ESSEC-CentraleSupélec’s Bachelor in Artificial Intelligence, Data and Management Sciences (AIDAMS) directly addresses the evolving demands of the modern workforce.

This innovative program recognizes the increasing interconnectedness of technology and business strategy and cultivates a new generation of leaders fluent in both domains.

By integrating rigorous coursework in AI, data science, and management principles, AIDAMS equips graduates with a distinctive dual skill set.

This comprehensive approach ensures they are not limited to purely technical or solely business roles but can effectively bridge the gap between innovation and practical application.

These “hybrid professionals” are poised to drive technological advancements within a strategic business context, making them highly sought-after in today’s data-driven economy.

Program Vision

AIDAMS represents a groundbreaking educational paradigm that eliminates the traditional choice between business and engineering.

This unique collaboration between ESSEC Business School and CentraleSupélec creates graduates equipped with dual competencies essential for tomorrow’s data-driven economy.

The program addresses a critical market need for professionals who can seamlessly navigate technical innovation and strategic business decisions.

As Ulysse Mace, a current AIDAMS student and program ambassador, explains: “Rather than focusing on only one side, which could lead me to be a manager who doesn’t understand how the product works or an engineer who doesn’t have the commercial capacities to sell the product or manage a team, AIDAMS students are given the best of both worlds.”

Curriculum Highlights

The program’s interdisciplinary curriculum spans artificial intelligence, data science, and management sciences across prestigious institutions.

Students master programming languages like Python while developing strategic thinking and leadership capabilities. The curriculum emphasizes practical application through industry collaborations and real-world projects.

Yuhan Su, another AIDAMS ambassador, notes: “Unlike a traditional business degree, which focuses on strategy and management, or an engineering degree, which is highly technical, this program teaches both. I’ve learned how to analyze data using AI and machine learning, and how to apply these insights in real-world business contexts.”

Career Relevance

AIDAMS graduates enter the workforce with unprecedented versatility, perfectly positioned for emerging roles in technology consulting, digital transformation, and data-driven marketing.

The program’s emphasis on technical proficiency and business acumen creates professionals capable of bridging the gap between innovation and implementation.

Yuhan’s internship experience at Asus as a Marketing Intern demonstrates this practical application: “This experience strengthened my creativity and communication skills. In addition to social media management, I was also involved in analyzing trends and consumer preferences.”

The dual skill set proves invaluable in today’s increasingly data-centric business landscape.

Student Experience

The AIDAMS community fosters collaboration and mutual support, creating an environment where diverse skill levels converge for collective growth.

Students engage in mandatory international exchanges, multiple internship opportunities, and vibrant campus life across both institutions.

Ulysse reflects on the program’s collaborative spirit: “Students were helping each other to learn, organizing group study sessions, and sharing their knowledge to help others who had more trouble following the classes. This cohesion and friendliness made me appreciate the program’s social aspect.”

Through its pioneering interdisciplinary curriculum, AIDAMS empowers graduates with a unique fusion of AI, data science, and management expertise, positioning them as pivotal figures in driving innovation and strategic growth across industries.

This holistic educational experience prepares them for current demands and the evolving challenges of tomorrow.
