Class of 2019-20 "My MSc Global Luxury and Management journey helped me to acquire indispensable skills and knowledge to work not only in luxury but also in other industries.   Doing the master degrees in two countries, the United States and France, leveraged my cross-cultural communication and made me more open-minded to diverse points of view.   All the courses and industry experts inspired me through practical case studies, challenging group work and insightful discussion for future career pathways. In particular, since I did not have much experience in anything but retail and sales, courses for marketing/ data analysis, branding, digital marketing and network events developed my opportunities in new interests and positions. Thanks to these experiences, I am now starting my internship in marketing in Danone, well known as a leading global food and beverage company. I believe that this internship is the chance to enhance my marketing skills and to combine knowledge related to luxury with a different industry to create new value.   Without question, this MSc has marked a turning point in my life.
