Coralie Deleage

This MSc has provided me with insight into the tourism and event industries, with the right balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. We had lectures with outstanding teachers from all over the world. Outside the classroom, we got hands-on experience at events held on the French Riviera, and we conducted site inspections and did consulting projects for companies, as well as attending ITB Berlin, the world’s largest tourism and travel fair. I also had the opportunity to be an intern in one of the leading companies in the event industry, MCI Group, a partner of SKEMA. The internship gave me solid knowledge in my field of expertise, as well as an important professional network. SKEMA’s been a fantastic experience. It’s been an intense year and excellent preparation for the world of business. It has opened new ways of thinking about my career and I now feel ready to be a professional in the event industry. Next month, I will start my first job as abstract handling and project assistant in the institutional division of MCI Geneva.
