In early September 2025, a COMPULSORY math refresher course (affectionately known as the "math bootcamp") will be held before the beginning of the first semester.
The Math bootcamp is free, compulsory and non-credited for the MAS students in Sustainable Finance, Impact Investing and Development.
The 2025-2026 Math Bootcamp, taught by Matteo Ficarra, will take place from Sept 8th to Sept 12th, 2025 (except on Sept 11th which is a public holiday in Geneva - Jeûne genevois).
The aim of this 4-day course (20 hours in total) is to give the incoming MAS students the necessary mathematical and statistical skills to begin the core courses. An introduction to Stata will also be given. It will consist of daily lectures and problem-solving sessions designed to bring students from heterogeneous academic backgrounds up to speed in terms of the quantitative methods used in economics.
