INTERNSHIPS

Throughout the five years of the degree course, internships allow students to discover how companies work and what challenges they face. Over the course of five years, each student will do at least 18 months of internships in France or abroad.

Each internship has a precise objective:

First Year

Business Discovery

Internship Discovering companies and the world of business.  

Third Year

Management Internship

Managing and taking complete long-term control of projects in order to develop analytical and synthesising skills.  

 Fifth Year

Specialisation Internship In order to be immediately operational upon graduating, and if possible finishing with a permanent contract.  

BUSINESS ASSIGNMENTS

Business assignments are real and concrete projects assigned to students by individuals and businesses wishing to create, take over or develop a structure. They are a great way for students to apply their theoretical courses to practical situations. Working in teams of five, they are supervised by their academic advisor and teachers. At the end of their assignment they will present their conclusions and recommendations to a jury of professionals.

First Year

1.       Communication : its purpose is to teach students about communication techniques, project management and teamwork.

2.       In-the-field Sales : this assignment allows the practice of negotiating techniques.

3.        Market Research: with the goal of deciding whether or not to validate the launch of the product, concept or service from a marketing point of view.  

Second Year

1.      Oral Business Exam : the student must demonstrate to the jury his mastery of selling techniques.

2.     Business Creation : this assignment allows the student to carry out the complete market research for a project at the request of a professional.  

Third Year

1.      Oral Business Exam in English: its purpose is to demonstrate to the jury the student’s ability to carry out business negotiations in English.  

Fourth Year

1.      Business Acquisition & Transfer:  the aim is to identify suitable businesses for a corporate buyer and to analyse them.

2.      Specialisation : the assignment will depend on what specialisation the student has chosen. For example, this may involve calculating cash flow in Finance, developing a complete analysis for Entrepreneurial Management, elaborating a marketing strategy in Marketing Management, or analysing international development projects in International Management.

LES MISSIONS D'ENTREPRISES

Projets réels et concrets, soumis aux étudiants par des personnes ou des entreprises voulant créer, reprendre ou développer une structure, les missions d'entreprises constituent une bonne manière pour les étudiants d'appliquer directement leurs cours théoriques aux problématiques réelles. Par équipe de cinq, ils sont encadrés par leur directeur pédagogique et leurs professeurs afin de présenter, à l'issue de leur mission, leurs conclusions et leurs préconisations devant un jury de professionnels.

EDC is a school with an “entrepreneurial” spirit: Let us work together to train your future colleagues. 

The “School-Businesses Relations” department shares with companies the most suitable student profiles for their needs and sector.

EDC delivers a master grade degree after five years of study, which is recognised by the French Ministry of Education and Research.  

Belonging to 250 former students who are all business leaders, and strengthened by their experience and savoir-faire, EDC aims to advance the students’ education as closely in step with companies as possible.

The internships and business assignments are an advantageous opportunity for companies to meet future colleagues who are motivated, operational, ethical and responsible. It is also an opportunity for them to participate in the training of future colleagues.

Students benefit from an education that is exacting, innovative and centred on entrepreneurship. It combines periods of studying theory, business assignments, internships, studies or internships abroad and workshops dedicated to professional projects and professionalization.

The first three years allow students to master the fundamentals of management. At the end of the third year, students choose between 4 specialities:  

• Marketing Management,
• Finance,
• Entrepreneurial Management,
• International Management.
