I’m a student in PGE2 from China. I graduated from Dalian University of Foreign Languages and University Lille 3 for my double bachelor's degree. I worked 3 years (1 year in China et 2 in Africa).

For me, Montpellier is a quiet city in the south of France. It is not as noisy as Paris and very suitable for studying and living, and its cultural life is also very rich. I have always been touched by the spirit of MBS: making a difference; to develop our talents and expertise in order to become an actor in a changing world . The atmosphere of MBS is very tolerant and inclusive. This gives me more opportunities to communicate with classmates from all over the world.

PGE's course arrangement allows me to learn business knowledge more systematically. It also gave me a deeper understanding of the future direction of work.

UPCOMING EVENTS

MBS organizes several online events to introduce its Master in Management programme.

Click here to discover our page with all our upcoming online events.

The teaching carried out by MBS’s teacher-researchers aim to develop a critical thinking and prepare students to become enlightened actors of future economic, social, societal and environmental changes.

The pedagogical method and the use of online contents and activities allow the implementation of a “reverse” classroom and learning by experience approach. These teaching methods encourage involvement, autonomy and initiative.

In the third year, students build their expertise through the specialisation pathways offered by MBS or within the framework of dual degrees with French or foreign universities.

The international dimension is omnipresent in the Grande Ecole Programme through management courses in English, foreign language teaching, international orientation of academic and professional training, academic exchanges and of course the presence on campus of a growing number of students of all nationalities.

Students are prepared for professional and societal challenges through teaching that combines theory with practice, pedagogical projects that prepare them to adopt professional behaviours, a programme of internships and in-company experience that develops professional skills, know-how and interpersonal skills. The rapid integration of the Grande Ecole Programme’s graduates is based on apprenticeship, company partnerships and students support provided by the Career Centre of Montpellier Business School.

Montpellier Business School attaches a great importance to the building of the student’s personal and professional project as well as to the development of relational and behavioural competencies. The Grande Ecole Programme – Master in Management helps students follow a specific coaching programme that allows them both to identify and develop their personal skills and to choose the professional path that best suits them.
