3 Program director: Gilles Séré De Lanauze, Ph.D. Associate professor PART I: General presentation of the Master s degree in International Business In France, the Ministry of Higher Education and Research is the governing body for the National higher education. The Ministry of Higher Education and Research has adopted the reform of the Bologna process by generalizing the LMD, the ECTS system and two semesters per year. The French University curriculum follows the LMD system, which divides higher education into 3 diplomas: Licence (Bachelor s degree, 3 years of Higher Education), Master (Master s degree, 2 years after Bachelor's degree) and Doctorat (Ph.D., 3 years after Master s degree). IAE Montpellier School of Management which is part of the University of Montpellier, is responsible for organizing its offer of programs. The Master s degree in International Business comprises 4 semesters and is awarded after successful completion of 120 ECTS credits, in accordance to the national qualification scheme. Each Master s degree is placed under the responsibility of faculty members, themselves managed by one program director. I - Recruitment and enrollment process In order to enroll, all applicants to the first year of the program must provide evidence that they earned 180 ECTS credits at the time of submitting their application. Once selected by the selection committee (for each program), the student must provide evidence of: Successful completion of a Bachelor s degree or equivalent to 180 ECTS One of the validations prescripted in the 16 April 02 decree n for the enforcement of articles L.613-3, L and L of the Education Code mandated by VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience) or by VAP (Validation of Professional Experience). Applications are reviewed in two sessions: Early June Early September If the required 180 credits have not been acquired by June, the student may present an application in September. If the credits have been acquired but the related certificate is not yet available, the application may be processed subject to future justification of the said credits. The criteria and selection tests is specific to the master in International Business, in relation to the objectives sought by the program. Each application is therefore reviewed individually. Admission to the Master course is announced by the recruitment committee, under the responsibility of the program director further to the analysis of the application form and, where required, oral and written tests and/or interviews: there are no "automatic" admissions. 3

4 Administrative registration in the 2 nd year of the Master is conditioned by the obtention of 240 ECTS and the approval of the recruitment committee. The academic enrollment shall be automatically delivered to every student enrolled administratively and is compulsory in order to attend classes and sit exams. The registered student shall verify that his/her academic enrollment is complete with the program administrative officer and get his/her learning agreement before the first exam session. Specific entry requirements to the Master s degree in International business Entry requirements for the program are first about academic qualities and exam results. The second element taken into consideration is international working experience (or time spent abroad) and English proficiency. Any applicant whose first language is not English must certify proficiency in English when applying to IAE Montpellier. Such applicants must submit scores received on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) as part of their application. The IELTS English test is also accepted. A TOEFL score of at least 80 or a TOEIC score of at least 750 are the minimum required for applicants to the program. The minimum score required for IELTS is 5. The third element taken into account is the applicant s professional plan and motivation. II- Organization of teaching The Master s degree of International Business comprises 4 semesters (refered to as M1S1, M1S2, M2S3, M2S4.). Each semester includes 6 course units (U.E) equivalent to 30 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). Each course unit (U.E) is generally equivalent to 5 ECTS credits and 36 hours of course. These course units can be broken down into various sub-components (known as ECUE). Courses content, courses objectives and assessment methods of each course units are defined in the present syllabus. For the 1 st year only: The term is carried out in a 8-week period. In addition, each 8 week period enables completion of the examinations for the given term. Remedial exams for the first term will be held in March. For the second term, remedial exams will be held in September, before the start of the M2 course. Two ECUE (elements comprising a single teaching unit) must be taken (not withstanding exceptions) in an academically logical sequence. A term with 6 course units (U.E) and therefore 12 ECUE will be held over an 8 week period, enabling a total of 216 hours of lessons (270 including the projects and tutorial). Over the period, there are 40 working days, not including Saturdays, public holidays and examination days. On average, a student has 5.4 hours of lessons per day (not including Saturday), i.e. less than 30h per week. 4

5 ECUE Course: 12h = 4x 1 UE = 45 h = 5 ECTS Course: 18h ECUE 22h30 Small group lectures: 6h = 2x Individual follow-up (E.learning ) 4h30 The standardized assessment regime for the Master s degrees of International Business is clearly stated in the present note that is reviewed and ratified to the Council for studies and university life (the CFVU council) and by IAE board of directors. It is made available to all students and faculty. Schedule (1 st year) The following schedule applies to all first year students of the Master s degree. The 2 nd year schedule is described further in this document. 1st Semester courses at IAE Montpellier From the 28th of September to the 11th of December 2015 (8 weeks, 6 course units - UE) First Semester Exams (1st session): 16th, 17th et 18 th of December 2015 First period in company: from the 26th of October 2015 to the 13th of November 2015, (incompany project or apprenticeship) 2 nd Semester courses at IAE Montpellier From the 4th of January to the 8th of April 2016 (8 weeks, 6 course units - UE) Second Semester Exams (1st session): Second period in company: from the 18th of January 2016 to the 8th of April 2016, (incompany project or apprenticeship) All free periods from 26 October 2015 to the 11 th of April 2016 are considered as company periods (placement for apprentices, mission for the others). From 11 April to 30 September 2016, students will be in-company (work period for apprentices, internship for the others). 5

6 For non-apprentices, the rule is a one month 'mission' and a three months 'internship' with no more than six months spent in a single company (mission and internship combined). III- Exams procedures 1. Assessment process & exams sessions Each course unit is endowed with ECTS credits and these are acquired if a student obtains an overall final mark of at least 10/20. A course unit acquired during the first or second session, is definitely acquired; it therefore cannot be re-sat. The skills and knowledge acquisition are assessed either by a continuous evaluation (CC) or a final written examination (E), or by an oral examination (O), or by a combination of two or three of these modes (in this case, the different modes are waged in proportion to their coefficient). The nature of these assessment methods (written, oral or continuous evaluation), the duration, the coefficient and the number of exam sessions define the methods of specific skills and knowledge assessment for each course unit. The calculation for marking a course unit (UE) or a sub-component (ECUE) follows the rules below for both examination sessions: For the 1 st exam session: the UE or ECUE final mark is equivalent to the weighted average of all marks obtained in the different tests (either written, oral, or continuous assessments). For the 2 nd exam session: the UE or ECUE final mark is equivalent to each examination mark, this one standing for all of the marks. 2. The assessment of internships, projects, or bibliographical research reports Internships and in-company projects are carried out under the supervision of a tutor. This assessment may take the form of written reports or oral presentations. The conditions and the organization of examinations are regulated in the Charter of exams and the syllabus of each course. 3. Marking rules in case of a repeated academic year During the repeated year, only the course units which were not acquired the previous year can be re-sat. Caution: the failed course units cannot be re-sat if a semester was acquired by compensation during the second exam session of the current year or during the following year. 4. Addressing the issue of non-attended exams When a student does not turn-up for an exam, or does not hand in an internship report, his/her mark is 0/20 (APOGE codification: ABI for unjustified absences or ABJ for adequately justified absences). (*for all kinds of examinations, including internship reports or bibliographical research data). The ABI or ANJI mark entails an adjourned result. The student receiving an adjourned result for a course unit will be adjourned for the semester. He/she will have to re-sit the course unit for which he/she has been adjourned in session Acquisition, Validation and Capitalization of a course unit (UE) A course unit (UE) is acquired when the student obtains a mark of 10/20 or more and superior to 5/20. The course unit (UE) acquisition entails the acquisition of the corresponding ECTS credits. An UE acquired by compensation during the semester is validated, even if the mark itself is inferior to 10/20 6

7 and superior to 5/20. This mark is maintained and appears on the transcript of records. An UE of which the average mark is inferior to 10/20 is considered as non-acquired. If the student does not get at least a 10/20 average mark for the semester AND over 5/20 for each and every course unit, he/she must re-sit all of the UE and ECUE which mark is strictly inferior to 10/20, during the second exam session. The acquired course units are re-usable later on with no time limit, but can only contribute to the validation of one semester. Having been capitalized on the corresponding ECTS credits, it is not allowed to register again to these. When a course unit is validated by compensation with a mark superior to 5/20 during a semester, it is definitely validated and capitalized. However, it cannot be transferable to another program. A non-acquired UE cannot be capitalized, there cannot be a marks keeping from one academic year to another; the UE mark is reset to 0/20. Each ECUE is subject to an examination. The evaluation of some ECUE may be given using an average exam grade, representing 70%, plus a continuous assessment grade (work to be handed in, participation) representing 30%. If there is continuous assessment (work to be handed-in for example), absence of the student at the time of the assessment and/or if the work is not handed in, will result in the grade of 0 for the continuous assessment. Examinations may be held at any time during an 8 week term. The faculty member in charge of the course unit upon approval of the program director, decides upon the internship and the type of examination (duration, procedure, subject...). Notably, the duration may vary from 1 to 4 hours. The lecturer, independently of his/her status (IAE core faculty, adjunct faculty) must be contactable during his/her ECUE examination, if not present. When a course unit is shared between two ECUE, these are not dissociable: a single grade will be given, the average from the two ECUE. Use of calculators and cell phones during examinations A single type of calculator is authorized for examinations. This is the Casio Collège fx-92. Any other type of calculator is not authorized during the examinations. Students may not borrow calculators during examinations. Cell phones must be switched off and placed in bags at the back or front of the room. Cell phones may not be used as clocks. In the event of use of unauthorized material, this will be confiscated and returned after a disciplinary hearing. Internships and projects Internships and projects give rise to ECTS credits. Internships are monitored by a tutor chosen by the student from the teaching staff. The internship must be validated by the tutor and the speciality head. Internships are evaluated on the basis of a report (M1) or a dissertation with an oral presentation (M2). If an internship is not validated due to insufficiency with regards to the report or dissertation, a second session may be held. If the non-validation is based on the conditions of the internship itself, the student may only obtain the required credit by repeating the internship period. 7

8 1 - Obtaining the Master s degree To obtain the Master s degree, the student must have achieved at least the average grade (10/20) or higher in each of the 4 tuition terms AND more than 5/20 for each of the UE units for the four terms. A term is validated (ACQ) when the average grade for the component UE is over 10/20 (compensation rule) and over 5/20 for each of the UE for the term in question. There is no annual compensation. If the student has not achieved a grade of at least 10/20 for the term AND 5/20 for each UE, he/she must repeat, at the second session, all the Units for which the grade is significantly lower than 5/20. When a student is absent from an examination (excused or not), the grade is 0/20 (APOGE code of ABI for unjustified absence, or ABJ for justified absence). The examinations and student evaluation, the awarding of course units and validation of teaching units are under the responsibility of: - Director of IAE Montpellier (E. Stéphany) - Director of Postgraduate Masters (Technologies Management Master) (E. Houzé) - Program directors (G. de Lanauze) - Head of enrollment office and regulations (Y. Guitt) - A students' representative (elected to the establishment committee) Internships The first internship period may be dedicated, through to the Christmas vacation, to searching for apprenticeship contracts for apprentice course students who do not have a contract yet. For apprentices, this period corresponds to the first phase of apprenticeship. For the others, a company internship of at least one month, or a mission coordinated in the interest of IAE, or a theoretical report, will be required. In all cases, a report relative to an activity is required by the first day of the second term. At the end of the 1 st year period, a 4 month internship is mandatory. This period also corresponds to the second apprenticeship period for apprentices. A report must be produced and evaluation of the report will be included in the ECUE grade (internship and missions). Internship contract models are available for students. Students must have their internship validated (and the subject of their report validated by a tutor of their choice from the teaching team) by the program head, following the procedure given on the IAE intranet. A significant placement period and an adapted mission are arguments in favour of acceptance onto the M2 course and also for finding pertinent employment. Organization of the mobility period The mobility in foreign universities takes place in the first term of the second year (M2S3), from the first of September to the winter vacation. This period may vary in relation to the host university's term dates, some start in August, others may extent lessons and examinations into January. N.B.: In all cases, the student must check the dates of the courses selected at the foreign university and ensure that the courses taken and registered in the learning agreement (examination dates and remedial examination dates if applicable), are compatible with the IAE Master 2 timetable, notably with regards to returning to the classroom in February. 8

9 The mobility period thus defined has several consequences: The choice of universities by the students and the related registrations must be anticipated from the second term of the first year (M1S2). Consequently, recruitment to the second year (Master 2) must be anticipated and completed very early on in the 1 st year (February-March). Recruitment is based on applications plus tests and interviews with the candidates retained on the basis of their application. The application includes the results from the first term of M1 and the score achieved in English (TOELF, TOEIC or IELTS). The results from the first year play a major role in the global evaluation, as does the level of English. Registration in the second year (M2) is only confirmed further to definitive confirmation of the validation of the corresponding credits and of the first year. Students must be administratively registered at IAE Montpellier before departure to a host university. They must complete the tuition forms and present a complete application, including the definitive results of the Master 1, taking into account the registration office opening periods during the summer prior to departure for the host university. The administrative procedures for mobility, notably with regards to visa applications, if required, must be carried out by the student. Students must also anticipate the IAE and UM2 international relations office opening periods during the summer, notably when requiring tuition certificates for visa applications. Selecting courses at the host university Students must select the courses that they wish to follow at their host university. This choice should be subject to certain criteria: (1) coherence of the content with that of the Master s degree, the courses must be at Master level and related to the main subject, and be pertinent with regards to an international business career. Language lessons may be included in the Learning Agreement up to a limit of 20% of the required credits, i.e. a maximum of 6 language credits out of 30. (2) the dates and periods of the courses chosen (course, examination, remedial tests) must enable the student to respect the global timetable for the IAE Master 2 course (notably classes in January); any potential overlaps must be handled by the student (catching up missed lessons, additional trips to ensure presence at exams, etc.), (3) the choice of courses must be formalized on the learning agreement document which shows the name, level of the course (Master), detail of the credits corresponding to each of the lessons followed, validated by the IAE Master 2 tuition head and the host university; in parallel a special arrangement to the learning agreement may be applied during the first two week period of the new term at the foreign university. This arrangement must be approved by both universities (the original and the host establishments). Special cases for catching up on timetables In certain partner universities there may be superposition of timetables with the timetable at the IAE. Definition of the best solution will be the responsibility of each student, in communication the host university in order to find the optimal timetables and examination periods. Several solutions are available (early examinations, replacement of examination by written reports, organization of examinations held at distance...) but these must be negotiated directly by the student with administrative services of the host university. IAE will support negotiated solutions. In the worst case, where the host university does not authorize adaptation of its evaluation procedure, the student may be authorized by IAE to return to the IAE courses after the required evaluation period. 9

10 In such cases, the student must catch up his/her lessons by using the digital supports on the IAE intranet and the bibliographies defined by the teachers. It is essential for the students concerned to anticipate the host university's term and examination dates in order to ensure optimal organization for both structures. Validation of UE The Student must provide proof to IAE Montpellier of the credits obtained at the host university (achieved on site in the first or second session) and any correspondence between credits in the host country and IAE credits (transcript of credits) in compliance with the agreements applicable within the framework of the partnership signed between the IAE and the university in question. The number of credits validated by the IAE within the framework of the Master 2, corresponding to courses at foreign universities may not exceed 30 credits, limiting the risk related to not obtaining the said credits. However, credits achieved up to a maximum of 30 may be integrated into the IAE M2 CAI diploma. If a student does not achieve the 30 credits, the registration shows NACQ - not acquired. Term 3 for the M2 course (or the mobility term) is validated subject to acquisition of the full 30 credits from the host university abroad. The second remedial session may only be held, for each unit missing, at the host university. Consequently, there cannot be a remedial session at the IAE relative to courses taken at host universities. Remedial sessions must be organized in relation with the host university prior to the return of the student. Students who have not validated all subjects cannot be validated for the entire first term and will not be awarded the Master 2 certificate for the year. Students may continue their studies however and re-take the first term (at a foreign university). Students re-taking a term must validate the missing credits during a second phase of presence at a host university of his/her choice (subject to the host university choice criteria, but without having to return to the same university). He/she must validate the full 30 credits required for the diploma. Specialization path During the second term of the M2 (M2S4) course, students can choose between the three specialization paths. The desired specializations are registered upon application for the M2 course, i.e. during the second term of M1 (M1S2) and confirmed upon administrative registration to the course. Changes to the specialization path may only be made subject to formal approval from the tuition heads of the Master 2 for each of the paths concerned, and must be for a valid reason. The two specialization paths are: International Sales International Purchasing International Service Management End of Studies Internship A company internship, for a minimum period of five months and a maximum of six months, must conclude the training, from April to September. In compliance with the vocation of the diploma, the internship must be carried out abroad. Organization of the internship must follow the administrative procedures deployed by the IAE business relations service, which remains the obligatory point of contact for students with regards to the internship. 10

11 The internship must be concluded by a written dissertation and an oral presentation and a final evaluation which depends entirely on obtaining the required credits (15 credits). In compliance with the English language requirement of the CAI M2 course, the dissertation and oral presentation are in English. The dissertation must be written by the student and correspond to the requirements of a Master 2 level. It must notably position the internship and missions within a general context of international business management. For more details on the dissertation and the oral presentation, please refer to the related section at the end of the syllabus. The internship and the oral presentation must be completed within the academic year and in all cases before 30th September. In the event where the student cannot justify the required internship duration (5 months) by the 30th September, he/she must re-apply to the IAE and complete the missing period the following year. The oral presentation will be postponed to the end of the internship during a period dedicated to such presentations, as scheduled by the administrative team and in relation to the students' timetables. If any repeat or remedial sessions are held, the student will only be awarded the Master 2 certificate once all the credits have been registered and then, at the end of the current academic year. 11

12 PART II - The Master s degree in International Business Overview The Master in International Business has been specifically designed for students who wish to acquire a dual competence in international sales or purchase. It is a two-year degree aimed at international and French graduates with mainly a scientific background (Bachelor degree in Science, technology, engineering for instance) and which does not necessarily include management or business. All applicants to the first year of the Master s degree in International business must provide evidence that they earned 180 ECTS credits at the time of submitting their application. The 2 nd year is open to students who validated 240 ECTS credits. From academic year, the Master s degree in International Business (MIB) is entirely taught in English. Rationale The first year enables students to acquire knowledge and skills in core business and management disciplines (semester 1) taking an international focus (semester 2). The program starts with one semester of courses such as marketing, human resources management, finance and accounting. These courses follow a logical sequence that enables students to build their overall business knowledge and sharpen the basic business skills. It prepares students with no prior experience with major international businesses. The third semester is essential in the Master s degree in international business experience. Students will spend one semester in one of our partner universities and acquire specific knowledge about the country of their choice. The final semester is devoted to courses at IAE that enable students to delve deeply into one of two specific areas of business: international sales or purchase. The elective courses in sales or purchasing provide students with specific skills needed for entry-level positions and careers in sales and/or purchasing. The Master also comprises a compulsory internship of 5 months minimum abroad to facilitate students' entry into the professional world and which has to be completed along with a Master thesis. Career opportunities International industrial purchaser, International sales engineer, Marketing project manager, Marketing assistant, B to B seller, Business analyst, transnational contracts negotiator, account manager. Program intended learning outcomes The main objective of this program is to equip students with professional management skills supported by a global perspective and prepare them to thrive in the global market. IAE Montpellier considers intended learning outcomes to be the particular knowledge, skills and attitudes students should master and be able to demonstrate at the end of a course (for course ILOs) and at the end of a program (for program ILOs). The program intended learning outcomes of the Master s degree in International business are divided into six categories: 1- Knowledge 2- Skills including interpersonal skills 12

13 3- Attitudes 4- International perspective 5- Understanding of the business world 6- Awareness of the broader trends in society (eg social responsibility) Knowledge (I.L.O n 1) Upon completion of the program, students will demonstrate understanding of the accurate tools to develop and manage an international business Interpersonal skills (ILO n 2) Students will be able to solve problems and to critically analyze. Students will also be able to demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills and decision-making skills. Attitudes (ILO n 3) Students will be able to work as part of a team and carry out a group project. International perspective (I.L.O n 4) Students will understand the specified discipline from a global perspective. Understanding of the business world (I.L.O n 5) Students will be able to understand business practices and related concepts and be able to integrate this functional knowledge in order to address business problems. Awareness of the broader trends in society (eg social responsibility) (I.L.O n 6) Students will be able to demonstrate awareness of ethical and social responsibility issues. International learning experience Internationalization of the teaching and learning environment at IAE Montpellier may take many forms. The course incorporates a mix of students from all over the world. This is the best way to use and improve a language. It is mandatory for students to spend one semester in one of our partner universities during the first semester. Corporate learning experience Business executives are involved in teaching the Master in International Business program. This ensures our students benefit from strong links with the business world. Through a combination of case studies, lectures and group work, this program prepares students to deal with the multitude of issues that firms must address. The final year internship is an assessed and compulsory part of the course.
