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.
