Teaching Methods

We propose an interactive learning method based essentially on a case study approach. Professors on this program have been specifically selected from ESC Pau and our international partner institutions in the USA, Sweden for their dynamic teaching, multicultural background and expertise in the latest business topics.  

The cohort is undeniably international, typically bringing together 30 students from Europe, Canada, India, Mexico, the Philippines and the United States.  The small number of students guarantees individual attention from Faculty and the international mix means that IMP students are constantly learning from each other, giving new perspectives to their ideas and broadening their horizons.

Prerequisites

For the IMP programme in the Fall Semester, students should already have completed a suitable finance module in their home institution.  For further details, please contact our programme coordinator, gaelle.sancerne@esc-pau.fr.
