This final semester is a major professional immersion in the heart of the luxury sector, in France or abroad. Students join a luxury company or brand to put into practice all the skills they have acquired throughout their specialisation, particularly in high-end marketing, retail, communication, business development and management. This hands-on experience allows them to evolve in a demanding environment where quality of service, understanding of luxury codes and premium customer relations are essential. The internship is accompanied by the writing of a professional dissertation based on a real issue encountered in the company, giving rise to an in-depth analysis and a defence before a jury. This semester represents a decisive step in the professionalisation of students and their integration into the luxury industry.
Skills developed:
-Operational application of marketing and sales strategies in the luxury sector
-Customer relationship management in a premium environment
-Understanding of the standards and practices of luxury brands
-Ability to analyse and resolve professional issues
-Applied research methodology and writing of a professional dissertation
The pedagogical approach is based on a combination of active and professionalising methods that place the student at the heart of their learning. Project-based learning plays a central role: case studies, teamwork and community projects enable students to apply theoretical concepts in real-life situations, while developing collaborative skills and analytical thinking.
This dynamic is reinforced by the co-construction of knowledge, particularly through flipped classrooms, which encourage active engagement with content, increased participation in class and greater intellectual autonomy.
The programme also incorporates hybrid learning, combining face-to-face and digital teaching methods. The use of digital tools, collaborative platforms and video resources diversifies the learning methods and provides flexibility tailored to the current needs of students.
Finally, professional immersion is an essential pillar. Internships allow students to apply what they have learned to real-world situations, understand organisational dynamics and develop the skills expected in the professional world.
Together, these elements form a coherent, stimulating and professionalising educational framework designed to effectively prepare future managers for contemporary challenges.

Diplômé de la promotion 2011, spécialité “management international”, je suis aujourd’hui directeur général de Criteo en France.
C’est une entreprise qui est capable de rivaliser avec les plus grands de la publicité en ligne, comme Google ou Facebook, et qui est même leader sur le segment de la génération de ventes en ligne pour les e-commerçants. Je suis également président de l’IAB, une organisation professionnelle qui traite des problématiques de la publicité en ligne.
Cette thématique des nouvelles technologies me passionne. Quand on est passionné, on ne compte pas ses heures, on n’a pas l’impression de travailler. Cela permet de se donner au maximum, de se dépasser et de sortir du lot.
Dans ma carrière, j’ai aussi pu m’appuyer sur l’esprit d’entreprendre que j’ai trouvé à l’EDC Paris Business School, cette envie d’avoir un impact.
