Course programme

Last update: 03-12-2010

Year 1

The first year of the EIM programme combines both academic and entrepreneurial training. The first year of studies is made up of:

• Courses aimed at acquiring business basics and developing an international approach in all the subjects.
• A group business project (Alpha 1)
• An in-company training period: the Hands-on Discovery internship.
  

Year 2

The second year at the EIM is devoted to courses and a business project. Studies aim to develop the student’s knowledge and mastery of the management techniques that structure companies in an international context.

The programme consists in: 

• General courses that enable students to develop a wider vision and deepen their knowledge of international business practices.
• A business project (Alpha 2)
• A major in “Corporate Culture, Ethics and Behaviour” and a study of economic and business trends. This major is a real stepping stone towards international mobility.

Year 3

The third year of the EIM programme is spent full-time in a company. This year inside a firm enables students to learn from real life situations in a professional environment and allows them to take part in the development of an organisation through a long-term international assignment.

This one-year internship can take place in France or abroad, in the public or private sector.

Year 4

The final year of studies can take place in France or abroad:

• Overseas, in one of our partner universities, students attend courses at the host institution and can earn a foreign degree (Bachelor, Licenciatura or Diplombetriebswirt/-in).
• In France, at the EIM, the final year is organised in three phases :

1. a first phase of distance learning in partnership with Trobe University in Australia
2. a second phase of management courses
3. a third phase of elective courses that enable students to be highly operational in their first job.

This year enables students to earn a BBA Hons from the EIM and a Bachelor’s degree from Trobe University in Australia.

The fourth year ends with a final training period: a specialisation internship. It lasts at least 6 months and usually leads to the student’s first job.
