Course Portfolio


At the end of this program you will develop your skills in :

  • Acquire, through action, the tools and methods to explore, identify and validate valuable and sustainable business opportunities as well as recover from crisis.
  • Acquire, through seminars and by being embedded in real situations, soft skills and entrepreneurial leadership and mindset to develop and build a team and navigate uncertainty 
  • Build a team and develop a project, or take over an existing one, and apply to it the methods and skills acquired. 
  • Discover and analyze French and international entrepreneurial ecosystems through visits, LEX and conferences
  • Quizzes, exercices
  • Case studies
  • Business games and role-playing games
  • Action projects
  • Professional immersions
  • A master's thesis (research paper)

In this phase you will master the key approaches to entrepreneurship through the practice-based classes taught for each mission: “Start-up” followed by “Restructuring”, alongside 5 seminars. You will also deepen your knowledge in a particular field (Retail, Hospitality, Health, Neurosciences, Fintech, Energy, etc.) and a particular technology (Blockchain, Digital, AI, etc.). Throughout this period, you will receive expert advice during two juries in order to help you define your start-up project.

Students will finish refining the ideas for their start-up and get to know the entrepreneurial journey of some alumni of the program during the first week of January during our emblematic Jura 2 seminar.

For the next three months, each team will work on their project in Paris or overseas, either in the US ‘Learn 2 Launch’ at UC Berkeley, or at Singapore Management University. Aside from immersing yourself in campus life, you will receive mentorship from professors who will help you develop your start-up project and discover a new entrepreneurial environment.

Following this three-month stint, you will embark on a study trip, where you will meet the founders of various start-ups and gain a clearer vision of your own entrepreneurial projects.
 

In this phase you will pursue your personal project. Either by developing the project started during Phase 2 (‘Test’) or by doing an internship as the right hand of an entrepreneur.

You will have the opportunity to acquire more soft skills such as leadership during the seminar at École Navale (The French Naval Academy).

In order to graduate, you also have to write and defend a thesis on a subject of your choice, but preferably a reflection on the different phases of the master.
