Description/content

The two-year programme MSc in Management – International Triple Degree is a three- or four-semester programme. It is a joint programme offered by Loyola University in New Orleans (USA), SKEMA Business School in Paris (France), and LMU Munich School of Management (Germany).

Students spend their first semester (August to December) at Loyola University in New Orleans (USA). There, they will acquire basic knowledge of various management subjects, such as financial reporting, managerial accounting, organisational behaviour and leadership, strategic marketing, managerial economics and statistics, and ethics and social justice.

Students spend their second semester (January to May) at the SKEMA campus in Paris, France. During this time, they will expand their knowledge by attending advanced courses in corporate finance, innovation and entrepreneurship, international project management, strategic stakeholder management, and supply chain management.

The third semester (May to October) takes place at the LMU Munich School of Management in Germany. Students can once again expect a wide range of different teaching units. They will pursue courses such as strategic communication, data-based decision making, competitive strategy, and financial risk management. In addition, they will work on a consulting project. 

Throughout the programme, the modules are supplemented by various career management offerings and guest lectures.

Upon completing the first three semesters, graduates will have earned the credits necessary to receive the MBA certificate from Loyola University New Orleans. Interested students can opt to write a Master's thesis during the fourth and final semester at the location of their choice. By doing so, they will additionally receive the Diplôme Grande École from SKEMA Business School Paris and the Master of Science in Business Administration from LMU Munich.

The programme is divided into three or four semesters. Within the first three semesters, students can earn a total of 90 ECTS (45 United States credits), receiving 30 ECTS (15 United States credits) each semester. Upon receiving these credits, graduates will obtain an MBA certificate from Loyola University New Orleans.
