Our Master of Science (MSc) Programs at Paris School of Business
Paris School of Business MSc programs provide a high-quality, internationally oriented education designed to develop experts capable of thriving in complex, multicultural environments.
Taught entirely in English and offered as one- or two-year programs, they enable students to acquire advanced skills in management, finance, marketing, and data, while building strong analytical abilities and adaptability to global challenges.
At the heart of these programs is the Diplôme d’Études Spécialisées en Management International (DESMI), a state-recognized Master’s-level qualification (Level 7), certifying a high level of academic and professional expertise (subject to the decision of the MESR, expected in May).
The DESMI is built on a career-focused approach that combines advanced academic coursework, applied projects (consulting assignments, business games, capstone projects), and professional experience, preparing graduates for international careers.
The MSc specializations leading to the DESMI are as follows
