“MiM or MSc? Which Master’s Programme is right for you?”

[Music]

“MiM or MSc”?

 

Speaker: Lina Antelmann, MiM student.

Hi, my name is Lina Antelmann. I'm 24 years old and I am from Germany.

 

Speaker: Shraman Biswas, MSc student.

Bonjour, I'm Shraman Biwas and I'm from India

 

Chapter : My career aspirations

So prior to EDHEC, I did my Bachelor of Business Administration in Germany as part of a dual study programme. Which means I worked at a large corporation at the same time as I studied, and I decided to do the MiM (Master in Management) because for me, it was the best combination for both theoretical and practical experiences, and it allows you to first build this foundation, the general foundation, the first year. And the third year, I really have the ability to set the focus and really specialise on a topic. I have an undergraduate degree in civil engineering from Delhi Technological University, India.

Before joining the Master of Science programme at EDHEC, I was part of the start-up ecosystem in India, working as a Marketing Analyst. After working for two and half years, I was ready to join a Business School to sharpen my skills and to propel my career to the next level.
As an early career professional, it made perfect sense to join the MSc programme at EDHEC as it was a specialised programme with the duration of just one (academic) year.

What is most important to me personally, is to find a job where I can drive change actively, and where I can have an impact.There are so many challenges out there right now, in sustainability, poverty, equality, digital transformation...
Our generation probably has so many opportunities to actively have an impact and solve that. This is really something I want to focus on in my career

For example, by becoming a Business Consultant after my time at EDHEC.

Since I love numbers and have a creative approach to solving problems. I would love to work as a Digital Marketing Manager or a Product Manager at one of the biggest Tech firms or start-ups in Europe.

Chapter: My advice to candidates.
Thinking of myself in your position about one and a half year ago. The biggest advice,
that I would give you, is to take the time to figure out what it is you want to do. Second, I would say be open. Because it is good to have a plan, and I also really like to have a plan, but I also learned that sometimes things happen that are not according to your plan and sometimes it is great.
And in line with this, as my last advice, I would say, embrace being uncomfortable.
Firstly, decide on a specialisation. Figure out what you are passionate about. Is it Marketing? Finance? Or Entrepreneurship?
Having the right kind of motivation will surely help you make the most of the programme.

Secondly, do a total research on all the programmes. Look at the kind of courses EDHEC offers, connect with the professors, students and Alumni on Linkedin, and speak to them to know more about the EDHEC Master's experience and opportunities after that. Lastly, think how the MSc Programme ties in with your career objectives?
How does the knowledge you acquire throughout the programme helps you in getting your dream job or the dream company you want to work in?

I wish you a lot of luck. Fingers crossed, I'm sure you are going to find the right programme for you, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing you at EDHEC Business School.
