"The Entrepreneurship and Business Development major is a true transition path to the professional world. We confront our students with contemporary geopolitical, economic, social and technological upheavals in a very practical way. In addition to the indispensable theoretical teachings, it is a matter of "getting your hands dirty"! The intervention of professionals throughout the year feeds the development of personal and collective concrete projects. We expect teachers, lecturers and students to work in a spirit of partnership rather than in a teacher/student dynamic. Quite a challenge! "
