SKEMA Business School

What you'll study

The programme runs across two semesters. In the fall term students on both campuses develop three core competencies:

• Business consulting: project management, consulting tools, critical thinking and applied research methods delivered by senior executives from firms such as EY, CapGemini, Accenture, Deloitte, Roland Berger and others.
• Business acumen: strategic environment analysis, business model and process alignment, organisational and digital transformation, optimisation techniques, globalisation and sustainability perspectives taught by SKEMA academic staff.
• Decision intelligence: application of AI and machine learning, data fusion, visualization and collaboration tools to support and augment managerial decisions; taught by decision intelligence specialists.

In the spring semester students select one of three specialisation tracks (one track only):

• Digital Sustainability Consulting (Campus Sophia Antipolis): foundations of sustainability and digital transformation, ESG reporting and audits, supply‑chain decarbonisation, energy transition and technology transformation; plus modern digital technologies for operational optimisation and new revenue sources. (Note: last intake at Sophia Antipolis in Fall 2026.)
• Business Intelligence Consulting (Campus Paris): linking data to decisions with courses in data science and financial intelligence to design KPIs and detect market trends that inform management choices.
• Sécurité Économique (Campus Paris, in French): delivered at the École Militaire de Paris by IHEMI, combining instruction from former CEOs, generals, police officers and consultants on new risks, economic security, web3/OSINT and crisis management.

Research exposure: students complete a master thesis to apply academic research methods and deepen expertise in a chosen area.
