ECOMFIN Track

Aims: it is an “ADD-ON”, complementary to other tracks

The track aims at providing an ADD-ON across 3 dimensions:

  1. Skills complementary: courses linking theory and practice (with case studies and guest speakers) are complementary to other finance tracks and ESSEC chairs.

  2. Time compatibility: the limited number of core courses in the track facilitates the integration of the corresponding workload in time schedule.

  3. Expertise enhancement: the highly visible status of expertise in energy & commodity markets enhances opportunity to stand out in a fast growing domain of skills.
