Programme overview
The Two-Year MSc is the ideal choice for those who wish to do a year of study on the business fundamentals before specialising on the MSc itself.
The Two-Year MSc is designed also for students who hold a three-year bachelor's degree rather than the four-year degree normally required for entry to our one-year MSc programmes.
The first year of this programme is composed of core courses (Advanced Business Management and Global Business Environment), as well as specialisations track courses.
The second year is entirely devoted to a specialisation. The two-year MSc programme is open to candidates who have already obtained a three-year university degree , or equivalent, and an English test validated with the required level.
