ABOUT THE MASTER IN MANAGEMENT
Master in Management; what is it?
The 3 years of the undergraduate cycle of the Master in Management Programme are structured by semester, with each semester designed around specific learning objectives and a distinctive identity. This progressive pathway enables students to develop their skills in a coherent and stimulating way, including a semester dedicated to an international experience, a true gateway to cultural and academic openness.
Each semester—with the exception of the one spent abroad—features at least one interdisciplinary project. These projects allow students to apply and integrate the knowledge acquired across different fields. From the very first semester, for example, the flagship project Business Exploration invites students to combine economics, management, law, and communication within a single integrated assignment, guided and assessed by professors from each discipline.
Why choose the Master In Management at EDC Paris Business School?
In terms of content, the programme is firmly anchored in contemporary issues. Students are introduced to topics such as social responsibility, ethics, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, as well as the major technological and societal transformations of our time: artificial intelligence, coding, big data, sociology, geopolitics, and the impact of technology on organizations and society.

A step forward in professional life
The internship is halfway between a traditional internship and a work-study programme. It generally lasts longer than a simple internship (6 to 10 months) and the student's status is not the same as for a work-study internship. The work-study internship must follow the rhythm of the training programme, i.e. 3 weeks in the company / 1 week of training. The host company may cover all or part of the student's training costs, depending on negotiations between the student and the company. In any case, if the internship lasts more than 2 months, the student is paid at least the legal minimum wage. The advantage of work-study programmes is that they immerse students in the professional world and allow them to put their theoretical knowledge into practice.
An apprenticeship contract is a written fixed-term or permanent employment contract between an employee and an employer.
It allows the apprentice to follow a work-study programme between the company, under the supervision of an apprenticeship supervisor, and an apprentice training centre (CFA) for a period of 6 months to 3 years. The apprenticeship contract must comply with the training schedule, i.e. 3 weeks in the company / 1 week in training. Since 1 January 2020, the cost of apprenticeship training has been covered by skills operators (OPCO) at a level set by the professional branches according to the field of activity of the qualification or diploma sought (or, failing that, by decree, particularly when the training has never been provided as an apprenticeship). For contracts lasting more than one year, reimbursement is granted for each year of the contract. In the case of the last year of the contract, payment is made on a pro rata basis. When the duration of the contract is less than one year, the amount is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the level of annual remuneration. In the event of early termination of the apprenticeship contract, payment is made on a pro rata basis for the duration of the apprenticeship contract. Any month that has begun is due. This formula allows you to gain unique and lasting experience as a real employee of the company (1 week at school - 3 weeks in the field).
