Company missions at over 80 corporate partners in Europe
Our company partners provide the special opportunity to incorporate concepts learned at the Collège into real business world situations.
Within the company missions, our Fellows deal directly with these challenges. Together, the Collège and the companies form a unique European innovation eco-system.
Learning through action - Qui agit intellegit
At the Collège you will deep-dive into the dynamic challenges of leading companies through the company mission, which represents two-thirds of the MBA experience. Here, you will apply concepts taught in the classroom to real problems.
Our innovation network of over 70 partner companies gives you essential and valuable first-hand experience for your career start.
Company mission: Preparing you for future challenges
As the learning experience at the Collège is based on Learning through Action, seminar weeks alternate with periods spent in individually matched company missions.
The development of your management qualities will be accelerated by being immersed in the real world of business right from the beginning. We believe that Learning through Action is an instant career elevator for you.
The company mission is a managerial and strategical challenge in one of our partner companies requiring scientific competence. A year spent at the Collège will sharpen your entrepreneurial mindset and enrich your professional network.

Individual Company-Fellow matching
The matching process between the Fellow and the company mission is unique: after admission, every Fellow meets several managers in interviews organized by the Collège for potential company missions.
The missions are within the network of company partners. You will benefit directly from the trust base of our partners and will get offered challenges, which you would not see as a young graduate. As a result, working on a Collège mission is far more than gaining practical work experience.
The Fellows excel during the mission, build and enlarge their professional network and truly understand how managers think and act. This opportunity, of course, leads to exceptional job offers after the MBA, both inside and outside the Collège's worldwide network of companies.
