Master in Management information

This degree is integrated into the MIM program at CNAM-IIM.

MIM is short for the Master in Management program, which is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in business and management mainly in private sectors. It provides a solid foundation in the range of management disciplines and is distinguished from more specialized Masters by its breadth.

MIM is the French National Master’s Degree.

The Master in Management program is built under the standardized European System of higher education (Bologna process). MIM students are committed, accompanied and challenged to achieve their Professional Master Degree delivered by the French Ministry of Higher Education.

MIM is under an international scope and standards.

The Master in Management program is taught in English. International students also get French lessons, which gives them a competitive advantage over multiple languages and management skills. MIM students from around the world gather in Paris, sharing different cultures and business customs, learning knowledge and experiences from recognized professionals from different industries and different economic regions and academics from various disciplines.

MIM is the ongoing development of international management competencies.

The Master in Management program enables students to:

1. Master the principles and tools developed for managers of business units provided in up-to-date management issues in the real business environment with Core curriculum (M1) and Transversalmodules (M2);
2. Build a concrete view of the working environment, especially in the specific European business with Supporting modules (M2)
3. 3 - Represent the management of focused business activities as an action which includes four complementary elements: functional management, time management, organizational management, daily management with Specialization modules (M2);
4. Master and experience the strategic principles and tools towards high performance and innovations with Group projects, Research, and Internships (M2);
5. Achieve intercultural and additional competencies relying on students’ original degree in sciences or engineering or students’ intercultural experience and engagement.

The CNAM MIM program is spread out over the course of two orientation weeks, a core curriculum, and a major over two years. Courses are organized into two semesters per academic year, with a range from 2 to 8 credits for each class, depending on their importance and duration. The full amount of credits can be over 60 ECTS credits per year. The first year must include the six core curriculum courses, an integrative group project, and an academic report, with 550 contact hours. The second year is dedicated to majors, electives, and internship, with around 450 contact hours and 900 hours of overall workload.

The Master in Management Program uses a core curriculum to familiarize students with the fundamental principles of management. Our baseline courses included Organizational Theory, Management Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, and Marketing and Management of the Firm. These principles form the foundation of more advanced topics and elective courses.

• M21 - Project Management and Business Engineering
