IÉSEG School of Management and Le Wagon already have a long history of fruitful collaboration. It started in 2019 with providing all
IÉSEG Grande Ecole (Master in Management) Program students with the required skills in web development, UX/UI Design, and data analysis, thanks to the Le Wagon courses.
In 2021, they have jointly created a new fully-accredited MBA degree program, combining coding and leadership: the MBA in Leadership and Coding. The first cohort of the full-time MBA program has just come to an end. Graduates have acquired dual expertise in management/leadership and in coding/technical skills.
We wanted to highlight to our community that the admissions for next year's cohort are up and running!
