In-company assignment:
During their course, students carry out an in-company consulting assignment alternating with their courses at HEC (from october to december). 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 team-work environment.
Examples of assignments:
- Market study on business development in China
- Market study on business development in Russia
- Study into setting up an operational marketing department dedicated to international markets
- Study into setting up a business unit
- Competition study
- How to improve cross-border exchanges with Belgium
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 Masters. The level of coordination 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 work achieved.
Examples of subjects:
- Opensource: risks and stakes for companies
- uditing and risks of intangible assets in retail banking
- Market indices: a new force for developing climate derivatives
