 1. A profile of the graduate 

The Master 60 in Management evening course prepares the graduate to meet the challenge of becoming a socially responsible professional with a global overview of the management professions.

The Master 60 in Management evening course, is a programme that develops the basic skills and expertise necessary for management functions in public or private, national or international, commercial or non-commercial organisations.

A student registering for this programme has already been involved in an active professional life for at least 3 years. Throughout the programme, the student calls on this experience and compares it to the knowledge, tools and theoretical and methodological frameworks, and vice versa. Thus, the Master’s programme allows him to consider and enrich his professional and personal development by incorporating an academic approach, a reflective view and critical detachment.
