With the Audit and Corporate Finance specialisation, during two semesters, prepare yourself for a position of operational responsibility in the audit, management control, banking and finance sectors.

Develop your financial culture in line with the expectations of companies in the fields of internal or external auditing, public accounting, consulting in international and national firms, management control and financial management (budget management, management control, etc.).

This final year specialisation of the Master in Management is accessible both in the classical route and as a work-study programme (under specific conditions for international students).

 

The M2 Audit and Corporate Finance allows you to acquire quality education, with the key to rapid professional integration in dynamic sectors offering attractive salaries (audit and/or consultancy firms, corporate finance departments). This M2 specialisation also allows you to acquire 3 equivalences with the DSCG diploma and thus potentially become a chartered accountant. It can be carried out in work-study or in a classic format with a 6-month internship and can thus be adapted to your pace and your project. The professors (permanent professors or finance professionals) are passionate and will transmit their enthusiasm to you.
