A 3-year Bachelor program preparing students for entry into a specialized Bachelor in the third year and leading to a Level 6 RNCP certification.

Program overview

The ambition of our Bachelor program, accessible directly after obtaining the French Baccalauréat, is to enable students interested in the banking and finance sector to effectively prepare for entry into higher education.

Its banking and finance-focused modules cover the fundamental concepts, ensuring that every new student can successfully follow the program regardless of their academic background or type of Baccalauréat obtained.

The Financia Bachelor also includes courses in English, economics, French, and mathematics, among others, in order to strengthen the foundations acquired during high school before progressing to a more intensive phase of learning.

In addition, the second year of the Bachelor program can be followed either as a full-time academic program or as a work-study program, allowing each student to better understand the expectations of the job market and to diversify their learning through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
