OBJECTIVE

The M1-EBA program explicitly targets students from different academic backgrounds to give them a firm grasp of management's broad-based fundamentals. It also aims to prepare students to build a solid, broad foundation of general management concepts and skills across all the essential business disciplines, focusing on Corporate Finance.

All courses are taught in English by a team of European & international professors, using the flipped classroom methodology.

By completing this program, students will gain the necessary skills and groundwork to enter either the second-year Master's program in Business Administration (M2-MBA) or in International Business Management (M2-IBM) at IAE Bordeaux University, as well as other second-year Master's programs in management in France.

DURATION AND CONTENT OF THE PROGRAM

The M1-EBA is the first year of a 2-year Master’s degree prgram. It is not a complete Master's program, which means upon completion of this program, students will receive an official "Certificate of Achievement", not a Master's degree diploma.
