This professional training course, designed for journalism graduates, offers an intensive specialization in economic and financial journalism. With a practical and theoretical approach, the program provides the necessary tools to understand and cover complex news from the world of business, macroeconomics and the stock market.

The syllabus is structured into six key modules that range from business fundamentals and labor law to financial analysis and balance sheet interpretation. The course also delves into the macroeconomic indicators (GDP, inflation, unemployment), the stock markets and fiscal and monetary policy. Finally, it covers the global economy and international trade relations.

The sessions combine theory with intensive practice.
