Presentation
The aim of the Information Systems and Management Control (ISMC) program is to train students to become management controllers. Professional integration takes the form of several in-company assignments/internships over the course of two years, enabling students to combine theoretical knowledge with practical problem-solving.
The course focuses both on the management dimension of the profession (steering) and on the information systems dimension, with practical experience of working with ERP systems (SAP) and Business Intelligence software (Business Object, Power BI, QlikSense).
Graduates of the Master in Information Systems and Management Control will have the expertise required to design and run Management Control Systems.
The M1 is divided into two semesters. The first semester is a common core with the other IAE courses. Specialization in SICG takes place in the second semester.
The M2 is a sandwich course, with a timetable adapted to academic and business requirements.
