 1. A profile of the graduate

The Master in Management prepares the graduate to meet the challenge of becoming a socially responsible professional with a transversal approach to the management professions.

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

At the end of this programme (including an optional company work placement and foreign exchange), the graduate will have developed the skills and knowhow that will allow him to master the complex and varied issues that organisations encounter in management of occupations, skills and processes, whether at a strategic, tactical or operational level.
