Join TEMA: a programme where innovation meets action.

In the era of the digital revolution, TEMA is an innovative 5-year course to train managers in multiple skills: to be agile in a digital environment, creative, open to the world and imbued with the spirit of enterprise. All these skills are sought after by businesses as the economy undergoes digitisation.

TEMA was created as a pioneering programme in 1999, and for over 20 years it has built up its experience around two fundamental ideas:

  • Teaching that combines management, tech/digital and creativity
  • The innovative teaching method of learning by doing, favouring practical work and team projects

Joining TEMA means opting for a personalised pathway with many experiences in France or abroad (six month’s immersion in digital or design, internships/apprenticeship, double degrees, etc.) according to your ambitions and your professional aspirations.

At the end of the course, your hybrid skills will be very sought after to manage the digital transformation and develop innovation in organisations, two major issues they will have to deal with over the long term. You may work in major international groups or in start-ups, or even create your own business.

Do you want to have a future-oriented profession? Then come to TEMA!

Skill sets

After earning your degree, you will have mastered the key TEMA skills to create, manage and oversee the development of innovative and digital projects, either for your company or for customers in a consulting capacity.

These skills are based on 4 objectives:

  • Developing and steering innovation
  • Managing technological and digital projects in information systems
  • Managing and coordinating international, multidisciplinary project teams
  • A disruptive marketing specialisation: developing and implementing innovative and disruptive marketing strategies
  • Or a digital transformation specialisation: developing and implementing the digital transformation for organisations

The skills blocks of the certification may not be acquired separately. The proposed curriculum covers all skills blocks.

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,

A final evaluation: performed at the end of the course, it can be done under different forms – it is, for the most part, individual

At the end of the programme and after a validation of ECTS credits per programme year, the level 7 of TEMA (Tech & Management) 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.
