Suzhou track: Asian Transformation: Manufacturing the Future
Real immersion in the culture
One of this programme’s principal strong points lies in its real immersion in China in one of the country’s most important science parks. Students thus benefit from an exceptional academic environment, studying alongside Chinese and Asian students and learning from professors from all over the world who are also professionals in their respective specialist areas.
The campus location also offers unbeatable opportunities for internships and future employment.
There are also many SKEMA alumni in the region who can provide contacts leading to internships or employment.

The course in Research Methods and Critical Thinking culminates in a dissertation.
The mandatory internship gives students the advantage of learning by doing, and may even kick start their career in marketing, supply chain management, purchasing, management accounting, auditing, consulting…
