Masters in Management and Business Administration

The aim of the MAE Masters is twofold:

• to give students or professionals who have never studied management but who have skills in science, law or the humanities a genuine general knowledge of business and management;
• enable them to acquire or consolidate management skills

This complementary generalist course is designed to enable students and professionals to gain an understanding of all the major functions of a company by imparting the basic knowledge and concepts of the main management disciplines, familiarising them with the techniques needed to practise these disciplines and putting them into perspective with the local economic and legal environment.

It enables students to obtain a dual degree that facilitates access to positions requiring a strategic vision of the company and its organisation, and gives them a wider range of options in their professional lives. Particularly valued by companies at the recruitment stage, or subsequently as a career accelerator towards management positions, dual skills give these students a real advantage that makes all the difference to recruiters.
