Three new "Advanced Executive Master Programs" available to professionals on Paris campus
From the beginning of the 2020 academic year, three new “Advanced Executive Master Programmes” will be available to professionals on the Paris campus:
- “Global Supply Chain Management, ISLI”,
- “International Purchasing Management, MAI”,
- “Leading Innovation &Transformation for the Healthcare Industry, LITHE”
These new programmes are aimed at international managers in France and/or abroad who wish to upgrade their professional skills and acquire a dual scientific/technical and managerial competence. Every programme is accessible to experienced managers looking for a new or more challenging approach to their job. Their objective is to develop these managers into management positions. They are delivered exclusively in English, by an international team of lecturers and professional speakers, over a one-year period. 20 to 25 places will be open in each course.
Blended learning courses
In response to issues relating to the flexibility of training time management and travel costs, KEDGE Executive Education provides blended learning programmes, a format combining remote with in-person courses. This format is suited to the managerial reality in companies in an international context of project management, while allowing for more flexibility in everyone’s learning abilities. Immersion seminars are organised with the school’s historical partners to add variety to the course environments and develop the experiential dimension of these programmes.
