Master in Management

ICN's Master in management is a general management programme studied over two years for international students:

• « Experiment » : Master 1 level is when students start taking specialised classes, which focus on theory while also developing the skills you will need to succeed in your chosen career. The #ArtTechnologyManagement workshop gives students the opportunity to carry out a long-term project throughout the academic year as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• « Jump » : In the Master 2 level, the programme emphasises responsible decision-making and deepens students' knowledge and expertise in their specific field as part of a joint degree. You can personalise your pathway by taking a joint degree in France or abroad. The year ends with a final internship, or you may decide to start working straightaway.

Experience year (optional):

You can take a year out between Master 1 and Master 2 year to focus on gaining work experience, study or undergo training at a partner university, or pursue another project agreed between you and the programme director.

Our flexible study options allow you to achieve your goals.

All students at ICN Business School will obtain a double degree (unless you decide to spend your final year at a partner university). 5 options are available:

Double degree (Grande Ecole Programme + MSc in your chosen specialisation)
