MBA Description
The Logistics and Supply Chain Management Program at ESLSCA Business School Paris, created in partnership with CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), aims to train young professionals who are competent, cultured, open to the world and rooted in both values and knowledge. Management is not only about mastering techniques and technologies, but also about creating dynamics by supporting women, men and territories.
The program favors contact with a network of high-level professionals from leading companies (industry, commerce, digital, distribution, e-commerce, public sector and government services, education), in a position to offer students interesting openings and perspectives.
The teaching approach alternates between general courses and shorter modules taught by enthusiastic professional lecturers who are keen to share their experience.
The curriculum is peppered with visits to companies, infrastructures and trade shows, as well as attendance at targeted conferences related to our business sector.
Our experience in the field leads us to consider general culture, reading and interpersonal skills as keys to success that count just as much as mastery of technique. Open to innovation, we focus on exploring emerging trends to invent the drivers of tomorrow's Supply Chain.

Assessment procedures
The study year is divided into two semesters, with the last week reserved for exams.
Students are graded according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) standard promoted by the European Union. The assessment system complies with the 2022-2023 internal study regulations; the average grade for a course or module is used to assess the effort made by each student and to help them make decisions about their academic and professional choices.
It includes elements of continuous assessment, the evaluation of various assignments and the grade obtained during the semester assessments.
Under the direction of the School Director, the school jury meets once a year to decide on the case of each student (passing, repeating, reorientation).
Students validate their year with 60 ECTS (i.e. 30 ECTS per semester) and an average of 10/20 per module, bearing in mind that 5 is an eliminatory mark for a course.
In addition, all the pedagogical conditions must be fulfilled:
- Compulsory work placement of at least 6 months for students in initial training, to be carried out during the 2 years of training OR work-linked training (the work-linked training contract must be signed no later than 3 months after the start of the academic year).
- Continuous assessment + ESLSCA final exams
- Dissertation
- Skills passport
- Company diagnosis
- In-company professional project (written + oral)
- Logistics investigation file + oral
- FMIL certification
- Hoshin site
- TOEIC (minimum score 700)
- Process communication/MBTI
- Managerial assessment + oral
- Personal development (participation in school life)
Any student who does not obtain an average of 10/20 in a module will be invited to the make-up session to retake the exams defined by the passing jury.
A second School Jury will be held after the make-up session to decide on the case of each student: conditional passage for 2-year sandwich students, repeating a year, reorientation, exclusion, gap year.
