Testimonies
The master’s degree in International Management gives you the keys to develop the professional skills and know the concepts needed in the market. During these two years, we have been focusing on themes related to Business Management including areas such as Marketing, Human Resources, Trade
and Finance. The first year teaches you the theoretical aspects of International Management. During the second year, you have the opportunity to do an apprenticeship in a company or doing a double degree with a partner university in countries such as England, Italy and Peru which I did, spending
this year in Peru. I have been consolidating my knowledge, skills and communication abilities in Esan Graduate School of Business in the Master’s Degree in Empresarial Management in Lima.
This Master Degree gives you the choice to follow your own path developing yourself as a futureleader in an international way.
During these two years we have covered many subjects, (international business as well as human relation aspects). It’s a complete Master’s degree that combines theory, practice, and meetings, with speakers but especially between us. In contact with different cultures, we develop an open mind that allows to think in different ways, we change our perspectives and opinions, we are more adaptable.
Furthermore, work training program has been a way to gain confidence in myself, my abilities, and to develop essential skills to arrive confidently on the job market.
Why did you choose to attend the International Management Master’s program at Université Catholique de Lille?
When I was in Peru, one of my dreams was to work in an international environment, talking in English-French and where I can be able to exchange with professionals from different expertise, too. For that reason, after doing a research, a Master in International Management was the best option. The Universite Catholique de Lille proposes an interesting program since the 1st year, with international professors and invited lecturers who shared their daily experience working in their fields that helped us to understand their careers and eventually, to target what it would be our field of preference later.
How did the master program prepare you for your business career?
The program proposed by the University was complete in terms of international management, and it was perfect to master different domains, such as supply chain, financing, purchasing… In my case, I appreciated the formation related to the strategic management and marketing because it helped me to discover this universe and I felt the interest in working in the development of strategic plans. This is the beginning of my career.
Can you tell us about the type of job you are doing today?
After one year doing my alternance with Leroy Merlin France in marketing, I was proposed to work for ADEO GROUP as Product Community Manager in electricity, at the Direction Synergie Produits Internationale, where I have an international profile. We evaluate all our BU’s (business units) of the 16 enterprises of our group, located in 12 countries around the world, in order to study the real needs within our markets and optimize our product strategies. That’s what we call the synergy or the “construction of international ranges”. We develop the strategic plan in 5 years for our products, and we decide if we co-develop our coming offers with our international suppliers. We also calculate the end-of-year international rebates which allows us to recover our accounting benefits at the end of the year. In other words, my job includes not only numerical and performance analysis, but also to be actively in contact with our Product Managers Leaders in different countries, where we can identify new opportunities for our business.
