list of jobs in the section "Insertion Professionnelle" at the very bottom of this presentation. These jobs are taken from the alumnis' linkedin group:
