SHS-MGT courses in Management and Finance

The College of Management of Technology is the EPFL School responsible for developing and offering education and research programmes in the fields of management, economics and finance (MEF). By virtue of its location on a campus dominated by basic and engineering sciences, the College needs to position itself as having to offer more than what a “standard” business school is able to provide. In essence, it wants to pave the way for the management school of the future by placing itself at the frontier between the traditional domains of a business school and the principal areas of expertise of a leading technical university.

Based on these objectives, one central mission of the College is to train the future leaders in management by offering on the campus the knowledge and expertise in MEF that must form part of the intellectual baggage of future engineers, which is key to enabling EPFL students to gain access to top management levels in companies.

The project of establishing a set of courses in Management and Finance for Bachelor students within the Social and Human Sciences Program (SHS) is perfectly aligned with this mission.

Students attending these courses will acquire knowledge in micro- and macro-economics, entrepreneurship, finance, innovation, policy and sustainable economic development. In all courses, applications and real world examples in economics, finance or management will be used to complement the acquisition of techniques and skills of these disciplines.
