Overview
The Master’s in Business Engineering in Information Technology (IATI) offers a dual skill set that combines expertise in information technology with business management in a corporate setting. The program’s objective is to train business engineers specializing in the Information Technology (IT) sector.
This specialization addresses a specific need among companies seeking high-level B2B sales professionals who can understand the challenges faced by client companies, negotiate with senior executives, and respond to requests for proposals.
Professional integration takes the form of a project and an internship that allow students to combine theoretical knowledge with the resolution of a practical problem during the M1 and M2 semesters.
The Master’s in Business Engineering in Information Technology (IATI) is a two-year program consisting of four semesters, from S1 through S4. The M1 consists of two semesters.
The first semester covers a core curriculum focused on acquiring management knowledge, while the second semester introduces students to specialization.
Semesters 3 and 4 are part of the M2. Between February and June, some of the second-semester courses are held on campus in partnership with the Grande École program at Montpellier Business School.
To enhance the program’s international focus and career readiness, some M2 courses are taught in English.
