Overview
After earning a Master’s degree in science, an engineering degree, or an equivalent qualification, you may wish to gain dual expertise in the field of business management. The IAE in Montpellier offers the MAE program through either the Initial or Continuing Education tracks.
The first year of the master's program consists of two semesters. The first semester covers the core curriculum. Students choose their specialization in the second semester.
The Master 2 program runs from late September through late March. It is followed by a 6-month internship, from April through September.
The full-time program is divided into three phases: acquisition of foundational knowledge (3 months), career-oriented specialization (3 months), and internship (6 months).
The internship, which is aligned with the specialization, serves as a true springboard into the workforce. It allows students to apply their academic knowledge in practice and often leads to a fixed-term or permanent contract.
This degree program is also available on a part-time basis (over 2 years) as part of continuing education.
