Objectives of the programme

The Master MAE Applied Corporate Management offered by the IAE NANCY School of Management in continuing education with the Luxembourg Lifelong Learning Centre is a high-level program in business and management sciences, both theoretical and applied.

The program aims at being an opportunity for students or managers to complete the expertise they have already acquired in other academic fields, or through their professional practice, by a complete curriculum in management. It thus enables them to broaden their opportunities and their polyvalence by reinforcing their transversal skills in order to face the challenges of businesses in a globalized world.

This programme offers:

  • A general degree in management with a process-oriented approach to organizations.
  • Courses that tackle contemporary international issues that organizations face.
  • Acquisition of knowledge to develop new managerial skills or to strengthen them for the purpose of career development.

Graduates of the MAE Applied Corporate Management program will be prepared to assume positions of increasing responsibility in environments where a cross organizational view is required or where a dual role, including management, is required from executives or experts.

Candidates will be taught how to manage cross-functional management processes, carry out organizational changes and shape the business strategy of an organization.
After completing the program, graduates will be able to redefine organizational processes as well as roles and structures that are consistent with the chosen business strategy.

Candidates will also learn how to manage people and projects in global and multicultural contexts, with an emphasis on collaborative cross functional processes rather than a siloed functional approach.
