The Master in Management Science is a demanding programme that aims to train students in all core disciplines and areas relevant for business management. Its key distinguishing features are the size of its common core (advanced compulsory courses) which provide students with a solid base of knowledge and skills, its strong emphasis on analytical skills, and its multi-disciplinarity character (law, economics, management, communication and languages) which provides students with a breadth of tools and approaches to evolve in an increasingly complex and dynamic world. A large choice of options allows students to pursue their intellectual interest in all disciplines of management or apply their skills in a supervised consulting project with partner companies.
