Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Project Management



The master’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Project Management is a double degree program with Lumière Lyon 2 University (France). The main objective of the program is to give students the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully carry out an entrepreneurial project. It relies mainly on lecturers with a great entrepreneurial experience in order to transmit to students the methodological and conceptual tools as well as the good practices and relevant feedback to support them in all stages, from the formulation of an idea / concept to writing a business plan and developing their professional project. 

The program also places particular emphasis on the social and solidarity economy, the major of the master’s degree diploma granted by Lumière Lyon 2 University.

Graduates from the Master 2 EPM are awarded two official Master’s diplomas, respectively one from the University Lumiere Lyon 2 and one from RULE. This university is among the most prestigious institutions not only in France and Europe, but also in the world.
