Overall
Les cours en Master sont très intéressants, les cours se donnent en anglais et grâce à ma majeure (Business International) j'ai eu des cours orientés à l'international notamment du marketing international, de la finance entrepreneuriale mais aussi des discussions sur les nouveaux modèles économiques etc..
Les professeurs sont généralement passionnés et donnent l'envie d'apprendre et d'étudier.
