Master Analyse et Politique Économique - Parcours : Sustainability : Corporations and Policies (SCOPe)

The programme is ideal for students seeking to become change-makers in the transition towards a more sustainable global economy, equipped with the analytical tools and policy knowledge to drive corporate and governmental progress. The objective of the programme is to give birth to a new generation of international experts for both the public and private sector, able to define and assess economic policies and strategies for a sustainable world, considering that these policies and strategies evolve within different political, social and regional contexts.

Ten cohorts have been trained within the previous track “Development and Sustainability” (between 2013 and 2024) that we decided to rename in order to underline our specific focus on firms (large-scale or small) and organizations. In doing so, we make possible for graduated students obtaining an expertise in a specific field of economics, but also a global perspective on interdependencies and interactions between economic policies, while integrating various institutional and socio-economic approaches to their understanding.

SCOPe is a specific track within APE Master, whose courses take place only in M2 (semester 3 and 4) all taught in English. Semester 3 is devoted to advanced courses (ie, ecological economics, firm responsibility, social economy and social innovation, firms and varieties of capitalism, strategies of global corporations, organisation and sustainability challenges in emerging countries) as well as advanced methodological courses (mixed methods, etc.). The fourth semester is dedicated to master thesis project and internship project. These courses and projects provide a common culture to all students. Note that some courses are shared with other master programmes within Université Paris Cité and the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. International mobility (for internships, field data collection, etc.) is encouraged and made possible thanks to the support of the Graduate School “Sustainability, Organisations and Institutions” of Université Paris Cité. Moreover, the best master theses can compete for the annual Graduate School Research Prize.
