This specialization recruits students who have completed the first year of a scientific Master´s or equivalent and wish to obtain a highly vocational qualification in marketing and sales via an apprenticeship. The specialization enables students with a solid scientific background to obtain a second skill set in the areas of marketing and sales.

This course, whose applicants come from a wide variety of backgrounds, is the fruit of partnerships between the Pierre et Marie Curie and Paris Dauphine universities, the UPMC Apprenticeship Training Centre and the corporate sector. Teaching is therefore particularly tailored to students´ prior education and/or career path.
