At SKEMA campuses outside of France, students will follow Master in Management, Grande École programme M1 courses and receive equivalency credits that will be applied to their DESMI1 Two-year MSc programme.​


The first year of the Two-Year MSc is worth a total of 60 credits and is taught over one year.
 
To validate the first year of the Two-Year MSc programme and progress to the final year specialisation, a student must:
  • Obtain 60 ECTS credits
  • Have a work placement or professional experience of at least two months. If the professional experience is not
    completed by the end of year one, a six-month work experience will be required at the end of year two.
The above details are for information only and may be changed by the school without prior notice.


The choice for the MSc specialisation must be taken before starting the Two-Year MSc
Students may start their first year in a campus and switch to another campus, where their MSc specialisation is available, for the second year. During the second year of the Two-Year MSc programme, you may begin your specialisation on one campus and if your specialisation exists on another campus, then you will be able to change campuses for the final semester.

Exception for MSc Financial Markets & Investments: both semesters must be done on the same campus.
