The Information systems and technologies management Specialized Master comprises 8 months of classes, in-company assignments and a 4- to 6-month placement, as well as writing and presenting a professional thesis.
The classes:
The in-company assignment:
During their course, students carry out an in-company consulting assignment alternating with their classes at HEC (from January to May). This assignment is presented to a panel comprising company managers and professors from the campus. It places students in a professional context from an early stage, requiring them to use their diagnosis, analytical and creative abilities, as well as to be organized and autonomous. The assignment is generally carried out in pairs, and therefore places the students in a teamwork environment.
The professional thesis, the culmination of the program:
The professional thesis is a study and research project. Its evaluation is an integral part of the Specialized Master. The level of co-ordination offered to students by both companies and professors is significantly higher than for traditional placements. It is essential in order to ensure the highest standards of quality of the work achieved.

Partnership:
HEC Paris and Paris Ecole des Mines have decided to join their training skills together to create and manage the Information system and technologies Management Specialized Master.
Paris École des Mines was founded in 1783 to train engineers for mining and metallurgy. It then grew to become a top-level general-purpose engineering school. Today, it studies, develops and teaches all the techniques of use to engineers.
