NEOMA MIM Evaluation procedures

Dual Validation and Assessment Structure of the NEOMA Master in Management Programme

The NEOMA Master in Management (MiM) programme features a robust dual validation system designed to assess students comprehensively:

• Ongoing Assessment: Students are continuously evaluated throughout the programme via a series of individual or group reports and assignments, fostering consistent engagement and practical application of knowledge.

• Final Evaluation: Conducted at the conclusion of the programme, this evaluation varies in format but is primarily individual, allowing for a thorough review of each student’s competencies.

Upon successful completion of all required components and validation of ECTS credits for each academic year, students are awarded the Level 7 qualification of the Master in Management.

In cases where specific modules are not validated and corresponding credits are not earned, participants are granted an opportunity to retake assessments during a designated evaluation period.
