Contents and structure

Considering its structure, the role of the program is threefold. Firstly, it includes a general approach of the economic environment through basic courses, secondly, it brings an introductory perspective to management, and thirdly it details some very specific management subjects presenting various and important aspects of operations within companies. The first three semesters offer a broad and general perspective over the business principles and provide orientation for the last three, dedicated mainly to management topics. The last three semesters include various management courses, all related to different relevant business activities. They offer a more specific approach to management and develop competencies to plan, organize, lead, and control management activities in various economic sectors.
