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.

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 professional dissertation: 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 ECTS credits per programme year, the level-7 Master of Science Management de Projet is awarded to participants.
