Planed activities are meant to expose students to research methodology courses which will develop their research skills, as well as courses offering them deep knowledge in the field of accounting, finance and statistics. The business-oriented track prepares students to undertake top positions in multinational corporations, auditing firms, consulting firms and financial institutions.

The business-oriented track is designed to develop an advanced level of knowledge in the area of financial reporting, financial analysis and fiscal systems which will facilitate students’ access to the status of certified accountant in accordance to CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accounting) and ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).

International perspectives


Developing the program’s curriculum was done with advice from professors associated with the Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, London Business School, and ESSEC Business School Paris. Thus, students can benefit of teaching activities and research guidance from internationally renowned academics from top European and American universities. As the program is organized in partnership with an American University, students can therefore benefit of a one semester mobility at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as of other Erasmus+ student mobility.
