Introduction
The Master in Grande École Programme is taught entirely in English.
The programme consists of two cycles: the first 3 years cycle is committed to learning the fundamentals, followed by the second 2 years cycle which is dedicated to specialisation. All teaching in this programme is given in English, so a very good level of English is required for the course.
This course offers many international opportunities, for example, at the end of the first year, all students have the opportunity to attend a 2 weeks summer session at the UCR Extension in the US or at McGill School in Canada. Additionally, the Grande École Programme also allows students to obtain a dual degree with one of our partner universities in Britain, America, Asia or Russia.
