“The course is taught in English and is designed for French and international students. The Arts & Creative Industries Management Master of Science is a premium programme offering students the chance to be immersed in the French culture during their studies, specified Anne Gombault, Professor and Director of the Creative Industries & Culture Research Centre at KEDGE. This includes visual arts, heritage, performing arts, cultural industries such as cinema, music, publishing and video games, and other creative industries such as fashion, luxury goods, arts and crafts, gastronomy, wine and spirits as well as tourism, leisure activities and entertainment. Future graduates will be able to take on management and marketing positions in these fields all over the world thanks to the specific skills they will obtain.”

KEDGE’s partners for this Master of Science include prestigious art institutions and small dynamic and creative companies.
