Présentation
Objectives

Supporting a company through strategic transformation, the improvement of working methods and processes, the roll-out of digital tools, or the evolution of its information systems requires expertise in project management methods, change management, and strategy & organisation consulting.

The MSC Master’s programme therefore aims to train specialists in strategic change management and project management, prepared to take on cross-functional roles (change manager, project manager, PMO, product owner, scrum master, consultant, product manager, HR or marketing project officer) within a global context of environmental, social, and digital transformation of organisations.

Overall organisation

Building on a bachelor’s degree, especially in Economics & Management or Business Administration, Year 1 (M1) of the MSC program develops students’ knowledge and skills in strategic management (strategy and corporate social responsibility, organizational management, change management, project management, innovation, digital management, and ethics) and in its functional areas (human resource management, marketing, and performance measurement and management). In addition, courses in English, data analysis, research methods, entrepreneurship, stakeholder law, and managerial communication, together with industry guest lectures and work-based learning/internship periods tied to the completion of an introductory research thesis in strategic management, equip students with practical know-how and interpersonal skills that strongly enhance their professional readiness.

Course Prerequisites

Eligible undergraduate backgrounds for admission to the MSC, Year 1 (M1):

- Primarily: a Bachelor’s degree in Management/Business Administration, Economics & Management, or AES (Administration économique et sociale).
- A Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, Law, or LEA (Applied Foreign Languages) with a management-oriented focus.
- A management-related Bachelor’s degree that confers the French grade de licence (bachelor’s level).

In addition, a minimum B1 level in English (CEFR) is required, and submission of a Score IAE-Message is appreciated.

General expectations:
- Successful completion—with strong mastery—of undergraduate courses related to the strategic management of organizations.
- A coherent career plan aligned with the program.
- Preferably, one or more internships and/or participation in projects or group activities.
- Demonstrated drive, intellectual curiosity, and autonomy through extracurricular activities.
- Interest in research and the scientific method.

Rythme de la formation
Alternance d’une semaine à l’université et de deux semaines en entreprise entre septembre et juin puis temps plein en entreprise jusqu’à fin août pour la première année sachant que le contrat d’apprentissage élaboré en M1 (avec l’accompagnement, dès la recherche, de notre CFA partenaire, Sup de V de la CCI de Paris Ile-de-France) doit impérativement couvrir les 2 ans du master. Le rythme d’apprentissage est identique en M2.
Internships and supervised projects

Several courses require students to work in a project-based format to strengthen their ability to collaborate and to apply project management methods.

Work-study (apprenticeship) placements are a key component of training, closely integrated with the knowledge and skills acquired in class. Assessment of the in-company immersion is based on an analytical assignment report paired with a research thesis in strategic management, with the research question tied to the professional context. The aim is to evaluate students’ critical analysis and reflective practice regarding their professional immersion, as well as their ability to conduct an initial piece of applied research in strategic management.

Transfer paths

La poursuite du master en M2 MSC en apprentissage est de plein droit dans le cadre du contrat d’apprentissage de 2 ans initié en M1 avec le support de notre CFA partenaire, Sup de V de la CCI de Paris Ile-de-France. 
En outre, il est possible de poursuivre le parcours de master (avec dépôt de dossier de candidature) vers d'autres M2 de la Graduate School Economie & Management dont les prérequis sont compatibles.
Enfin, le programme du M1 MSC permet aussi aux étudiants de s'orienter vers de nombreux M2 d'autres universités ou de grandes écoles dont les prérequis sont compatibles.

Méthodes mobilisées
Un effectif compatible avec l'effectif du M2 MSC facilite la mise en oeuvre d’une pédagogie interactive, basée sur un équilibre entre travaux individuels et de groupes dans le cadre d'évaluations en contrôle continu. Ces derniers prennent notamment la forme de simulations de gestion de crise, de négociation et de création d'entreprise, de mises en situation, d’apprentissage de la pratique des IAG, d'études de cas, de visites d'entreprises, de conférences de professionnels et de chercheurs (journée recherche de la Graduate School Economie & Management, rencontres du management à l'ISM-IAE). Enfin, les enjeux écologiques, sociaux et éthiques du management stratégique dans un contexte de digitalisation et d'internationalisation des entreprises irriguent l'ensemble des cours du master, particulièrement en articulation avec le contexte d’alternance des apprentis.
Accompagnement personnalisé
Les effectifs du M1 permettent un suivi individuel des étudiants par les responsables pédagogiques en fonction de leurs besoins, notamment à l'occasion de la réalisation des projets, de la recherche de leur alternance et du suivi du contrat en entreprise (mission du CFA) et de la réalisation de leur mémoire de M1.
