The Preparatory courses are intended to provide a fundamental background common to all students and undeniable to have a good knowledge of the fields required in the next specialized modules.
The preparatory courses will provide a good knowledge of probability theory and stochastic processes, either diffusive and with jumps. The students will master the main principles and tools of financial mathematics, pricing and the hedging techniques; in particular they will be able to design a process of market risk measurement and reporting, and to make market risk management decisions.
The specialization phase aims to provide a deep knowledge on the chosen track. The main understanding of the specialized field is given through the Related courses, which are compulsory and could be seen as core courses for the specialization at hand. Nevertheless, students have the chance to tailor the educational path choosing their favorite courses among the class of the elective ones.
In the Core courses students are expected to have a complete knowledge of the principles, bodies and the main regulatory provisions. Particular focus will be devoted to the international aspect of financial regulation, both about the issue of stability (Basel regulations and Financial Stability Board) and transparency (market abuse and MIFID regulations) with particular attention to the climate policies.
The Internship is always compulsory in order to stress the important role of industries in the project. The student will develop a deep knowledge of green energy solutions but keeping in mind a holistic and interdisciplinary view which is expected to be strong firm’s oriented.
The main fields of education are:
- Maths and Probability,
- Engineering competences of the energy sources,
