It's a unique programme, with courses focusing on business, finance, negotiation, and the development of specialised skills. We have the opportunity to engage with highly qualified professionals, some of whom are prominent entrepreneurs and business directors. There is also a lot of interaction with fellow students, who come from various backgrounds and cultures. This programme treats us as professionals and entrusts us with significant responsibilities, a demanding approach that simultaneously strengthens our professional network. I am currently on a placement in a company founded by a former best sommelier in France, where I have various responsibilities related to purchasing. My long-term goal is to enter the hospitality industry within a large international group.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much about the wine and hospitality industry through this degree. This masters degree has not only provided me an in depth knowledge about different wines through theoretical knowledge, tasting but also by taking us to several vineyards to see how they are grown and harvested in real life. I am using this acquired knowledge as a stepping stone towards my dream goal of becoming a sommelier.

Since August 2022, I have been a sommelier trainee at Jean Imbert's gastronomic restaurant. I immediately fell under the charm of this prestigious hotel.
By combining the learning of the MSc Wine & Hospitality Management programme with my skills acquired at the Plaza Athénée, I was able to implement the necessary opportunities to satisfy our customers.
