IE Business School’s Masters in Finance portfolio is unique in the market, offering a total of 200 courses in fields that include non-banking finance, Islamic finance, and micro finance. The programs use an eminently practical approach, including education tools like investment competitions; simulations of portfolio management in real time using the Bloomberg platform; Zoologic, to learn how to use investment banking applications; or MatLab, software for programming fixed revenues.
