Financial Data Analytics — Six-Month Professional Course
School: FINCOM Paris | Paris Business School. Duration: Six months. Programme code: ESPAST-C17.
Course Overview
Learn to organize financial and market data, analyze indicators, and express risk. Complete research exercises using public or simulated data to understand the relationship between analytical tools and business judgment.
Learning unfolds around a complete case, progressively developing problem analysis, process documentation, and final outcomes. This course is not a compression of Bachelor or MSc into six months, but concentrated training in the specific capabilities outlined in this course.
Target Audience and Application Requirements
Basic mathematics, statistics, or business knowledge is recommended. Applicants submit personal information, CV or learning history, and learning motivation; if the course involves creative work or technical foundations, applicants may attach portfolio or project materials. The course team will assess whether supplementary foundation learning is needed based on submitted materials.
Learning Objectives
- Able to verify financial data.
- Able to analyze financial or market indicators.
- Able to interpret risk and limitations.

Six-Month Learning Schedule
Months 1–2: Study Financial and Reporting Fundamentals and Data Organisation, identify case and prepare materials, complete foundation exercises.
Months 3–4: Deepen Statistics and Indicators, Market and Financial Analysis, complete phase applications, receive feedback and revise methods or options.
Months 5–6: Complete integrated project around Risk Scenarios and Reporting and Evidence, organize outcomes and conduct final review.
Practical Project
Complete a business or market data case, deliver indicators, risk scenarios, and analysis brief. Outcomes must explain personal contribution, materials used, analysis or production methods, results, and limitations. Team tasks are individually assessed for personal outcomes; participation in team activities does not substitute individual assessment.
Teaching Methods
The course combines method instruction, case exercises, project feedback, and final review. Online learning applies to materials, calculations, digital production, and document collaboration; tasks requiring photography, rehearsal, physical objects, or equipment testing require on-site specifications and conditions to be confirmed before the course starts. Actual online, hybrid, or on-site format is announced per cohort; listing a six-month course does not automatically commit all three formats to run.
Assessment and Completion
Complete designated modules and phase assignments, submit integrated project and pass final review. Evaluation focuses on verifying financial data, analyzing financial or market indicators, interpreting risk and limitations, and outcome accuracy, process documentation, expression, and professional responsibility. Specific grading, resubmission, and re-review procedures will be announced before the course begins; those who do not complete assessment do not automatically receive a completion certificate.
Successful completion and assessment lead to an institution-issued professional course certificate.
Skills and Career Applications
Can be used for financial data, financial analysis, and business risk support tasks. Course projects can serve as personal learning outcomes or portfolio materials; actual positions require evaluation in combination with existing education, experience, and employer requirements.
Fees and Application
Contact admissions for course tuition and payment information. Online and on-site use the same six-month full course fee. Before formal admission, tuition, practical conditions, other fees, and payment terms will be provided; pre-application does not require payment of tuition.
