Programa Master Cycle

Overall structure of the Master cycle

Structure of the Master Cycle - Grande École Program

Note that during semester 3, students also have the option of doing an exchange abroad (except for the specific tracks Audit and Entrepreneurship), or a double degree internally or at a partner university.

 

Tailoring your path: from core curriculum to specialization

Upon entering the Master’s Cycle, students have the opportunity to choose one major from the 7 offered by the School.
This major, studied over one semester, is tied to one of the main management disciplines (Finance, Marketing, Accounting, etc.). This major is followed by a semester of specialization, which consists of a more in-depth study and enables students to further refine their career plans.

Specialization is conditional on the choice of major, while interdisciplinarity – essential in business – is encouraged by the variety of courses offered in different disciplines. The third semester of courses is dedicated to the minor chosen by the student, which focuses on a different discipline from the major. Students thus acquire a dual skill set.
