Since 2017, the GEAI Master's Degree takes place in 2 years. Students who join the GEAI course in Master 1 and will be able to continue in Master 2, without further selection, as long as they validate their Master 1. A gap year is recommended, but not compulsory, between the first and the second year.

Students who completed a 4-year curriculum after high school graduation (240 ECTS) will also be allowed to join in second year directly. - Number of ECTS upon graduation: 120 
- Level of diploma validated upon graduation: Master’s degree + French “grade de master” - Master 1: classes from early September to May - Master 2: classes from early September to end of January

The courses taken by the students are common with the courses of the Strategic Management Mention (with some elective courses to choose from, some courses being recommended at the beginning of the year to GEAI students).

Between the Master 1 and Master 2 GEAI, it is strongly recommended that students take a year off. In addition, students enrolled in the GEAI programme can carry out an Erasmus exchange in Master 1 or Master 2.

You can download the presentation brochure of the Master 1 in French and English.

For the second year, classes take place from early September to end of January. Students then have to do an internship (usually 6 months) between February and November. The writing of a master thesis as well as an internship report are necessary conditions for graduation.

Lectures take place both at the historical Sorbonne campus (17 rue de la Sorbonne) and at the Panthéon campus (12 Place du Panthéon).

It is strongly recommended to take a standardized English test before applying (TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, Cambridge Exams, etc.) English proficiency requirements are not officially set but it is recommended to validate a strong B2 level at least (CECRL classification). Fluency in a language is usually certified with a C1 level. Candidates’ English proficiency may also be tested during the face-to-face interview selection phase.

A lot of lectures are in French, so we would recommend to have a good level of French (B2, C1) in order to follow the lectures. Moreover, the face-to-face interview will be mainly in French.

However, our teachers know when a student is a foreigner and will therefore be more forgiving during the final exams.
