STUDY CASE

Focusing on cutting-edge technologies that are constantly renewed in the world of the supply chain: AI, machine learning, deep learning, blockchain, IoT, cloud computing, RVA, 3D simulations, robotisation, etc., those technologies contribute to build a solid base for our Apprentices with the aim of supporting companies in digital transformation projects.

HACKATHON – 48H CHRONO

In collaboration with International Financial Analysis students and with the support of Accelerator Mobility of NEOMA BS, this hackathon enable participants to tackle the logistical, technological and financial issues and challenges of digital transformation in the supply chain sector. This challenge enlists many companies alongside the students and aims to deploy the knowledge and skills acquired during the course. This challenge takes place both face-to-face on the Parid campus and online with collaborative work tools.

Masters dissertation

The Masters dissertation is a project whose purpose is to identify an issue important to companies and respond to it by using a conceptual approach and empirical research. This project must lead to practical recommendations for companies. Its additional purpose is to help students acquire technical expertise while also developing important soft skills for the job market: critical thinking, complex problem resolution, etc.

Evaluation procedures

The programme is recognised through a dual validation:

• Ongoing assessment: evaluations conducted throughout the length of the programme in the form of individual or collective reports to be submitted
• Professional thesis: submission of a written document and an oral defence before a jury made up of an academic tutor and a company tutor

At the end of the programme and after a validation of the ongoing assessment & professional thesis, the RNCP level-7 is awarded to participants. If some modules were not validated and thus no credits were earned, the programme participant can redo the evaluation during a period set up for this purpose.

The part-time format allows you to remain at your company and promotes your entry and development in the professional world
