My two years at SKEMA have been extremely enriching in complementary ways. The management foundations we learned in the first year provided me with the necessary background which I’m able to use now in my everyday job. In fact, I did not expect to use as much finance and accounting as a junior consultant in tourism. On the other hand, the second year gave me vital knowledge, vocabulary and concepts, specific to my current sector, tourism. On the Sophia Antipolis campus we have the ideal climate and the chance to make the most of it with the beaches and mountains close by. But that’s not it! I’m especially thankful for the professors, speakers and classmates I’ve had the chance to meet over the last two years. It is an undeniable advantage to start building a high quality international professional network at school. In fact, it's thanks to one of my MSc speakers, also a SKEMA alumnus, that I obtained the opportunity to work for an international consulting firm in a department specialised in tourism!
