Program details

Overview

This 30-credit, 10-course undergraduate certificate in market finance at HEC Montréal develops a broad understanding of financial markets and securities valuation techniques. Eight required courses (24 credits) build on two foundation courses (6 credits) in accounting and quantitative methods, covering current financial-system issues, fixed-income and equity valuation, and the basics of portfolio management and derivatives. The curriculum is structured to help students prepare for CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) examinations, and the program is affiliated with the CFA Institute's Montreal society. Depending on prior experience and education, graduates can pursue roles such as securities agent, investment advisor, portfolio manager, or financial analyst. Instruction is in French, delivered through a mix of in-person and hybrid formats, mainly in evening and weekend sessions, and can be completed full-time or part-time, though the certificate is designed primarily for part-time study.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must meet one of the following: hold a Quebec Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC); have completed 30 university-level credits in a program (minor, major, certificate, or bachelor's degree); or have four years of full-time work experience (internships excluded, counted from age 18, in any sector, including experience acquired abroad). Applicants must have an intermediate-advanced level of French, demonstrated through their educational background or a recognized French test; those below that level must complete language courses.
