Economics and management of organizations

The UEs that make up the course are linked to five major blocks that structure all the teaching:

Subject-focused courses: these are designed to help students acquire and reinforce the fundamentals of their subject and prepare for competitive examinations. There are two types of UE: those that apply to all students in the specialization, whatever their chosen option (UE general economics, law, management), and those that depend on the option or specialization being prepared.

Disciplinary didactics courses: these are designed to help students acquire scientific knowledge and professional skills in the economics and management specialization, in one of the specialization's options and branches (technological or vocational). As with the subject content units, some of these units bring together, partially or totally, the students of the course by stream and/or option. The main aim of this block of courses is to familiarize students with the different teaching streams and their career opportunities, to master the corresponding reference frameworks and curricula, and to discover and use the teaching approaches and tools specific to economics and management, so as to be able to design and implement a teaching program in economics and management.

Professional culture and practice units: these are designed to provide knowledge of the education system, discover and master the fundamentals of the teaching profession, acquire cross-disciplinary teaching skills, support entry into the profession through analysis of professional practices, and acquire knowledge and methods specific to the UF8 courses.

Research courses: linked to the content and didactics courses, these are designed to introduce students to the vocabulary, themes, work and methods of research in education and management. The aim is not to train students for research, but through research, and to make students aware of the different issues and approaches in education and management sciences. In the context of the professional dissertation, research is used as a foundation, a framework and a methodology for reflection, observation, analysis of practices and experimentation.

Modern foreign language courses: These courses are offered in the first and second semesters of Master 1.

Competitive examinations prepared within the course

Preparation for public competitive examinations and the training of future teachers of economics and management occupy a central place in the Master's program. The examinations prepared for in the second year of the Master's program are those for the CAPET and CAPLP external examinations in Economics and Management, in the options below.

CAPET Economics and Management, options

• A: Communication, organization and HRM
• B: Accounting, finance
• C: Marketing

CAPLP Economics and Management, options

• GA: Gestion administrative (to be replaced by AGORA: Assistance à la gestion des organisations et leurs activités)
• C: Commerce and sales

Each academic year, the opening of options within the program depends on whether they are open or not, and on the number of students enrolled in the program.

As a result, part of the training is organized by branch (lycée technologique / lycée professionnel) and/or by option.

The course is aimed at students and professionals in management, economics or law who hold an L3 degree (Licence AES, Licence Sciences de Gestion, Licence Sciences Economiques, Diplôme de Comptabilité et de Gestion, Licence en Droit, Ecoles de Commerce, or any other degree, including professional ones, in these fields).

It is also open to contract or part-time economics and management teachers. The training program will continue to be open to professionals from the business world (employees, former employees, managers, company directors, etc.), as has been the case with many previous training programs (Caplp in particular).

Students and professionals (teaching and business) who do not hold an L3 or M1 level diploma, and who can justify this level through their professional experience (business or teaching), can benefit from validation of prior learning, and equivalences, granted on a case-by-case basis, through VAP (Validation des Acquis Professionnels). In some cases, teaching exemptions may be granted through the VAP process, depending on previous experience (contract and part-time teachers in particular).

Access requirements by diploma level

• L3 (180 ECTS) : Recruitment is based on a review of the applicant's file (CV, cover letter and transcripts) and a motivational interview.
• M1 (240 ECTS) : Students are recruited directly into M2 on the basis of their academic record and professional project.
