Presentation
of the training
The general aim of the Bachelor 3 in Management, Banking and Finance is to provide students with a solid grounding in law, finance, economics, accounting and quantitative techniques, in order to prepare them effectively for entry to a Master's degree in Finance. More specifically, the course aims to introduce students to banking and financial techniques, while helping them to build a career plan consistent with the banking, finance and insurance professions.
Organisation
This Bachelor 3 is accessible after a common core of two years of undergraduate studies at IAE Lille (Bachelor 1 and Bachelor 2), this course is also open to candidates with a Bac 2 diploma in management (second year of a Licence, BUT, or equivalent), subject to admission. This progressive specialisation combines theoretical teaching and practical applications, and prepares students for a successful career as employees, managers or experts in banking and finance, while opening the way for further study at Master’s level.
Combined with a Master’s degree in Finance, it is a benchmark course for access not only to the professions of bank client officer and wealth manager, but also to those of financial analyst (thanks to the international Chartered Financial Analyst – CFA® certification, the course benefits from the University Recognition Program label) or corporate treasurer.
The programme for this third year focuses on acquiring key skills in banking and finance, while incorporating lessons in law and languages to broaden students’ field of expertise.
The courses take place at the Moulins site, in a setting that is conducive to work, cohesion and success.
An internship of at least two months in a bank branch or company enhances the programme, providing students with valuable hands-on experience and an initial insight into the professional world.
Teaching is delivered by both academic staff specialising in their respective fields and professionals from the banking and finance sectors, ensuring a learning experience that combines academic research with real-world industry practice.
With cohorts of approximately 40 students, the programme fosters close interaction, meaningful exchanges and personalised support.
This programme is also available on a work-study basis. Teaching is organised into competency-based modules.
