Programme overview
Business consulting is a profession that regularly evolves. Consulting clients are continuously looking for innovative approaches, technologies and capabilities to further increase efficiency and/or create new sources of revenue. Aware of this accelerated pace of change, we at SKEMA decided in 2023 to merge our two consulting programmes (Business Consulting & Digital Transformation and International Strategy & Influence) to create a more evolved, multi-campus, state-of-the-art Master: Business Consulting and Decision Intelligence (BCDI).
BCDI builds on the content, curricula, partnerships and alumni of its both predecessors. It combines the use of modern digital technologies with our business acumen to equip our students with the necessary competencies to successfully apply and join top consulting companies and industrial corporations in France and the rest of Europe. Within the business consulting domain, BCDI offers specialisations on the high-growth areas of the future: digital transformation, sustainability and decision intelligence. The Master runs along two semesters in two Campuses (Paris and Sophia Antipolis). The first semester focusing on common competences, the second one on specialisation tracks.

Why choose this MSc in business consulting ?
The MSc offers forward-looking training which covers cutting edge theoretical developments, tools and methods in the fields of consulting, business and competitive intelligence. It is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by systematically relying on industry experts’ testimonials, real-life business cases and company projects.
Particular features include:
- During fall semester, students enjoy the same courses in both campuses. In spring semester, students will follow different specialisation tracks depending in which campus they are. Thus, the choice of campus will be driven from the beginning of the academic year based on the preferred specialisation track.
- Designed by internationally recognised academics together with top business consultants/analysts and competitive intelligence specialists.
- Unique business optimisation approaches based on a combination of digital technologies, competitive intelligence and business acumen.
- Exclusive access to top consulting firms. Recruitment activities take place on both campuses along the two semesters.
- Courses taught by SKEMA researchers and senior executives from the Master ecosystem of consulting firms, think tanks, high-tech SMEs and multinational companies.
-
Throughout the Master, students can acquire the following certifications:
- Google Project Management certificate
- Scrum Master certificate
- Google Data Analytics certificate
- Microsoft PL 900
- Digimind certificate
- Sécurité économique from IHEMI
