Audencia Business School to offer a joint degree in management of information technologies.Teaching philosophy
Albeit it offers a rather typical education for an engineering school, the EMN strives to give its graduate a practical, pragmatic approach of the technical and business skills it teaches. This philosophy, is illustrated by programs such as the Apprentissage Par l'Action ("Learning through interaction"), a case-based approach of sciences, that places students in front of industry-inspired puzzles and develops students analytic skills and intellectual curiosity. The EMN is also a partner of "La main à la pâte" ("hands in the dough"), an innovative initiative to teach sciences in primary courses supported by
Georges Charpak , Nobel Prize winner.External links
