Students wishing to continue to the M2 must qualify by reaching certain performance standards during the M1.
M2 Development Economics and International Project Management
The programs objectives are to train professionals taking part in economic analysis, public policy and aid programs for developing or emerging countries. Students are equipped to enter economic or development research positions and various roles in the public or private sector dealing with economics. Training is organised in close collaboration with consulting enterprises. Teaching staff comprises both high level academics and professionals from the consulting business, as well as economic experts in the field of development, including those working with the world’s leading international organisations (OECD, IMF, World Bank, European Union, Agency of French Development, etc). Students must complete a 4-6 month internship, or in some cases a research thesis, from April to September in order to complete the master’s.
