Master RSE (CSR): Definition and principles

What is the CSR Master?

The CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Master's Degree is a ��ɫ��Ƶ programme  which is designed to give students solid knowledge and awareness of the practice of Corporate Social Responsibility in companies and organisations.

Corporate social responsibility is a hot topic worldwide, which requires very specific skills and expertise, for example in terms of human resources development.

By attending ��ɫ��Ƶ's CSR Master's course, students are trained in the normative environment governing CSR, both in France and internationally, while being sensitised to the issues of today and tomorrow, such as inclusion or strategic management of human resources. In addition, participants are prepared to manage strategic projects in the social, societal or environmental domains, and to support companies in the conduct of change.

How can we apply to your CSR programme?

Eligibility for admission to the ��ɫ��Ƶ CSR Master's Degree is open:

• To any graduate with a 4-year higher education diploma
• To any graduate with a 2 or 3-year higher education diploma who can justify at least 7 years of professional experience, via a Validation of Professional Acquired Skills 85 (VAP 85).

Why should I do a Master's degree in CSR at ��ɫ��Ƶ Paris?

Corporate Social Responsibility is an enthralling current topic, offering many opportunities because this theme requires real expertise in management sciences. Our program aspires to perfect the actors of organisational and societal change. In concrete terms, leaders who are both agile and inclusive. To do so, our training adopts a holistic conception of the firm and articulates theoretical contributions, role-playing and practical tools.

Our Master 2 CSR adopts an integrated thinking that is reflected in numerous sessions on the company of tomorrow, on change management and on the management of diverse teams. These modules are part of the "Diversity & Inclusion" programme, designed by the ��ɫ��Ƶ Chair in Inclusive Enterprise and our partner, the French Association of Diversity Managers.

By attending this Master's Program, the student has the opportunity to open his or her thinking to current and future CSR issues. Once active, they will be able to integrate social, societal and environmental issues into the global strategy of a company or organisation. Finally, it will be introduced to essential themes such as law and compliance, social management control, human resources management and strategic management...

In concrete terms, the lessons are divided into 4 key modules:

• Organisational management, to learn how to carry out a social audit and develop agility and vision in order to become a team manager.
• Agile leadership and transformation management within an organisation.
• Team management and CSR performance, to master the human resources, career and talent management.
• Career strategy and personal development, through individual and collective coaching sessions.  

By joining this Master's degree, the student has the benefit of the expertise of the ��ɫ��Ƶ Chairs and in particular the recognised expertise of the ��ɫ��Ƶ Chair in Inclusive Enterprise. This Chair conducts ten action-research projects in parallel, each involving about twenty companies. Thus, the speakers are not only the school's teacher-researchers but also experts from the business world, both trainers and coaches. The students can thus benefit from tailored support and orientation coaching to find their way at the end of the training.

The pace of the courses is compatible with the pursuit of a professional activity, with classes taking place on Fridays and Saturdays. In total, participants are on-site for 36 days on campus. The rest of the time, they have access to e-learning modules, for teaching that is as flexible as possible. Some modules are mandatory, while others are optional and allow participants to deepen their knowledge of certain subjects and concepts.

As a conclusion, the main differentiating element of our CSR Master's degree is the humanistic outlook, the pragmatic approach and the transformational ambition that drives it.

What can you do after a Master's degree in CSR management?

Once you graduated from the CSR Master's Degree in Management, there are two paths to follow, depending on your professional project:

• The MBA option is a good option if you wish to improve your management skills and your knowledge of business economics.

You can also continue your studies with a DBA (Doctorate of Business Administration) if you wish to increase your knowledge from the Master's program and benefit from further training. This is a challenging course, which can be completed in 3 years and is aimed at managers who wish to give their careers a new impulse. Besides attending courses on CSR, entrepreneurship and project management, students from the DBA program must choose a thesis research topic. Why not choose a Social Responsibility problematic in order to go further in the thematic of your Master's degree?

• Or joining (again) the professional world. In fact, a graduate from our Master's degree is immediately effective in a multitude of positions: project manager, CSR manager, consultant... As CSR is a particularly job-creating field at the moment, the professional insertion of our graduates is very satisfying!
