Our student years are often considered to be the best years of our life, yet young people have been hit hard by the health crisis in 2020-2021. EM Normandie has therefore gone the extra mile to promise a warm and friendly start to the new academic year focusing on what matters most: getting together, interaction, good spirit and kindness and giving everyone a role to play, as students rediscover their zest for learning and being part of a tight-knit community. Fun-filled Welcome Weeks, with academic undertones, are set to go ahead for ALL students on the Caen, Le Havre, Paris, Oxford and Dublin campuses. In a School that is attracting an ever-increasing number of learners, the teams have so many exciting ideas in mind for welcoming students.

Old School, Young Mind. At 150 years old, EM Normandie is still constantly developing its pedagogy to enhance students’ behavioural skills and aptitudes and meet business needs. From the beginning of the academic year in September 2021, new tailored courses will be offered as part of the Master’s in Management, making graduates even more attractive to employers. Students will benefit from around 200 hours of “Information and Technology Management” lessons, have the option of doing their whole course in English from first-year on the Paris campus (in addition to Caen and Oxford where this is already possible), and will have a wider choice of electives. At Master’s level, they will be able to study for six months to two years on the Dublin campus or take the new work-study programme option in English in Paris. There will be more international destinations to choose from when planning to study abroad at partner universities, and students may opt for one of the two new M2 year specialisms or study for a Master’s in Management/MSc double degree.

EM Normandie will launch its Master's in Management (Programme Grande École)/MSc double degree from September 2021, building on the links between the two programmes. By adding a specialism to their general learning, the double degree enables students to stand out in international circles. Acclaimed by international business, the qualification combines French excellence (Master’s in Management) with global standards (MSc). This unique window into new opportunities joins the list of dual skills courses which the Business School offers on its five campuses.

Prevention, safety and innovation set the tone for the new academic year at EM Normandie where students began learning “phygital” style on Monday 14 September. Recently built on its new campus in Le Havre, its “flagship” on the Le Havre campus in Normandy, the school is also revealing a new performance-based structure.

From the beginning of the academic year in September 2020, EM Normandie Business School is making changes to its Master in Management. The system focuses primarily on the learning experience, a unique approach which means that students are in control and are able to continuously test, shape and share their learning. The Business School is pushing the boundaries to include new disciplines, better international opportunities and improved professional development projects. These additions combined with its resolutely innovative, bold and digital teaching methods boost the School’s ability to train responsible, committed and independent managers capable of moulding their own futures.
