The MBA is challenging but hugely rewarding and will set you apart from others and helping you get noticed by potential employers.
The programme requires three years of relevant work experience, and would be both beneficial for those who wish to run their own business, as well as those who hope to prepare for management roles, managing either a single department or an entire business.
What will you learn
The programme examines the most fundamental concepts in international business, including marketing, accounting, business law and strategic management. You'll develop both the academic excellence and practical skills you need to succeed and you'll also have the opportunity to complete a specialisation, some of which are delivered in Grenoble or Paris.
The opportunities available upon completion of this programme are extensive and students will benefit from a number of MBA specialisations, each offering a specific skillset.
The programme is completed over two years, with the second year entirely devoted to the completion of the final management project (FMP). The FMP can be completed in parallel with an internship or full-time employment.
