Theoretical learning with practical application
"After the Master of Science in International Trade and Logistics, I was able to join the Amazon Logistics group as a logistics team leader. This program was a springboard and allowed me to quickly find a job in line with my career goals. I chose to complete this well-known course in order to develop my managerial skills, but also to develop a certain level of versatility allowing me to increase my employability in three different sectors: trade, logistics and transport. The diversity of the courses taught and the professionalism of the various participants are all elements that only enhance this program, combining theoretical learning with practical application through the different case studies that we cover during the year. Finally, the fact that the international aspect lies at the heart of the program and that training can be done on a work-study basis are significant assets”
A strong pillar of my development in commerce in general and specifically transportation
"This dual degree program giving access to an MSc in Maritime Management and a Master II level diploma in International Trade & Logistics has been a strong pillar of my development in commerce in general and specifically transportation, logistics, supply chain, production, but also of my understanding of governing macro-economical and geopolitical dynamics. Having already invested myself in the maritime industry prior to joining the program and upon graduation, I joined CMA CGM’s freshly created Project Cargo Division specialized in containerized breakbulk shipping, meaning the transportation of oversized and overweight commodities (heavy machinery, yachts, catamarans, trains...) aboard containerships. I strongly recommend this program to all level professionals working in international trade or prospective students seeking a diverse learning experience from field experts coming from horizons such as shipping and logistics, banking, trading, and top-level academics."
Become a competent and versatile player in international development
"The MSc offered me all the necessary skills to reach my professional goal: developing our French SMEs internationally. Holder of an M1 degree in International Trade and Emerging Countries, I chose to complete this M2 degree in a work-study program to take a first step towards the professional world and give me every opportunity on the job market. During the work-study program set up with KEDGE, I held the position of Export Sales Assistant in a Danish agri-food group specialising in fish food. My role was the administrative management, transportation and payments of all orders coming from Africa. Today Export Manager at Gourdon, a Landes company with 60 employees specialising in the manufacture of trailers and tanks for agricultural, public works and environmental applications, I participate in the promotion of our brand on the international scene on a daily basis: preparation of all the necessary tools (brochures and technical manuals, etc.), meetings with partners (freight forwarders, banks, consultants, etc.) and business development (international trade shows, trips abroad, etc.). Today we work in Northern and Eastern Europe, as well as in North and Sub-Saharan Africa. This training allowed me to acquire and consolidate skills in business development and marketing/transport and logistics/contract and transport law/banking, finance and risk management – all in an international context."
The programme educate students in a very creative way and encourage them to think out of the box
"As a person who has an engineering background, the overall experience I acquired while studying at the International Business programme was very unique and helpful for whom I want to be in my future career. What I found most rewarding was the quality of lecturers and the content of the courses. The professors of the programme educate students in a very creative way and encourage them to think out of the box to broaden their knowledge beyond their field of studies. Also, the programme has a strong international focus where students learn business principles relevant for a more global world. Having classmates of different cultures and professions, I grew as an individual, learning to interact and talk to people from different backgrounds."
The MSc has confronted us with international challenges that prepare us for tomorrow's work environment
"I joined the MSc for its broad range of disciplines, allowing to understand the global operations of a company, and its geopolitics and international law focus, providing an understanding of the global context and setting in which companies operate. I was able to complete my Master's degree with an internship at the United Nations in New York, where I joined the NGO department team, in charge of coordinating the integration of non-governmental organisations into the Economic and Social Council of the UN. The scope of the programme allows students to grow into multi-skilled graduates while at the same time preserving the client-oriented mindset, highly sought after by recruiters in all types of organisations. The programme also trains qualified, solution-oriented managers. Finally, the International Business MSc has confronted us with international challenges that prepare us for tomorrow's work environment. This master's degree has allowed me to develop my skills in teamwork and multicultural cooperation, and has increased my awareness of international and complex issues and contexts."
Adapt to complex situations and thrive in an international environment
“Cultural and multicultural diversity in the International Business MSc programme was a real plus. The teaching was delivered by top-class faculty and we had the best tools to work with. Today, I am able to adapt to complex situations and thrive in an international environment.”
A real incubator for new ideas and a springboard for start ups
“Within the programme, the Global Business Plan (GBP) enabled me to achieve my ambition of setting up a company specialising in 3D software programmes. It is a real incubator for new ideas and a springboard for start ups.”
A fantastic experience in a widely multicultural environment
“I entered the International Business programme with just the zest for challenge and desire to learn all I could and what followed was a fantastic experience in a widely multicultural environment. Team work with fellow classmates from different countries, lectures from professors with hands-on experience in incubation, geopolitics & consulting, study trips, courses through interactive gaming-like simulations etc., made the journey a true experience rather than just another academic curriculum. Dreams ahead, miles to go and very happy about the good start now.”
Enhancing employability
"This MSc offers both lectures on the fundamentals of marketing, and real study cases where you learn how to structure your communication and sell products or solutions effectively (covering topics such as brief writing, tender responses, identifying and assessing customer issues, events organisation, etc.). There are also master classes given by practising professionals, which enable students to develop a real and objective view of business realities, whether on the agency or the advertiser’s side. Finally, personalised coaching sessions enable students to enhance their employability, covering topics such as CV drafting with mentoring support from former graduates, individual and group interviews, identifying personal strengths and areas for improvement."
A solid technical foundation in marketing, communication and management
"The MSc Marketing & Brand Management allowed me to develop great creativity, a product sensibility and solid technical foundation in marketing, communication and management on the international scope. I am today the brand manager for the company JOG Swimwear. I am in charge of developing the Chinese market and I am working closely with 5 -star spa managers to develop partnerships. My integration into working life has been greatly facilitated by the professional dimension of the MSc. I keep excellent memories of my life in the Marseille campus and I’m still in touch with my school mates."
