Programme schedule

International Master Europe EQUIS

The EMP can last 13 or 16 months and is split into four periods: 

  •  September-November - Bilbao or Nantes: core management classes 
  •  January-March - Nantes or Bilbao: European management classes 
  •  April-early June - Bradford: international management classes 
  •  July-late September (or late December) - company internship preferably in a country where the participant’s first language is not spoken.

In this way, students follow the programme in Bilbao then Nantes then finally in Bradford, OR alternatively, in Nantes then Bilbao and finally in Bradford.

  • The order of study between the three partners is determined by participants’ linguistic capabilities. During the first months in France or in Spain, an intensive language course allows all students to reach the required levels of fluency.
  • During each study period, classes are taught in the language of the country concerned.
  • The EMP requires an intensive study rhythm and high personal investment.

At the end of each business study period, credits are awarded for both class work and internships. The total credits gained are then approved by a tri-national jury, leading to the award of the diploma.
