A1
Can establish basic social contact by using the simplest everyday polite forms of: greetings and farewells; introductions; saying please, thank you, sorry etc.

The academic discipline of International Relations (also called Global Affairs) traditionally focuses on political relationships between sovereign nation-states and non-state actors. This module aims to understand our contemporary international system using three frameworks: realism, liberalism and identity theory. The module begins with a historical analysis, because we cannot understand our contemporary system, without understanding the events that have shaped it. We then will begin to analyze modern history beginning at the end of the Cold War. The module culminates in a project that will require you to analyze the most recent international affairs.

As future engineers, Students need to understand the way a company works and how they shall collaborate with different functions.
Marketing is a key department in a company, interacting with almost all departments, especially with the R&D and Manufacturing functions.
This course is aiming at providing students with a global overview of what Marketing is and how Marketing function is interacting with other departments inside a company.

Students will discover the major definitions and tools taught in Marketing.
The course will be composed of Lectures and Tutorials.
Students will have the opportunity to review and check their understanding of the content as well as their level of knowledge
Students will have the opportunity to test and learn how to use Marketing tools during the Tutorials thanks to Group Work activities
Eventually they willbe able to implement these learning during the Innovation program that they will go throught during their 4th year

The objective of the teaching is multifaceted: from the search for a professional project to obtaining their degree, the student is led to understand the challenges of recruitment, to define the favorable conditions for its achievement, and to open up to the external professional world.
