Our Students Share Their Experience
"Currently in my 3rd year of the Bachelor, I have learned so much at MBS. I first completed two years in the English-language programme, which was enriching thanks to the courses taught in English and in particular the international students and professors. I then decided to go into the work-study track in my third year. I am now a CRM Activation and Projects Manager at a fintech company in the banking sector in Paris. Work-study allows me to challenge myself every day, both professionally and personally, while discovering the reality of the working world and putting into practice everything I learned at school. It is a choice I would make again every day."
