Program description

Globalization accompanying the development of modern society and competition between companies create the demand for specialists capable of managing financial business in new conditions. These conditions include not only increased competition, but also the emergence of new opportunities for creating and developing startup projects, circulating new financial instruments that can ensure risk minimization in different companies, and attracting additional financial resources.

The priority of the program “Financial Management" is to train specialists who possess modern decision-making tools based on financial information, which they can apply in a real business environment, as well as prepare students for interviews and testing in well-known international and Russian companies. The disciplines offered take into account the requirements for the competencies of financial specialists from the international qualification programs such as ACCA, CIMA, CFA, and CMA. Also, our students can join in a double-degree program implemented jointly with International Business School, one of the partners of the Faculty “Higher School of Management".

This program provides not only knowledge in the field of finance, but also in the field of management. Students develop the ability to make decisions in conditions of uncertainty, improve business efficiency, and lead enterprises out of the financial crisis. Our graduates are both a finance specialist and a competent manager.

Our graduates are employed by financial departments of commercial organizations, banks, investment and insurance companies, state, and municipal enterprises. Internships in the Big Four companies (PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG) are a good starting point for your career in this field.
