Vanier’s Financial Services and Insurance program develops students’ expertise in asset management and protection, leading to careers in banking, insurance and investments.

In this program, students learn the fundamentals of finance and dive into diverse fields of insurance. In addition to taking general business courses, they study subjects like investment planning and wealth management, personal and commercial insurance, and risk assessment. This knowledge is applied during a 4-week internship in the final semester. Accredited by the Autorité de Marchés Financiers (AMF), the program prepares students to write professional exams required by employers in the financial and insurance sectors.
