A Gateway to Careers in Finance, Banking, and Audit
The Financia Business School Bachelor’s program offers a unique opportunity for students holding a two-year higher education qualification (Bac+2) who wish to redirect their studies toward careers in finance, banking, or audit. Accessible directly in the second year, the program enables students to quickly acquire the essential foundations needed to succeed in higher education and move toward careers in the financial sector.
The specialized banking and finance modules revisit the key fundamentals, ensuring that every student—regardless of their previous academic background or type of high school diploma—can follow the program under the best possible conditions while progressively building a strong financial culture.
The curriculum also includes cross-disciplinary courses such as English, economics, French, and mathematics, designed to consolidate prior knowledge and strengthen the core skills required before entering a more advanced and professionally oriented phase of the program.
In the second year, students have the opportunity to pursue the program through a work-study format, a key experience that allows them to confront the realities of the job market. This pedagogical approach promotes the development of practical skills by combining academic learning with professional immersion in a company, effectively preparing students for their future careers in finance.
