The Master of Science in European Studies in Investor Relations and Financial Communication is
offered jointly by Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano (Faculty
of Communication, Culture and Society) and by Università Cattolica del
Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy (Faculty of Banking and Finance and Faculty
of Languages). The first year of the programme takes place in Milan,
while the second year is hosted in Lugano. The programme awards 120 ECTS
over 4 semesters and it is entirely offered in English.
The
Master programme in Investor Relations and Financial Communication
offers students the unique opportunity to acquire an integrated set of
competencies, including financial, communicative, legal and language
knowledge, which is strongly and increasingly required in the financial
sector. The financial sector is facing new challenges: people working in
such an environment are expected to master, besides a solid financial
background, also strong capacities in communicating with clients and
investors and a mature awareness of the legal framework in which
financial services and products are promoted and transactions are
negotiated.
The aim of the Master is to form specialists
operating in the banking sector and in capital markets being able to
bridge the information and knowledge gaps between financial experts and
lay investors and entrepreneurs. Moreover, such specialists will be
asked to manage strategically the huge quantity of information so that
it can be put "at work" to foster sound investment decisions.
