Executive Master in Strategy & Management of International Business

The program is built around 5 areas: 

• International Strategy
• International Management
• International Marketing
• International Business
• Financial Engineering

A 10-day study seminar is organized abroad (Eastern Europe, Singapore, etc.)

All classes are conducted in English.

The program is organized into 2 phases:

• Management tools and methods (management control, financial analysis, etc.),
• Guiding change and new organizations (impact of change on organizations, directing a change, etc.), in addition to a seminar and an educational trip abroad.

Experience sharing:

Sharing experience and expertise between participants is another integral part of the educational dynamic. It also serves as the link between learning and corporate action. Attendance at sessions and participation in discussions are therefore essential.

Professional thesis:

Participants must complete a professional thesis. This demanding project concerns a corporate issue and leads to concrete proposals, thus giving each participant the chance to immediately apply the concepts, methods, and tools gained during the training program.
