I joined EDHEC as a Grande Ecole student (Masters in Management) in 2021 opting for the gap year to enrich my work experience in Europe.
The EDHEC Alumni network is strong & diverse within Europe, allowing you to get a foot in the door of any industry you desire to enter. Personally, EDHEC alumni enlightened me on interesting professional opportunities that I couldn’t have found scouring through job boards.
Another highlight of the BS is EDHEC Career’s Centre, run by Florence Da Costa. The whole team of the Career Centre is highly engaged in maintaining an active relationship with the students, and have years of experience in helping students find professional opportunities in Europe. I used the help of the EDHEC Career Centre to help tweak my application package when I wasn’t getting any interviews and evaluating the contract for my job offer when I did receive one.
Lastly, I enjoyed the practical focus of courses at EDHEC Business School. Every course had a practical component – be it analyzing a financial statement of a company or building a marketing strategy for a consumer goods giant’s dishwashing tablets. No course is swamped by technical depth irrelevant to professional opportunities. Although you won’t finish a course being a specialist, you will be a very handy generalist. I believe that’s what most companies look for here.
