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.

I'm from the United States and I've been here for the past two years. I chose this Master's because I thought it would be very interesting and it would give me internatrional experience. I have already spent two years in Nice and I really wanted to come back to France.

J'ai choisi ce master pour la diversité des cours proposés, et pour son année en alternance. J'aime aussi beaucoup le côté international de cette formation !

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.

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.

L’alternance est importante car elle permet de découvrir concrètement le fonctionnement de l’entreprise et de corriger quelques idées reçues avant de choisir son métier.
