MBA Change & Innovation

(formerly "MBA Change & Technology")

The IAE Aix-en-Provence Graduate School of Management is committed to offering a quality, international educational experience for its participants. The institute has continually sought to deliver a unique and challenging curriculum that is internationally recognized for its excellence in pedagogical innovation.

The Institute obtained the European label EQUIS in 1999.  This international strategic audit and European accreditation system is organised by the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) in compliance with international educational standards.  This accreditation places IAE Aix-en-Provence as a centre of excellence on the international market of higher management education institutions. As such, it provides students, companies and all international partners with a clear signal of quality and excellence.

 

In 2004, the IAE Aix MBA Change & Innovation (named "Change & Technology" then) was awarded AMBA accreditation by the Association of MBAs, and became the first and only MBA programme within the French public university system to receive this unique distinction.

Stringent guidelines are set forth by the Association of MBAs reflecting a programme’s content, structure, internationalism, and connection to industry. The MBA Change & Innovation has consistently demonstrated solid results since its creation in 2000, and has effectively trained young executives to assume positions of international business leadership.  

The programme’s strong link to industry, innovative pedagogy, and business and consulting projects prepares participants for the challenges of tomorrow. The success of this formula was recently demonstrated in the full, unconditional 5-year renewal of AMBA accreditation for the MBA programme in November, 2006.

The IAE Aix is pleased to offer MBA participants a challenging, multicultural programme, grounded in standards of academic excellence.
