The Master in Advanced Finance is a 12-month program
(January to December) fully taught in English designed for
professionals with relevant work experience and who aspire to
work in the finance industry at associate level.
The main advantage of the Master in Advanced Finance is its up-to-the minute
knowledge in the most innovative areas of finance such as corporate social
investment, securization, leveraged buyouts, geopolitics, behavioral finance or
Islamic finance.
The Master in Advanced Finance will equip participants with an in-depth knowledge
of the functions of finance, along with a detailed and disciplined look at the tools,
techniques, theoretical know-how, and practical focus that makes it possible to
put these functions into practice. The program is further enhanced with additional
studies and tools that assist decision making in areas directly or indirectly affected
by the financial manager’s reactions.
Why the Master in Advanced Finance
• The most appealing syllabus designed by professionals from the capital
markets based on the needs of the financial recruiters.
• Strong Faculty with a sizeable percentage of practitioners from the finance industry.
• Access to employment in capital markets through a syllabus with strong
foundations on derivatives, mergers & acquisitions, private equity, asset
management & financial statement analysis.
• Strong 3,700 alumni network from IE’s finance programs since 1977, supported
by on-site finance oriented networking (Finance Club & Financial Community).
• An eminently practical approach:
Investment simulation: which will enable students to test their investing
skills by generating portfolios during the whole year in different asset classes,
and to study the returns and the risks.
Microfinance: emerging as a new asset class which has performed very well
in the recent turbulent times, and which provides financial tools that enable
members of underserved populations to become entrepreneurs. This course
should be pivotal for volunteers of our ongoing NGO, “financiers without borders”.
Islamic Finance: strengthened by our recent alliance with King Abdul Aziz
University in Saudi Arabia, to create a Madrid Base Center of Islamic Finance.
There are already 800bn USD invested through Sharia compliant principles.
Plus: private equity valuation project, research report project, company
valuation project, among others.

“I chose IE because of its excellent Faculty of Professors. The
value of having the CEO of a significant investment bank
teaching advanced corporate finance is more than stimulating. The ranking of IE
and its international recognition ensured me of its value in an international business
environment. Most importantly however, I will keep in touch with my classmates
because we were truly all part of one team that got really close as the program
progressed. I’m looking forward to meeting my classmates in their home countries and
look forward to welcoming them in mine.”
