The Senior Project represents the capstone of the graduate program, that allows students to apply their acquired skills and techniques in management in a comprehensive manner. It allows them to consolidate and expand their knowledge on a topic of personal interest. The Senior Project can take the form of an academic research project (potentially serving as a foundation for future doctoral work), a feasibility study for a prospective venture, or a field project (such as revitalizing a company or diversifying its portfolio).
Each Senior Project is guided by a qualified mentor who supports the student in developing a project that contributes meaningfully to the academic or professional community.
