Opening up to the world with a management school

Opening up to the world, mastering one or more foreign languages, discovering new cultures and adapting to varied environments: these are all skills that students can develop by joining an internationally oriented management school.

Today, business schools offer a wide range of opportunities to help students build a strong international profile, one that is particularly valued by companies. Studying abroad, courses taught in English and dual degrees are among the opportunities available to prepare for a career with a global dimension.

International profiles are in high demand among companies

Completing part of your studies abroad is a particularly enriching experience. It enables students to:

• discover new cultures,

• develop their ability to adapt,

• improve their command of foreign languages,

• work in an international environment.

At a time when many companies are expanding worldwide, recruiters are increasingly looking for profiles able to work in an international environment.

A 100% English-language pathway to stand out

Some business schools offer programmes taught entirely in English, enabling students to stand out in the job market.

Today, English has become an essential skill in many professions. Developing a bilingual profile is therefore a real asset for gaining access to positions of responsibility and considering an international career.

A study carried out by the online English school ABA English in 2018 revealed that 28% of French people felt they had missed out on professional opportunities because of an insufficient level of English. In addition, 85% of respondents considered that the demands for English in the professional world were increasingly high.

Following a course taught entirely in English thus enables students to showcase this skill on their CV and increase their chances of being recruited.

Joining prestigious universities abroad

International management schools also offer the opportunity to spend a period of study at partner universities abroad, sometimes as early as the third year.

Some schools also offer dual degrees, enabling students to:

• specialise in a particular field,

• obtain an internationally recognised degree or certificate,

• enrich their academic pathway.

Thanks to their many partnerships with foreign universities, some of them triple-accredited, management schools offer a wide choice of destinations across several continents.

This international immersion is a real asset for students wishing to build a career abroad. The cultural diversity found on campus also helps to develop a valuable international network.
