XJTU-SKEMA joint MSc receives award

21 December, the joint master’s programme MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation (Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Management), launched by China’s ivy-league-level Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and SKEMA Business School, received an award from the Shaanxi Association of Higher Education.

Located in China’s northwest Shaanxi Province, Xi’an Jiaotong University is a leading higher-education institution in big data and AI, while SKEMA is one of the top business schools in Europe. The joint fruit of the two institutions is the only business programme in the award-winner list.

“I am delighted that our joint master's programme, the MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation (Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Management), with Xi'an Jiaotong University has received an award by the Shaanxi Association of Higher Education right after the first graduates obtained their diplomas in November 2022. It is recognition of the programme's quality and impact, and the high-level bilateral cooperation,” said Matthieu Dumont, campus director of SKEMA China.

Aimed at training future elites and industry leaders in entrepreneurship and innovation, the MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation (Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Management) began at the start of the 2020 academic year. This joint programme is open to applicants with L3 (and at least three years of professional experience) to M2 level. At the end of the two years of study, students receive the diploma of SKEMA (MSc) and that of the Chinese Ministry of Education.
