Much more than a second degree and access to new professional prospects, this master's degree was a real opportunity for personal development for me!Daisy, graduate Following my bachelor's degree in accounting at Haute École, I chose to deepen and broaden my knowledge by following the passerelle at UNamur. This was part of my desire to obtain university status, which offers a wider range of professional and salary opportunities, and part of my curiosity to discover the world of scientific research. There are many differences between the two types of teaching. I particularly appreciated the intellectual stimulation and the challenge of the Master's thesis. Unlike my bachelor's thesis, the dissertation gave me the feeling of having carried out a problem in its entirety, from reflection to recommendations Valérie, graduate In practice, a tailor-made itinerary When you register for the Master of Management Sciences, you choose between the 60-credit master's program and the 120-credit master's program.
