Bachelor’s Year 3 Entrepreneurship and SME (EPME)

Discover the different training courses offered by MOMA

The Bachelor’s Year 3 Entrepreneurship and SME (EPME) allows students to confront the reality of the market: 99.9% of companies in France are micro-enterprises, SMEs, or mid-sized companies (source: INSEE 2025).

It is in this environment that L3 EPME students will immerse themselves. They will gain a better understanding of the specific characteristics of these companies and will therefore be better able to adapt to them.

In a small or medium-sized enterprise, as well as in a mid-sized company (ETI), entrepreneurial activity makes it possible to create new market opportunities or to meet existing needs. Students enrolled in the EPME track will be introduced to the entrepreneurial approach, enabling them either to strengthen a company’s activity while remaining in salaried employment, or to develop their own entrepreneurial venture.
