“Previously I didn’t have much knowledge in finance and accounting as I did my master in engineering. I wanted to achieve a position in management of international projects. The program covers most subjects in management: finance, accounting, purchasing, and marketing and at the end we have a very broad view of International Business. I think the world is becoming more and more flat. Every student who is ambitious should experience international business, to know how to communicate with foreign people, to put themselves in other people’s shoes. Joining this program, with a lot of international students, means you have to adapt to other cultures. All the cross cultural exchanges are very interesting. In your professional life, you need the same qualities and this program helps to develop them and to be open-minded”.

“After my civil engineer Master’s degree from l’Ecole des Mines de Nancy, I choose ESSEC. I have been impressed by the academic excellence and the wide scope of subjects. The program is designed has real business life preparation and covers high-level management, strategy and finance. This MS has helped me to develop my long-term goals and it will also help me to compete in the current market where lots of companies are shrinking and you need to learn how to create value”.

“The program is extremely rich both academically and on the human level. I had some amazing professors who impressed me with their knowledge, their humanity and their availability. I have studied in many countries, and I think that I can fairly compare the professors I had in ESSEC with any others I had before, and I think the ESSEC professors are among the best ones I have ever had. You feel so rich when you leave this school and it’s not only because of the brand recognition.”

“The program first caught my eye in the Financial Times rankings. I liked what I saw. I didn’t particularly want to do a long program and the length, 1 year, was perfect. I went through the curriculum and I liked the courses this Advanced Master offered. It gives you a complete overview of the business environment and ESSEC is a very international school. That’s why I made this choice. There have been so many benefits of this program for me. One thing that I found very good about the program concerned the faculty members, who are very knowledgeable and very prominent people. It’s always important to be able to interact with professors and they are very approachable in ESSEC.”

“I chose this program because it was a very famous international Advanced Master, and also, because I come from Tunisia, it was an opportunity for me to discover international strategy and international management. The added value of this program is that it’s a way to discover in just one year a very wide spectrum of the subjects that you need to be a top level manager. The course is very intensive and you have to work hard, but it’s really worth it.
Concerning my career expectations, I must admit that the benefits were huge, because during my studies at engineering school, my only ambition was to be a consultant and then, with this program in ESSEC Business School, I had the opportunity to acquire many more tools and a wide scope concerning corporate finance and also management. Now I have a far wider choice of career opportunities, including strategy which I am particularly interested in.”

“I was an IT consultant for close to 5 five years before I joined this program. I chose to pursue my studies in France as I wanted a European experience on my resume. I had stayed in the US for some time, so thought it would be a different learning experience studying in Europe, learning a new language and traveling around. This program gave me some brilliant exposure, world-class professors, who are always willing to go the extra mile to help you understand and learn the concepts, career buddies for a lifetime from close to 20 different nationalities who taught me the most valuable lesson i.e. 'there is no one/particular/single solution to a problem', and a new outlook on life altogether.”
