Introduction
This program has been designed to equip you with the expertise to succeed in the face of new and emerging challenges. Through its transdisciplinary approach, you’ll develop key leadership skills and a deep understanding of how a sustainable approach to business can offer new opportunities for organizations. The unique international nature of this MSc will also inspire you to take a global perspective on sustainability and what it actually means in business practice across a range of cultures.
The International Business School Alliance (IBSA) dual Masters Programme option is an exciting opportunity to study at two internationally renowned institutions in different countries.
An MSc in International and Sustainable Management from ESSCA School of Management, France.
Another specialist Master’s degree from a choice of 5 partner university members of the Alliance in Spain, Germany, Russia, the UK, or the USA.
If you opt for the IBSA dual Masters track, in the space of just one year you’ll study for two Master’s degree qualifications whilst developing expert skills and knowledge in your chosen area of specialization and building up an international network of contacts. Both courses are taught in English, but you’ll also have opportunities to develop your proficiency in the language of the host countries whilst improving your cross-cultural skills.
Why ESSCA – MSc International and Sustainable Management
"The challenges faced by business organizations worldwide concerning Corporate Social Responsibility are vast. The turmoil we have experienced over the past few years, from both an environmental and societal perspective, should serve to encourage companies to accelerate their CSR initiatives: from issues related to global warming, the protection of biodiversity and natural resources, to the impact of the digital revolution and rising inequalities..., there is much work to be done. It is by training and accompanying the next generation of managers to face these issues and by equipping them with the right skills, understanding, and resources that they will be able to make a positive impact on the organizations they work in". Véronique Lebreton, CSR and Banking Inclusion Manager, Fédération Nationale du Crédit Agricole
