After 2 years of higher education

Third year (U3)

The third year is a key stage for refining your career path and actively preparing to continue your studies. Students tackle strategic subjects such as business law, strategy, management accounting, market finance, supply chain management and digital marketing, with a strong analytical focus based on data. The year also emphasises current issues such as responsible business, ethical marketing and organisational transformation.

At the same time, students develop their personal branding and build a meaningful career plan, particularly through practical projects such as business plans and socially responsible initiatives. The semester concludes with a compulsory internship, which is essential for gaining an insight into the professional world and putting course content into practice. The third year is thus characterised by its balance between specialist knowledge, strategic thinking and practical application, equipping students to meet the challenges of the business world.

After 3 years of higher education

In the first year of the Master’s programme, choose your pre-specialisation in Management, then specialise further in the final year.

Master’s programme: a detailed overview

Choose your specialisation

After your third year, you will need to choose a two-year specialisation track to complete your degree. This track consists of a first semester of core modules, followed by a second semester of pre-specialisation modules, which focus more closely on the track’s specific theme. With the right preparation, you can complete your degree with a second year of specialisation, which will help you develop your skills in the area that aligns with your career plans.

Two types of programme:

• The ‘Work-Study’ programme, which will enable you to gain practical experience in the field
• The ‘Double Degree’ programme – you will complete both a Master in Management (PGE) and an MS or MSc in the second year

By choosing the initial programme, you have the opportunity to study abroad:

• In the first semester of the M1 at the Dublin or Oxford campuses.
• In the second semester of the M1 at the Dubai campus or at a partner university.
• The full M2 year at a partner university, leading to a double degree.

 

Depending on your career plans and interests, EM Normandie offers the following pathways:

On these ‘Specialisation’ pages, you will find the lead campuses for each specialisation, the various study pathways available, as well as a detailed list of the courses on offer and the options for a double degree.
