Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AMS programme consist of? Where will my projects be assigned?
The two-year programme is based on four individually-tailored project assignments in actual EADS marketing and sales campaigns. You will be learning in EADS International, in field offices around the world and finally in Business Units or divisions of EADS.
