International Management and Sustainability (Global and Sustainable Management)
New degree : opening in September 2024
The Master International Management and Sustainability (Global and Sustainable Management) is a program that provides specific managerial knowledge to handle environmental and societal transitions.
Classes are entirely taught in English and students have the opportunity to learn French language and civilization at the same time. Class size is purposely limited which makes courses very dialogue-driven, and all faculty members are accessible to participants.
Students coming from partner universities can follow just one semester of the program.
The second semester of the M2 has two options :
- Professional internship (a 6 months internship in a company in France or abroad).
- Research (a research dissertation and the option to continue as PhD student).
Benefits
- Understand the issues related to environmental and societal transitions and lead a global management strategy
- Develop practical management skills for environmental and social transitions in organizations
- Master the transversal and international vision of organizations to work in cross-cultural environment companies
Career outcomes
- Students will find managerial positions in an international environment in the general fields of marketing, international economics, finance, human resources management.
- Students who had followed the option research in sustainability could also enter directly a PhD-program after the Master Global and Sustainable Management.
