A joint faculty among the Università Cattolica and ICN Business School of Nancy has been appointed. Visiting professors from Partner Universities as well as business professionals will take part to the teaching activity

Important part of the course is dedicated to practical work experience. Every participant depending on her/his educational path (Fast Track or Two Years Programme) takes part in a practical activity where he/she is confronted with problems related to the internationalisation process of a company. A first practical activity takes place in the last part of Study Year 1 as a internship where participants joined groups focused on a work assignment designed and coached by partner firms. A second practical activity takes place in the Second Semester of Study Year 2 as a Project Work. The topic of the project work is drafted together with the host company, and the participant can thereby directly contribute to the development of the company's internationalisation process.
