EDHEC International BBA, 2018 // EDHEC MSc Finance, 2019
Je suis Laeticia, diplômée EDHEC International 2018 et MSc in Finance 2019. J'ai réalisé un bac S section européenne avec mention j'ai décidé de m'orienter vers un programme post bac sans prépa ou prépa intégrée parce que je voulais directement me diriger vers un programme plus pratique et concret. Dès la première année j'ai réalisé un stage en banque en commençant par une agence BNP Paribas. Ensuite en deuxième année j'ai continué à me spécialiser en finance via un stage en contrôle de gestion chez Cooptalis, et puis à nouveau chez BNP Paribas en analyse risque crédit, et puis continuer en banque en ALM, asset and liabilities management chez HSBC France à Paris. À l'issue de mon MSc j'ai pu réalisé mon stage de fin d'études à la BNP encore une fois sur le desk Equity Finance. J'ai eu l'occasion de rejoindre dès la première année l’association Junior Entreprise de l'EDHEC BBA qui est très reconnue par les entreprises. C'est un réel atout sur le CV puisque lorsque l'on recherche le premier sage et qu'on n'a pas encore d'expérience, on peut mettre en avant sa première expérience associative qui est à la fois une expérience associative étudiante et l'expérience professionnelle. À l'issue de ma quatrième année de bachelor, on a l'opportunité de continuer et d'approfondir les connaissances qu'on a en MSc ou Master 2 dans toutes les universités. Donc moi j'ai choisi de poursuivre à l'EDHEC au sein d'un des meilleurs masters au monde, en MSc in Finance ce qui ne m'a permis d'aller encore plus loin de ce que j'avais pu voir pendant le bachelor; le tout dans un environnement encore plus international. À l'issue de mon MSc j'ai rejoint l'équipe Equity Finance de la BNP en tant que trader. C’est un milieu très compétitif, le bachelor puis le MSc m'ont permis d'avoir tous les bagages nécessaires pour accéder à ce poste de trader. À l’issue de cette première expérience en Trading Equity j'ai eu l'opportunité de rejoindre un nouveau desk de trading au sein de la BNP Paribas qui est sur un desk de trading repo à Singapour.

*Google Ads Professional (GAP) certification.
One of the characteristics of the English taught e-commerce specialisation is that certain classes are given by professors from different disciplines, such as strategy or marketing, allowing for a dual perspective and a more contextualised approach to a given topic. Students are encouraged to obtain certification, from Google, for example, to increase their employability. Some 30% of e-commerce students go abroad for their final six-month placement, to Canada, the US, Australia, Asia, and so on.

Working for the environment has fascinated me. These 6 months have been rich in project development but also in event organisation. Moreover, one of my missions focused on communicating information related to the environment and the protection of resources on different platforms. I also collected and analysed data concerning energy and waste. Finally, the aspect of the internship that interested me the most was the creation of a circular economy with one of the private actors of the island. My desire to work in the sustainable development sector was confirmed after this first experience.

Global Manager Certificate
One semester of the Global Manager Certificate is spent at one of our prestigious partner institutions in New York, Dublin, Seoul or London, where students follow the demanding International Business Management curriculum in English. This leads to the Global Manager Certificate, which is awarded in addition to your EDHEC International BBA degree and earns you the credits required to validate your Year 2-Semester 2. This programme is unique on the market and is an original and efficient way to build a career plan that is resolutely focused on international business as from year two, perhaps even followed by an internship.

I studied in New York City at Pace University (GMC) for one semester. I was able to choose a "fashion marketing" elective class, which became my favourite class to attend. Our professor invited many VIP guest speakers in class to share their knowledge and experience with us. It was a true source of inspiration and motivation to pursue my career in this marketing field. I also enjoyed our “Entrepreneurship” course. We had the chance and the honour to learn from Professor Bruce Bachenheimer. We learned a lot about taking opportunities, how to see the value in tiny things, and how to take the plunge to build a business.

I chose to do my academic exchange in Italy for the international reputation of Bocconi. Before my departure, the Study Abroad Office (SAO) of EDHEC helped me with my application, my ERASMUS scholarship request, and my choice of courses. Also, during the Beyond Borders fair, I received advice from EDHEC students who did an exchange in Italy in the past. At Bocconi, I studied with other exchange students from prestigious international schools and I could truly identify as a Bocconi student thanks to the events and activities happening on campus.
