Science and technology: NEOMA focuses on combining different skill sets

As the traditional boundaries between management, science and technology continue to blur, NEOMA Business School is convinced that tomorrow’s managers will require hybrid skills. In the near future, professionals will need to be able to read a line of code as easily as a financial dashboard, and grasp artificial intelligence as confidently as a growth strategy. NEOMA has recently announced a series of partnerships and initiatives that support this strategic goal. 

Double degrees designed to bring academic cultures together

How does it work in practice? NEOMA has teamed up with ESA Angers, France’s leading private agri-food and agricultural school, and IMT Mines Alès, a highly regarded engineering school, to create new double management and engineering degrees that bring these two worlds together through joint academic programmes.

The real bonus for students: on completing the programme, they graduate not only with two degrees — one from NEOMA and one from the engineering school — but also with a rare dual skill set that is highly valued by employers. 

Summer school at Stanford: in the heart of Silicon Valley

How does it work in practice? NEOMA offers its students the opportunity to attend a summer school at Stanford University, one of the world’s most influential institutions, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Students can choose from over 130 courses focusing on innovation, entrepreneurship and emerging technologies.

The real bonus for students: the summer school is far more than a study-abroad experience; it immerses participants in the ecosystem driving the global economy. Rubbing shoulders with researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and students from across the globe makes for a truly exceptional experience.

Partnership with Caltech: science at its very best

How does it work in practice? NEOMA has signed an exclusive partnership with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), one of the world’s most rigorous and prestigious scientific institutions, with links to no fewer than 39 Nobel Prizes. Every year, 15 students on the Master’s in Management programme will be selected to attend a bespoke summer school combining engineering, technology and major contemporary scientific challenges.

The real bonus for students: they build strong scientific foundations, learn to tackle complex problems with rigour, and leave with a rare ability: to communicate as peers with engineers and scientists — a key asset for managing technical teams or driving innovation projects.
