Overview This English-taught International Triple Degree MSc in Management is a joint programme run by institutions in the USA, France and Germany. It combines intensive, semester-by-semester study at three partner campuses to give you broad management foundations, advanced functional skills and applied project experience within an international learning environment.
Structure and learning experience Students begin their studies from August to December at Loyola University in New Orleans (USA), where they cover core management topics such as financial reporting and managerial accounting, organisational behaviour and leadership, strategic marketing, managerial economics and statistics, and ethics and social justice. This semester also includes career-management activities to support employability and career planning. From January to May, teaching continues on SKEMA’s Paris campus with more advanced modules in areas like corporate finance, innovation and entrepreneurship, international project management, strategic stakeholder management and supply chain management. The third semester (May to October) takes place at the LMU Munich School of Management (Germany), offering courses such as strategic communication, data-based decision making, competitive strategy and financial risk management, together with a consulting project that applies classroom learning to real-world problems.
Degrees and options After completing the first three semesters and the corresponding credit requirements, students are awarded an MBA certificate from Loyola University New Orleans. Students who choose to extend the programme by writing a Master’s thesis in a final semester at one of the partner campuses can additionally obtain SKEMA’s Diplôme Grande École and LMU Munich’s Master of Science in Business Administration, thereby completing the full triple-degree pathway. The programme therefore combines international mobility, multidisciplinary coursework and practical project work—an attractive setup for students seeking a globally oriented management education.
Key facts / requirements
This programme is organised over three or optionally four semesters. During the first three semesters students complete taught coursework worth a total of 90 ECTS (equivalent to 45 USA credits), delivered as 30 ECTS (15 USA credits) per semester. On successful completion of these 90 ECTS, students are awarded an MBA certificate from Loyola University New Orleans, reflecting the programme’s integrated international curriculum and U.S. accreditation pathway.
Students who choose to extend into a fourth semester undertake a Master’s thesis. Completing the thesis in that additional semester qualifies graduates to receive two further credentials: the Diplôme Grande École from SKEMA Business School (Paris) and the Master of Science from LMU Munich. This fourth-semester research component deepens subject-matter expertise and demonstrates independent analytical and research capability across an international academic framework.
