Students are in direct contact with our partner companies through company seminars, industrial site visits and inter-company round tables.

· provide solutions and systems that integrate the skills learned in the programme.

Each student will have to defend his or her thesis, based on both academic and field experiences. They will be mentored by a professor from one of the two partner schools. This professor will help them choose the right topic and provide a solid methodology.
They will then defend their work in front of a jury composed of the thesis director (professor) and one of the academic directors. The jury will
represent both schools to deliver the degree.
During this time, students will also participate in a mandatory Research Seminar held by a ESCP professor.
