Skema’s Master in Management diploma is recognised by the French State and endorsed as Master. It is 26th in the Financial Times Master in Management worldwide 2016 ranking.

MASTER 1 FIRST YEAR

ADVANCED BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Students will study Advanced Business Management in the first semester. Courses are taught in English and help the student develop a deeper understanding of business management principles. The student may then choose either to pursue his studies with Global Business Environment, which provides an opportunity to develop international experience through a clearer grasp of global business dynamics and expectations, or undertake an international mission. An international mission during the second semester allows students to apply skills learnt in the first semester within a global context. The work placement, four months minimum, takes place either in a company based outside the student’s own country of origin or within their home country if the mission is considered to have an international dimension.

At the end of the Master 1, all students may undertake a company placement of three months.

SEMESTER INTERNSHIP:An optional work placement is possible either in M1 or in M2 as shown in the schema opposite (two placements of six months minimum) enabling students to identify their own career plan, gain a clearer insight into the workings of a company and thus choose their final year specialisation.

MASTER 2 SECOND YEAR

SPECIALISATION AND CAREER START

During their final year, students have the opportunity to fine tune their profile and acquire specialised knowledge. The chosen specialisation and post-study work experience placement are designed to help the student successfully join the business world.

Options available in Master 2 include: Studying an MSc or postgraduate programme (Specialised Master - MS) for the chosen specialisation (over 22 specialisations) Choose from the dual track programmes on offer (leading to prestigious exams such as the Chartered Financial Analyst- CFA)

Studying on one of our international campuses An academic exchange or double degree with one of our foreign partners An international work placement

Matei-Dinu Hariton Master in Management final year in 2013-14, from Romania

“ The customisable curriculum and wide range of courses have given me the opportunity to grow in a dynamic environment in the heart of Paris’s business district and, consequently, to get a taste of French business culture.

The multicultural environment and interaction with diverse and international students and faculty has been great! In addition, the mix of theoretical classes in strategy, web-based courses in management accounting, practical team projects such as business games, and the international internship have helped me acquire the necessary skills to successfully launch my career in a competitive professional environment. This has made a decisive impact on my career path, helping me to develop business acumen and providing me with the international dimension I was seeking.”

SKEMA LANGUAGE PREP COURSE LOCATED ON SKEMA’S SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS CAMPUS

IF YOU PLAN TO TAKE A BACHELOR OR MSC PROGRAMME AT SKEMA BUSINESS SCHOOL AND YOU DO NOT CURRENTLY MEET THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY, OR YOU SIMPLY WANT A SHORT TOP-UP ENGLISH PROGRAMME BEFORE YOU START YOUR STUDIES AT SKEMA, WHY NOT CHOOSE TO LEARN WITH US?

Located on the Sophia Antipolis campus of SKEMA Business School, the Executive Education branch has assisted thousands of international students and professionals to achieve the English level required to join their chosen programme or build up their skills. We can help you prepare for successful study at SKEMA Business School.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Our intensive Language Prep Course (30 hours per week) is suitable for students planning to study a Bachelor or MSc programme at SKEMA Business School.

The development of all key language skills and elements such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation and vocabulary allows you to communicate accurately and effectively in the academic world and beyond.

You practise conversation and other speaking skills using practical, real-world English. You learn to write with accuracy and effectiveness, develop strategic listening skills and improve your use of grammar.

Our skills classes target the academic skills you need to succeed in higher education, such as note-taking, speech and debate and presentation skills, and you can work on your individual language skills and objectives as well with our e-learning platform. Our experienced teachers are all native speakers and are available to give you personalised guidance to ensure that you progress as quickly as possible.

The Language Prep Course is therefore designed, not only to help you achieve SKEMA’s English language entry requirements, but also to give you the necessary skills to succeed in your studies at SKEMA.

TIMETABLE

Our Language Prep Course is a full-time programme of study. Classes begin at 9am Monday – Friday. Classes continue until 4.30pm Monday – Thursday and finish at 1pm on Fridays.

ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS

You will be tested on the first day of your programme and will meet with the course coordinator to discuss and plan your roadmap. If you do not know your current English level, we can arrange a pre-arrival test to evaluate how many classes you will need to reach the English language requirements of your chosen SKEMA programme.

Our final course report will act as proof of English language proficiency and you will not in this case need to take IELTS, TOEFL or TOEIC exams, but those who want to sit for an official exam can take TOEIC.

Completion of the following levels will ensure that you meet SKEMA’s English language entry requirements:

Bachelor programmes: no requirement for year 1 or 2, 70 to 80 points on TOEFL IBT for year 3, or level 6 IELTS, or B2

Two-year MSc programmes: TOEFL IBT 83 points, or IELTS 6, or TOEIC 800 points, or B2+

One-year MSc programmes: TOEFL IBT 92 points, or IELTS 6.5, or TOEIC 830 points, or C1

WHEN DOES THE LANGUAGE PREP COURSE START?

Our programme is a flexible blended learning course, available year-round and can start any time.

HOW MUCH DOES THE LANGUAGE PREP COURSE COST?

€450 a week / accommodation not included.For accommodation options: www.skema.edu/campus/sophia-antipolis/housing-services

NON-EU STUDENTS REQUIRING A FRENCH STUDENT VISA

If you are a non-EU student and wish to do our Language Prep Course before your studies at SKEMA, you must apply first to SKEMA admissions. Once you have obtained your registration certificate, you can contact us for the Language Prep Course. Upon receipt of full payment, we will issue the required visa invitation letter so you can begin the visa application process.
