Master in Business
Objectives
Today’s business world is characterised by interactions between the so-called globalisation process and the increasing share of knowledge-based activities in the production of wealth, making it difficult for corporate decision-makers to achieve a complete understanding of their productive environment.
The need for high level executives with an understanding of both technical and business issues is therefore becoming more and more acute. To respond to this need, the Master in Business has been designed as an English-taught postgraduate programme aimed at graduate students with a business or non-business education wishing to develop their understanding of business and management matters.
The aim of the programme is to produce corporate specialists who will be able to apply in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of the business environment to advanced international management practice.
Special Features of the programme
The Master in Business of Burgundy School of Business was designed both as an educational and life experience:
Study in France, in English:
The Master in Business programme provides students, interested in France but unable to take French-taught classes, with the opportunity to study on a programme in an internationally orientated French business school located in a town and region endowed with huge cultural and historical wealth, in the heart of Europe.
Study in an international environment:
Burgundy School of Business is a truly international business school, with students coming from all over the world. The faculty includes native English speaking teachers as well as experienced professionals.
According to the European university degree framework (3/5/8), the Master in Business is considered as a European Masters 1.
