A close partnership with UC Berkeley
The Technology Venture Master’s Program designed by Ecole Polytechnique, a leading institution in science and engineering, is built on a strong partnership with UC Berkeley.
This takes the form of a full term on UC Berkeley campus that runs during Fall at the beginning of the M2. Students participate to the Learn2Launch program, co-designed by UC Berkeley and Polytechnique, and run by the School of Engineering and the Haas Business School at UC Berkeley.
This unique opportunity allows us to offer Master students the benefits from the positive "cultural shock" of an immersion in the entrepreneurial dynamic in the Silicon Valley, along with the teaching from a world leading institution
