Join the Master in Management (Programme Grande École) in Year 1
This programme offers a coherent progression of skills and includes a semester abroad, a real springboard for cultural and academic openness.
Why join the Master in Management in Year 1?
The first semester of Year 1, called “The Explorer”, marks a smooth transition from secondary school to business school. It is the ideal stage to lay the foundations of management through core subjects such as strategy, finance, law, marketing and organisational dynamics. Students also develop their professional attitude and digital culture through the “Tech for Business” module.
The second semester, “The Architect”, then allows students to design, model and structure their knowledge. They explore entrepreneurship and venture, market intelligence, financial intelligence and analytical tools, to gain a comprehensive, practical and responsible understanding of today’s companies.
