No Fixed Class Times

Life doesn’t always fit neatly into a timetable. This MBA does not require online presence at specific times and dates. You will learn asynchronously, accessing lectures, readings, and discussions when they suit your schedule—even if your availability shifts week to week.

This autonomy respects your professional and personal commitments, enabling you to study early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or in the evening—whenever you do your best thinking. It’s academic excellence designed around your real life in France.

Learn Anywhere — Even On The Move

Freedom is built into the experience. You can study from anywhere in the world, even while on the move or while travelling through our mobile app which allows you to download the study material and watch the lectures offline. Whether you are commuting across Île-de-France, heading to meetings in Lyon or Marseille, or travelling internationally, your classroom travels with you.

This flexibility keeps your progress steady and consistent. With resources at your fingertips, you can engage deeply with content, collaborate thoughtfully with peers, and never lose momentum—no matter where your work takes you.

Open‑Book Assessments, Real‑World Thinking

Instead of classical question/answer exams, you will work through open-book assessments that mirror real leadership challenges. This approach rewards critical thinking, strategic analysis, and evidence-based decision-making rather than memorisation.

Open-book assessments allow you to use the same research, frameworks, and tools you would consult as a leader in practice. You will build the habit of designing solutions, substantiating recommendations, and communicating insights with clarity and impact.

Learn From Globally Educated Faculty

Benefit from tutors and faculty who graduated from world-renowned universities like Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their international training and diverse leadership experience bring a distinctive richness to your learning.
