« PGE-MSc » FAQ as from 2020-21
Q1: I will pursue the specialization that I chose in PGE2 during the PGE3/MSc. When will I finish the courses?
A1: If you followed the same specialization in PGE2 and PGE3, you will finish the courses in December (except for the apprenticeship specializations and the MSc specific routes such as the 2-year MSc in International Management-MIEX, Management numérique and Luxury and Design Management). Your internship/job can start in January. You will obtain the PGE-MSc double degree.
Q2: If I plan to follow the same specialization in PGE2 and PGE3, which MSc will I graduate from in addition to the PGE?
A2: In addition to the PGE, you will graduate from the MSc that corresponds to the specialization you have followed since the PGE2. You will obtain the PGE-MSc double degree.
Q3: I intend to choose a specialization in MSc (PGE3) that is different from the one I had in PGE2. What are the conditions to obtain the PGE and the MSc?
A3: As a rule, in order to graduate from the MSc, your academic curriculum should be coherent regarding the specialization chosen in PGE2 and PGE3. In case of a specialization change, you will have to attend additional courses corresponding to your new PGE3 specialization in January and February of your last academic year. Your internship will therefore start in March. These conditions will allow you to obtain the PGE and the MSc followed during your last year.
Q4: In case of a specialization change between PGE2 and PGE3 (MSc), which diploma will I get if I decide to finish the courses in December?
A4: As answered in question 3, in case of a specialization change, you will have to attend additional courses in January and February of your last academic year. Therefore, by deciding to finish your courses in December, you will only have followed half of the new specialization and you will not graduate from the PGE-MSc double degree. You will only graduate from the PGE.
Q5: What should I do in case of an academic stay during the last year of the PGE (MSc)? Will I get the double degree anyway?
A5: If you are selected for an academic stay during the 2nd semester of your 2nd academic year or during your 3rd academic year, two situations may occur:
· If your academic stay allows you to get the hosting university degree, you will therefore get the ICN PGE diploma and the diploma from the foreign university.
· If your academic stay doesn’t allow you to get the hosting university degree (in case of a one semester exchange), you will have to submit the list of the courses chosen in the foreign university and have it validated by the MSc program Direction before your departure. Except in the case of a derogation, courses chosen during the academic stay must correspond to your PGE2 specialization. In case of validation, you will get the PGE degree and the MSc degree which corresponds to your PGE2 specialization (courses taken in the foreign university will therefore be validated as an equivalence, because they are coherent with your specialization).
Q6: Are the conditions the same for the 3-semester MSc: MSc Management numérique and MSc in Luxury and Design Management?
A6: No. The cases described above concern the 1-year MSc (in 2 semesters). If you choose to follow a 3-semester MSc during your last academic year, you will have to attend all the courses from September to May. Your end-of-studies internship/job can start in June. In the end, you will get the PGE/MSc double degree.
Q7: What is the particularity of the MSc Management numérique and the MSc in Luxury and Design Management?
A7: The two MSc programs taking place in Paris offer an alternate school/business rhythm. The schedule is organized as follows: 3 days a week at school (settled days) allowing you to get an internship agreement with a company or a job for the rest of the week. These alternate school/business rhythms are different from the apprenticeship programs because students keep their student status (therefore, tuition fees must be paid).
