Master's in Research and Management Studies (REM)
The Master's in Management Research and Studies provides students with a high-level education in management.
It prepares students for professional careers in the fields of management science study and research, either through placement in research firms specializing in business and organizational management or through integration into a university research team with a view to pursuing a Ph.D.
To earn this master’s degree, students must either pursue a dual master’s program concurrently or have already completed an M2. This is because the REM Master’s program awards only 30 ECTS credits, and the remaining 30 ECTS credits required for graduation are earned by completing the other M2 program—which is either being pursued concurrently or has already been completed—in management sciences or a program that includes significant coursework in this field.
