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).

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
