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 M1 MSC, M2 MSC prepares future managers, project leaders, and consultants who specialize in designing and delivering projects that drive operational change and strategic transformation across all types of organizations. The curriculum is designed to consolidate the foundations laid in M1 in both strategic and operational management (strategy and CSR, people management and leadership, project team management, change management, process and complex project management, innovation, digital transformation, information systems, and international/intercultural management). In addition, courses in English, project management, and research methods—together with the implementation of team projects, work-study/apprenticeship placements, and the completion of a rigorous research thesis—equip students with practical know-how as well as strong analytical and interpersonal skills that significantly enhance their professionalization and employability.

Course Prerequisites

The vast majority of M2 MSC apprentices come from M1 MSC (apprenticeship or standard track) and are admitted by right. However, admission is also possible for students who have completed an M1 in the Strategic Management major, other M1 programs within the Graduate School of Economics & Management, and external candidates, following a selective review of the application and an interview.

A minimum B1 level in English (CEFR) is expected (and C1 in French for international students). Submission of a Score IAE-Message is appreciated.

General expectations:

- Successful completion—with strong mastery—of M1 courses related to the strategic management of organizations.
- One or more internships/apprenticeships, and participation in projects and/or group activities.
- A clear career plan consistent with the skills developed and the program’s professional outcomes.
- Intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and a genuine interest in research in strategic management 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 la fin du contrat d'apprentissage.
Internships and supervised projects

As part of the Project Management course unit (UE), students design, formalize, and implement social, solidarity-based, cultural, or sports projects, applying the methods taught in class with guidance from the course coordinator. Likewise, the Digital Project Management UE enables students, after a methodological primer, to design a digital project in response to a brief from a nonprofit organization or startup founder, working in interaction with the sponsors and presenting the final deliverables at the assessment stage. Finally, the HRM & Organizational Transformations course and the Innovation Project Management course also place students in project teams and require them to produce and present deliverables.

Work-study periods in companies are a major component of apprentice training, closely aligned with the knowledge and skills acquired in class. Assessment of the in-company immersion is based on the completion of a research thesis in strategic management whose research question is tied to the professional context. The objective is to evaluate students’ critical analysis and reflective practice regarding their professional immersion, as well as their ability to conduct applied research in strategic management.

Transfer paths

Le M2 MSC en apprentissage accueille aussi des étudiants du M1 MSC classique (de plein droit, sous réserve de signer un contrat d’apprentissage avec l’aide de notre CFA partenaire, Sup de V) ainsi que des étudiants d’autres parcours de Master en provenance de la mention Management stratégique, d’autres mentions de la Graduate School Economie & Management et d’autres établissements, à la suite d’un processus de sélection (dossier et entretien).

Méthodes mobilisées
Le M2 MSC privilégie une pédagogie basée sur le travail en équipe et en mode projet afin d’améliorer vos capacités à collaborer et à communiquer dans un environnement professionnel exigeant. Dès les premiers jours de la formation, vous serez amenés à conduire des projets concrets, à réaliser des simulations et des mises en situation, à travailler sur des études de cas d’entreprises et à restituer régulièrement vos travaux à l’écrit comme à l’oral. L’organisation d’un séminaire international d’une semaine à l'étranger (généralement dans un pays de l'UE) est articulée avec le cours de management international et interculturel afin d’immerger les étudiants dans un nouvel environnement linguistique et culturel. Enfin, la professionnalisation des étudiants est assurée par une étroite articulation entre les interventions des enseignants-chercheurs avec des professionnels exerçant des responsabilités dans des organisations de tout type et des professionnels du conseil, ainsi que les périodes en entreprise.
Accompagnement personnalisé
Les effectifs du M2 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 M2.
