Master Management

The generalist first year and the two available tracks

The first year of the Master's in Management is built on a shared generalist core, giving every student a broad understanding of the firm's main functions. At the end of this first year, students have automatic access to two tracks: M2 Research or M2 Professional.

This generalist structure has two advantages. First, it provides a foundation transferable across a wide range of careers, without locking students into early specialization. Second, it builds soft management skills — decision-making under uncertainty, coordination, trade-off judgment, communication — which matter increasingly as AI automates the most codifiable technical tasks. As professions change rapidly, the ability to adapt rather than stay fixed in one role is a lasting advantage.

Administrative structure

Administrative arrangements for the master's differ by student nationality.

International students enroll in the DU Global Management, with tuition of €7,610 per year; on completion, they nonetheless earn a state-accredited Master's in Management, on equal footing with other graduates.

French students enroll directly in the Master's in Management and pay the tuition rates applicable to public institutions for EU-national students.

Please note: this program is taught entirely in English.

Research in Management 

The Research in Management track is for both French-speaking and non-French-speaking students aiming for a doctoral thesis or a career in higher education. The second semester focuses on building skills specific to each disciplinary sub-field — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, strategy — alongside writing a research dissertation. An optional internship is available, to protect the job prospects of students who ultimately don't continue to a PhD.

Global Management (Professional Track) 

The Global Management professional track offers, in the second semester, a specialization built around five teaching units:

  • Corporate Strategy — sharpen managerial decision-making through a deep understanding of market and competitive dynamics, and strengthen resource management and investment-needs assessment.
  • Finance — build financial analysis skills, manage company performance using key indicators, and evaluate investment projects.
  • Marketing — master the marketing approach at both strategic and operational levels, and support digital transformation.
  • Leadership and HR Management — strengthen team management, communication, and conflict-management skills.
  • Project, Innovation, Change, Data & CSR Management — leverage digital transformation and data for decision-making, design innovative initiatives, and integrate corporate social responsibility.

This track includes a mandatory internship of at least four months.

    The tuition fee covers 60 credits of courses in the Fall and the Spring semesters, which corresponds to what is required per year in the Bologna system.

    Some outstanding students who obtain the Eiffel Scholarship (French Government Scholarship) can obtain a partial exemption up to 1000 euros/year. You must submit your application during the early application period and be awarded the Eiffel Scholarship to benefit.

  • Deadlines

    Up to 20 international students can be accepted in this programme, as well as 5 French students.

The admission committee will decide if your background is sufficient for the Management Program. All those fitting this description who have additionally achieved a high standing from their university are encouraged to apply.
