IESEG & Le Wagon join forces to launch MBA in Leadership and Coding

Back in 2021, the first cohort of the full-time MBA in Leadership and Coding, co-founded by IÉSEG and Le Wagon, took place. The class trained with dual expertise in management, leadership and tech just finished this first year with amazing feedback and satisfaction! Curious? Here are the highlights of the program and how to apply.

IÉSEG School of Management and Le Wagon already have a long history of fruitful collaboration. It started in 2019 with providing all IÉSEG Grande Ecole (Master in Management) Program students with the required skills in web development, UX/UI Design, and data analysis, thanks to the Le Wagon courses.

In 2021, they have jointly created a new fully-accredited MBA degree program, combining coding and leadership: the MBA in Leadership and Coding. The first cohort of the full-time MBA program has just come to an end. Graduates have acquired dual expertise in management/leadership and in coding/technical skills.

We wanted to highlight to our community that the admissions for next year's cohort are up and running!

Curious?
Here are the highlights of the program:

Taught entirely in English, it is designed for professionals with at least 3 years of work experience, and aims to develop managers and changemakers with a fully integrated program, combining state-of-the-art business and coding courses.
