SHARMA Monish Trade Coordinator, UBIFRANCE, Class 2015, INDIA

“I had done my 1st semester online from India and 2nd on the campus. This hybrid programme gave me the benefit of preparing myself beforehand to the courses prerequisites before getting onto the campus. It also allowed me to get used to the French language and culture beforehand. Immediately at the end of my course I was recruited by Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank in Paris as an intern. Within 30 days after being back to India, I started working with the French Embassy.”

The strength of this program is its network - KEDGE

The strength of this program is its network Edouard BARRET Small-Cap M&A Analyst at Bred, Class 2017

This MSc year was a rewarding experience after spending my first two years in the programme Grande École in the Junior-Entreprise Marketing Méditerranée. During the first 6 months of my studies, I was able to deepen the theoretical knowledge that I started to study during my gap year (6 months Auditing Major Accounts, 6 months in M & A in a pharmaceutical company). The opportunity to work with students who have had various professional experiences, participation in ESG conferences and the quality of the teaching staff quickly improve my profile. I finished my programme with an internship in ECM. To date, I use the know-how and skills I learned during the MSc at BRED Banque Populaire on a daily basis in the transfer-transmission business with SMEs. I am still in touch with the members of my class and it is always a pleasure to meet and share our experiences
because the strength of this program is its network.”

The opportunity to deepen my theoretical knowledge - KEDGE

The opportunity to deepen my theoretical knowledge Maxime EBMEYER Corporate Development, M&A Project Manager at Crédit Mutuel, Promotion 2014

Having graduating already with a Master in business law from the University of Strasbourg, adding the KEDGE MSc to my education gave me the opportunity to deepen my theoretical knowledge thanks to the diversity and innovation offered during the programme and to the quality of the speakers. Thank to the MSc I performed better on financial issues in my first job in the market activities of Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale. After my success at the three levels of the CFA Programme, I had the opportunity to join the Crédit Mutuel Federative Bank in order to support and analyse external growth projects within the Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale.

Technical skills Nicolas Séron Private Equity Analyst at CARVEST – Class 2016

“At the end of a university course (bac+5) I was looking for additional training, provided by external speakers
and in English, to better understand the expectations of companies. After two internships lasting 6 months
in structured finance and merger acquisition, I joined Crédit Agricole Régions Investissement as a private
equity analyst. This MSc has perfectly met my expectations, bringing me the technical skills necessary
to access a first position in Corporate Finance.”
