Audencia's Grande École program is a high-level, two-year program (PGE) leading to a nationally recognized master's degree.
Our PGE trains leaders to meet current and future economic, technological and social challenges. Students benefit from multidisciplinary education, international experience, internships and practical projects to gain solid professional experience.
They can personalize their course with a choice of three tracks: commitment, modular or apprenticeship.
Audencia Business School's program promotes your personal development through a balanced pedagogical project based on three dimensions:
Scheduled over one or two years, your Master 1 is an opportunity for you to choose the path that best suits your needs:
You can also follow the Grande Ecole program in English via the English Track.
The first year of Master 1 will therefore consist of a semester of in-depth management or the semester of management of the energy and environmental transition - Gaïa (face-to-face or distance learning at your choice) half-time.
On the 2nd half-time:
In the second year of the M1 program, students spend one semester studying abroad and one semester in a corporate internship.
During these two years of Master 1, we give students the opportunity to build their own academic pathway. The idea is that the finalized pathway includes two academic semesters to choose from among 3 (in-depth management, Gaïa or international) and 2 semesters of internship.
Examples of possible paths (not exhaustive):
Or
Semester 1 (1st year of Master 1): Management Semester
Semester 2 (1st year of Master 1): Semester of Energy and Environmental Transition Management - Gaïa
Semester 3 (2nd year of Master 1): Internship
Semester 4 (2nd year of Master 1): Internship
A path that facilitates integration into the corporate world under salaried status (24-month contract).
Four tracks are available:
*After a semester in management or a semester in Gaïa (choice of face-to-face or distance learning) and an internship.
This final year embodies one of the fundamental directions of the PGE: dual skills. With over 26 specializations at Audencia spread across 4 themes, together with opportunities for double degrees in France, as well as internationally, you're bound to find the offer that meets your desires!
You can then take a number of different courses during your Master 2:
