"Being able to do the MSc Finance and Global MBA Double Degree has been a life changing experience for me, both personally and professionally. The first year was key to develop a stronger knowledge of Finance, from valuations to derivatives to treasury management, and to better understand what specific sector I wanted to specialize in. During my MBA year, I was able to develop the managerial skill that are necessary to rise to the top faster, also by confronting myself and connecting with more experienced professionals from a diverse number of industries. Thanks to these two years I have become a better, more complete, version of myself. I would recommend this track to anyone interested in embarking in a challenging but fun and rewarding adventure, with the added benefit of a“We had a huge number of topics to learn in Master 1 and I think the highlight is that we learnt them with real projects. Especially when companies joined the academic programme and asked us to challenge ourselves with real-life business cases. Therefore, I think it is important to be mentally prepared that at EDHEC you have to learn fast and always be well-prepared to put your knowledge into practice. It is evidently easier for students who have a background in management. We all keep an eye on the rankings each year and pay a special attention to the slight changes happening for schools that ranked closer to us.I know that my programme, MSc in Data Analytics & Artificial Intelligence, is ranked 2^nd in France, and that Master in Management programme is ranked 16^th from FT global statistics this year. Those achievements demonstrate well our strength and brings many potential values to the diploma to be obtained later”.living in the Cote d’Azur for a while."
