In the field
Laurent Ly
Graduate degree (DESS) in International Management, Université de la Sorbonne
Specialized Master in Finance - 2004
Analyst Fusions Acquisitions, Lehman Brothers, London
“After completing my graduate (DESS) degree at the Sorbonne, I wanted to obtain a more advanced degree in Finance. At the time, my aim was to consolidate my previous studies and expand my knowledge of both corporate finance and financial markets.
The Specialized Master in Finance fit the bill perfectly since it combines these two areas. Ultimately, I think I learned more in this one year than in my six years of previous university education combined. The coursework was thorough and covered all aspects of finance to give me a better idea of career options in banking and other areas in finance. In addition, the high quality of the theoretical instruction, in parallel with case studies, prepared us to be fully operational for our internships at the end of the year. This Specialized Master in Finance was clearly a real catalyst for my career.”
