Our degrees

Management is the strategic piloting of collective action within an organisation. It covers the full range of processes (planning, distribution of tasks, leadership and oversight) used to ensure objectives are met. Management covers all parts of an organisation, from human resources, administration and finance to production and development. Good management aims to effectively and responsibly manage resources.

In today’s context of global economic growth, the tourism and leisure sector is both highly dynamic and increasingly segmented, requiring professionals to develop ever more personalised products that respond to growing demand for responsible tourism and collaborative consumption. If they are to meet the expectations of an increasingly demanding clientele, professionals in the sector must have excellent customer service skills, speak several languages, adapt quickly and be able to manage unexpected situations.

We are living in an age of digital technology and social media in which data management is of great importance for the numerous professional sectors that are undergoing technological, economic and social change. Companies need staff who can keep them up to date with the latest technological developments – staff who are flexible, creative, lively, rigorous and possess both excellent people skills and the ability to work well with numbers.

Transport, logistics and quality assurance are key sectors within organisations, ensuring optimal coordination of supply and demand. The key goals are optimised flow of products, materials and information, fluid administrative, organisational and management processes and cost reduction. New technology and a shift to project-based functioning have had a profound impact on jobs in these sectors, which require both technical and interpersonal skills.

A key economic actor, the financial sector is highly dynamic and adaptable. Banking, insurance and real estate offer numerous front, middle and back office opportunities with excellent prospects. Staff in these sectors must be versatile and possess highly specific technical skills. In today’s increasingly globalised economy, international skills are also a must.

Design, construction, creation and renovation are key concepts in these sectors that combine technical skills and creativity. In years to come, jobs are likely to be plentiful in the construction and interior decoration industries, and particularly in renovation. From project management to engineering, urban planning and land use roles are strategic in nature and require excellent technical skills.

Sustainable development covers environmental, social and societal factors, focusing on the promotion of a balanced world economy. Natural resources, the environmental impact of human activity, the movement of goods and people and natural and reactive behavioural changes are all important issues in this approach that emphasises solidarity between and within different parts of the world. Organisations engaged in the sector use coordinated, innovative practices to further sustainable, responsible progress that respects diversity.

New technology has transformed how we live in the contemporary world. Organisations are increasingly putting interconnected digital platforms, open sources solutions, cloud computing and mobile technology at the heart of their activities. Employers need staff possessing digital and technological skills who can adapt to new business challenges and changing social relations and effectively apply IT expertise to functional, human, financial and administrative projects.

Jobs in creative arts, culture, luxury and artisanship require real creative passion. Artists, artisans and designers combine artistic talent and technical skills in a range of areas, from theatre, fashion and design to advertising and the digital arts. Actors in these sectors require excellent general knowledge along with sound interpersonal and organisational skills, allowing them to coordinate projects by drawing on administrative, marketing and legal knowledge to promote and sustain the creative arts and heritage. For these creative professionals, technical know-how must be combined with powerful innovation to successfully achieve cultural and creative goals.

The health and wellbeing sector is fast growing and offers a diverse range of opportunities. The goal is to take care of others and oneself – be it through sport, health, society or education –, leading not only to personal development but also to the construction of a society that cares for its citizens. For many professionals a career in this sector is not ‘just a job’ but also a lifestyle choice. Careers in health, wellbeing, society and education requiring a mixture of technical skills and knowledge as well as strong values and commitment to helping others.

Organisations, businesses, public institutions, charities and NGOs seek reliable staff with strong ethics. Those wishing to fight for human rights, democracy and the rule of law need solid managerial skills as well as excellent general knowledge. They must also be versatile and have a genuine passion for their work. Implicated in social and political issues and decisions, they act for the general good so as to guarantee the security and freedom of physical and legal persons.

Agriculture and farming are essential in managing our relationship with nature. They also have a major impact on the way our societies work at the political, economic and human levels. New technology has revolutionised the sector and, with increasing demand for animal wellbeing and responsible production, aspiring nature, farming and agriculture professionals must possess both specialist expertise and sound economic know-how, such as solid administrative, consulting and commercial strategy skills.
