Testimonials
Léo joined the course to pursue his interest in cultures of all kinds and the manner in which these complement each other. He loves different places and multidisciplinary events, with the theme of his dissertation being music festivals in Vietnam. It was therefore quite natural that he should join Ulule to help make musical projects a reality, including providing support for artists and organising crowd funding strategies, etc. The skills required include open-mindedness, natural curiosity, a sense of initiative and perseverance.
“This MSc has developed my knowledge of finance theory with practical applications and research tools. The facilities and equipment used on the programme are of the highest standard, giving me access to the most innovative tools available. This includes a dedicated Reuters trading room facility and a range of databases. I have developed my knowledge and understanding of corporate finance, financial markets and how they impact on decision-making finance. The programme also contains a strong quantitative content with practical applications. As part of the programme, I had also the opportunity to complete the AMF Certification (French Financial Authority) – an industry-recognized professional qualification.”
Having graduating already with a Master in business law from the University of Strasbourg, adding the KEDGE MSc to my education gave me the opportunity to deepen my theoretical knowledge thanks to the diversity and innovation offered during the programme and to the quality of the speakers. Thank to the MSc I performed better on financial issues in my first job in the market activities of Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale. After my success at the three levels of the CFA Programme, I had the opportunity to join the Crédit Mutuel Federative Bank in order to support and analyse external growth projects within the Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale.
“At the end of a university course (bac+5) I was looking for additional training, provided by external speakers
and in English, to better understand the expectations of companies. After two internships lasting 6 months
in structured finance and merger acquisition, I joined Crédit Agricole Régions Investissement as a private
equity analyst. This MSc has perfectly met my expectations, bringing me the technical skills necessary
to access a first position in Corporate Finance.”
Although his first love was music, Sebastien used the links within the creative industries and a declining culture industry to move into the video games sector: the leading cultural product sold in France. He developed his marketing expertise in this environment with the Assassin's Creed brand, and now has the new challenge of managing the Just Dance brand within Ubisoft Europe.
This MSc year was a rewarding experience after spending my first two years in the programme Grande École in the Junior-Entreprise Marketing Méditerranée. During the first 6 months of my studies, I was able to deepen the theoretical knowledge that I started to study during my gap year (6 months Auditing Major Accounts, 6 months in M & A in a pharmaceutical company). The opportunity to work with students who have had various professional experiences, participation in ESG conferences and the quality of the teaching staff quickly improve my profile. I finished my programme with an internship in ECM. To date, I use the know-how and skills I learned during the MSc at BRED Banque Populaire on a daily basis in the transfer-transmission business with SMEs. I am still in touch with the members of my class and it is always a pleasure to meet and share our experiences
because the strength of this program is its network.”
Organisations are experiencing new sustainability challenges that need to be addressed. Until recently, these challenges could be solved by relying on organisational skills, but they are now getting increasingly complex and require agility and leadership skills, which is precisely what this MSc prepares you for as it seeks to drive the change of tomorrow.
“The Specialized course "Management of Arts and Creative Industries" was a massive plus: (…) on a professional level, recruiters were impressed; I always made sure I showed it off.” He owes his career to his conscientious work ethic, coupled with his good looks. Far removed from both the typical model and the average business school student at the start of his career, Morys steered away from the beaten track to claim his own unique style. On a university exchange to Berlin in 2015, Morys drew inspiration from those he met and quickly built himself a network in the microcosm of fashion.
“As an engineering undergraduate from India, I always wanted to pursue a graduate degree in management in a way that would support my engineering background. When I got to Toulon, I was not very fluent in French. But the International Relations team here helped me out right from the start in everything from welcome services to making sure my stay here in Toulon was comfortable. The professors here are simply the best I’ve ever had. We had frequent get-togethers with fellow French students in and around the campus – which was the best part of our intercultural integration for students from a variety of countries and cultures. Apart from the curriculum and the ultra-perfect facilities, the city itself is beautiful and unique. I am proud to be a student at KEDGE Business School Toulon.”
"When I came to France, I was not really sure what to expect and how post-grad will be like abroad. But it was the right decision to choose KEDGE Business School, especially Toulon campus as it was located in a nice city in the south of France with lots of beaches nearby, perfect weather (not too cold during winter), and rich in culture and naval history. During free time, it is always a good idea to explore the city. Toulon is packed with lots of activities and events happening in every corner that will suit everyone’s taste, and what makes it better is that most of these are free!
At Kedge BS, the learning experience is different. It's a combination of theoretical and hands-on learning based on actual working experiences and presented in different teaching styles using high-tech facilities. They even have a program that focuses on the wellness of the students’ well-being. Everything went smoothly, and adapting to a new environment was not that difficult thanks to the people who helped me go through it. I am very fortunate for having Kedge BS professors and staff, including the French students who were always approachable and helpful through every step of the way. They would try to speak English whenever they can which made communication a lot easier. Overall, this study-abroad experience has been great and I am looking forward to learning the French language and not having to use translation apps in the future."
