I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the Project and Program Management program at SKEMA. The training allowed me to better understand the different dimensions of project management, from defining objectives to steering and monitoring execution.

The numerous group projects also provide genuine collaborative experience, closely resembling situations encountered in the professional world.
SKEMA’s international environment is a real asset, with students from diverse backgrounds enriching discussions and projects. This program has allowed me to strengthen my skills and gain a better understanding of the challenges related to project and program management.
A very positive experience that prepared me well for the rest of my professional career.
View moreAfter spending one year in Lille and on in Antibes both at Skema Business School I am happy to share my experience. I has been an amazing journey surrounded lot of international students with a huge support of the professors team. Classes were interactive and very useful.
TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT
My four years at SKEMA gave me the opportunity to learn both in and outside the classroom. The student clubs were an important part of my experience, especially Ateliê, the fashion club in Brazil, where I had the chance to work directly with major Brazilian brands and gain practical experience. I also spent one year studying at EADA in Barcelona, where I met people from different countries and built friendships with students from Europe and the North America. The courses, combined with professors from different nationalities and professional backgrounds, brought different perspectives to my learning and prepared me for an international career.
View moreOverall, my experience at SKEMA was truly enriching. The faculty is composed of professionals who anchor their teaching in real cases and concrete industry challenges. They are genuinely committed to helping students progress and reach the next stage of their careers.
On a personal level, SKEMA offered much more than academics: I built genuine friendships and enjoyed memorable moments through campus life, associations, and events.
I really cherish and enjoyed my final exchange year at SKEMA Business School, Raleigh. There are tonnes of sports, career events, clubs and activities to join!
Great opportunity for networking and also making deep friendships along the way.
Class timings were very student-friendly. Even the professors and lecturers were insightful and interactive
My four years at skema were amazing as the classes were really interesting and international mobility helped me disover new cultures and new friends. I think skema has the perfect mix of diversity and great teachers. Would highly recommend.
View moreSkema is obivously a super good university as well, I did my last year in Sophia and it was great, it went so fast tho… For sure, just after South Africa it was not that easy to study in France ahah but it was my first time in France after many years so I was also glad to be back. I was in finance and the teachers of finance Mr Blanc and Mr Souhail were absolutely amazing !! Thanks to them I really liked what we’ve done so far. Obviously it’s not like EADA, they are a lots of French students and not that much international students like I was used to in EADA, but overall obviously I’ll recommend Skema which is a super school, with great teachers and facilities !
View moreStudent associations are a key part of the SKEMA experience. Beyond academic courses, they provide unique opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, communication, and project management skills in a real-world environment. Getting involved in campus life allows students to build strong friendships, expand their professional network, and gain valuable experience that employers highly appreciate. For me, participating in student associations has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my studies, helping me grow both personally and professionally while creating unforgettable memories.
View moreI am currently studying in SKEMA BS and can’t stress enough how good I feel about studying there. Great french campuses (especially Lille for student life), great teachers and fantastic classmates and friends. The best opportunity I had was to travel to Suzhou to study during two semesters, which made me realize that I wanted to work in international business. And now SKEMA’s alumni network immensely contributes to my job search !
View moreI completed the MS “AI Project Manager” at SKEMA Business School through a work-study program, which allowed me to complement the academic learning with hands-on experience in a professional environment.
What makes this program particularly valuable is its strong focus on the practical application of AI in business contexts. Rather than concentrating solely on technical development, it emphasizes understanding business needs, managing projects, and driving the adoption of AI-powered tools.
The courses provide a solid foundation to bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders, with a clear focus on making AI solutions useful, understandable, and impactful.
