The MScM is organized along four orientations: Marketing, Strategy, Organization and Leadership (SOL), Business Analytics (BA) and Behavior Economics and Evolution (BEE). The orientation will figure on the diploma.

The MScM program includes a total of four semesters. The first three modules comprise a collection of compulsory and elective courses. During the third semester, students can ask to participate in an exchange program in another university. The fourth is entirely dedicated to the Master thesis.

In all orientations, semester projects allow students to apply field methodologies to real data.

Compulsory courses (30 ECTS credits):

• Quantitative Methods for Management (mandatory for all)

• 2 non-orientation elective courses

Module 2

Module 2 is composed of mandatory courses related to the chosen orientation and a wide selection of optional courses to chose within all other orientations. 

Module 3
