Master in International Business

I completed my Bachelor’s in Engineering and worked as an IT Consultant for various clients before coming to IÉSEG. The Master in International Business had a wide range of interesting courses that would enable me to explore and choose the field I wanted to get into.

I loved courses like Marketing, HR and Finance. Also, the liberty to choose electives in the 2nd semester is a huge bonus for students who want to choose subjects of their interest or in line with their career goals. Lastly, the huge alumni network speaks for itself.

I really enjoyed the International openness within the School (including students and professors). Our professors were top experts in their field and they all made sure to transfer their passion to their students.

The courses I liked most were those I could apply directly to my own business, such as marketing and financial management, for example. I also really liked the soft skills courses, such as leadership, which I feel are totally in line with the expectations and needs of our generation.

As I had already launched my own company before joining IÉSEG, I had no other career plans apart from developing my own business. At the end of my 2nd semester at IÉSEG, I opened my boutique in the Vieux Lille. At the time, I was lucky enough to have the support and guidance of people who were understanding and supportive of the issues I faced, particularly in relation to combining entrepreneurship and school.

IÉSEG also created opportunities for my company, especially through people working in the school’s Communications Department. For example, we were put in touch with the Challenges magazine team to be named one of the 100 companies to invest in in 2022, which ended up being the case!

I chose IÉSEG for its triple accreditation, its reputation in Colombia (some IÉSEG graduates have created successful companies) and because the Master in International Business offers a general and complete program, and therefore perfect for non-commercial profiles like mine, who want to learn the basics and then know which field to go into.

I loved the variety of nationalities and cultures with which it is possible to work and interact during the course at the School, both in terms of professors and students.

I particularly liked the courses in International Marketing, International Business Strategy and CSR and International Economics: they allowed me to learn the basics of business, how it works and oriented me towards what I do professionally today, marketing.

I chose the MIB specifically because the program offers a wide range of subjects in the first semester along with abundant options of electives in the second semester. I feel that the subjects which are taught in the first semester offer what an individual would need to step into management even though they might be from a different background. The transition from Humanities to Management studies was quite smooth for me during the first few months and the second semester allowed me to choose the electives which, as planned, helped me to pave the way for my career path in Human Resources.

What I enjoyed the most at IÉSEG was the multicultural aspect. I could meet so many people from different countries and understand the mindsets and diversity in general. The courses offer a real opportunity for development by including components like presentations, objective/subjective examinations, research papers etc.

I studied Tourism Management with a focus on Hospitality and worked as an Assistant Hotel Manager Trainee. After finishing my Bachelor’s, I worked half a year as an Assistant Hotel Manager before beginning my studies at IÉSEG.

I wanted to study in an international environment to strengthen my English skills while also being able to improve my French. Eventually, what convinced me completely was a discussion at a Master’s fair with an IÉSEG representative. I liked the mix of science and practical business knowledge he told me about, such as writing the final thesis about the internship.

I wanted to have a more generalist degree, since my Bachelor’s was quite specific. The Master in International Business gave me the opportunity to pursue this goal and broaden my education. Additionally, IÉSEG has a good reputation for Business degrees, which also supported my decision.
