School of Management and Impact

"Companies have all gone through, or are currently going through, their digital transition and the platform economy has revolutionised our daily activities. Communication, marketing, finance, strategy, human resources and so on can no longer be understood and managed without a thorough knowledge of the methods and techniques specific to digital technology. Consequently, all the Master’s programmes at the School of Management and Impact, which are highly professionally-focused, include in-depth study of the digital tools specific to each discipline and sector of activity. 

A compulsory “data & digital technology” course (60 hours) common to all Master’s programmes consolidates this sector-based learning. It enables students to put the role of data into perspective, but also to use the social sciences to develop a deep understanding of and a critical approach to the societal, ethical, legal, strategic, and economic issues of the digital world. Students also acquire the tools (from basic to advanced) to develop autonomy in using digital technology, to “speak data” as a digital expert, and to master the fundamental logical and quantitative elements of data and digital technology."
