A Few Words About Me: I’m an aspiring data analyst who left my beautiful country “Nigeria” to gain more knowledge and skills in the field of Digital Transformation at the prestigious MBS, France with the goal of launching an international career. What I Like About The Program: I love the curriculum and the fact that we are taught by professionals and professors that are authorities in their respective fields. The program is not just aimed at students acquiring knowledge but also acquiring practical and soft skills that’ll distinguish us in the job market. One thing that stuck with me till date are the words of one of my professors, he said and I quote: “At MBS, we teach you how to learn” and that convinced me that I had made the right choice of coming to MBS. What I Like About Montpellier: I love the Montpellier weather. Besides Montpellier is a city bustling with life plus warm and welcoming people. So, if you’re looking for a city that’s not noisy with lots of interesting and vibrant places, Montpellier is the place for you.
