The value of this stimulating course can be further enhanced by choosing the Dual
Master in Finance and Investments programme. A Master di Primo Livello degree
focuses on the practical methodologies of the field, while a Master of Science will
provide academic evidence of your understanding of the theories, philosophies, and
technicalities involved in high-level finance and investment decision making.
The programme syllabus and learning outcomes remain the same as the Master in
Finance and Investments but you will graduate with an additional MSc qualification from
another educational institute, Geneva Business School.

The flexibility of the course meant that I
could study in my free time and when I had
motivation to do so. I had great interaction
with both my tutors and fellow students
on the online learning platform, where we
could discuss the course materials. Being
self-disciplined to study is really important
to do well, and helped me get the most out
of the learning experience.
