The unique nature of ESSEC's pedagogical model is based on a commitment to combining academic learning with experience and a tradition of innovation that is constantly being renewed. Our ambition is to enable each person to design their own learning path.
To all those who join us, our ambition is to be the true creators of their own educational experience. In virtue of this, we offer a great deal of flexibility in the construction of their learning paths within the different programs. This is the essence of "design learning", which informs the organization of ESSEC's pathways. Whether you are a student or a participant, this concept focuses on a progressive affirmation of your freedom as you refine your future. Personalized learning is established through ongoing dialog with the institution.
Within the Master in Management program, design learning takes shape thanks to a very broad catalog of courses. It is built on the articulation and mutual reinforcement between academic teaching, professional experience and international exposure. During your studies, you will spend at least 18 months in the field, in a company or organization, and nine months overseas. Apprenticeships are a particularly appropriate way to combine the strengths of professional experience with an academic education.
