General Information
The average class size each year is 35 to 40 students/apprentices who are in classes, internships and preparation of their thesis full-time from September to September (minimum). During the two periods of apprenticeship/internship (beginning of January to end of March, then beginning of June until the end of the apprenticeship contract), students are mostly based in the Paris region.

Characteristics of the first year
The first year of the MSc is made up of general management courses. It is a general programme for all students whatever their choice of major in the second year. However, at the same time as this common-core curriculum, students can discover the various second-year specialities through specific modules called "focus".
It is during the second year of the MSc that students learn the professions of product or market study manager.
Characteristics of the second year
The year is broken down into 4 periods:
The student spends the first four months in classes (September to December) at the IAE Aix in order to acquire the principles (methodology, techniques and tools) necessary for the profession of product or market study manager.
The next three months (January to March) are devoted to the performance of marketing missions in the marketing department of a major brand or a large public or private enterprise. The student apprentice or intern is associated with these missions as an assistant product manager or assistant market study manager and his or her work is supervised by a Mission Director who is his or her in-company Tutor.
Then for two months (April-May) the student returns to the IAE Aix in order to acquire specific competences (distribution, e-marketing, brand management, lectures by visiting professionals).
The last part of the year (from June and for a minimum duration or three months for non-apprentices and from June until the end of the apprenticeship contract for apprentices) is devoted to new marketing missions in a Marketing Department under the supervision of the in-company Tutor.
