Master in Management - Batch of 2027
3.5
Finding part-time work can be challenging.
Tips: Students should be adaptable and open to facing basic challenges while living there. The French system can be a bit demanding, but they are willing to help. The weather is generally good, but if you dislike winter, it can be challenging, so ensure you have a suitable winter wardrobe for layering.
Likes (Public transportation): The connectivity is great in France. However, punctuality is key; even a minute can matter. You'll need patience to navigate everything. While the European culture encourages walking, public transport is readily available. For students, Uber is expensive, but the metro and buses are very affordable.
Dislikes (Part time work): As a non-native French speaker, finding part-time work can be challenging, especially outside of Paris. Class schedules can also make it difficult to balance work and academics. While part-time work is possible, it requires looking for positions in areas with fewer French-speaking requirements.

Great global exposure for students.
Tips: It was initially challenging, but I made a great group of friends, which made things easier. The only cultural adjustment I faced was the language. I recommend that all students coming to France learn French to at least a B1 level. I applied late, so the only scholarship I received was the Excellence Scholarship of 4000 euros from NEOMA, but there are many other government scholarships available, such as the Eiffel Scholarship. I am content with how things turned out; there were ups and downs, but that's part of the journey. Lastly, I would advise students coming to France to study to keep an open mind and enjoy the process.
Likes (Student Life): A typical day in college started with classes in bright, comfortable classrooms that made learning enjoyable. One of my favourite things about the campus was how green and open it was. Between lectures, I loved walking through the forested area, which was peaceful and refreshing. Since the college was located on a hill, there was also a scenic spot nearby with a stunning view of the town below. Spending time there, especially during sunsets, was one of my favourite ways to relax. The campus had lively events, like spring, autumn, winter, Valentine's Day, music, Earth Day, club selections, and promotion events; I attended almost all of them. We also celebrated Indian festivals. There were communities for almost everything, including dance, music, sports, photography, charity, Honeybee, and food.
Dislikes (Indian Food): International food options, including Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, French, Moroccan, Japanese, and Korean cuisine, are readily available. Prices typically range from 10 to 20 euros, depending on your spending. I cook more often as a vegetarian, as it's cheaper, but Paris offers a wider variety of vegetarian options.

Good experience yet challenging.
Tips: Before coming to France, be aware that the language can be a significant barrier. Learning French is highly recommended as English is not widely spoken, which can make it difficult to find internships or jobs. Beyond the language, there are some cultural differences, such as around mealtimes and maintaining silence in public spaces, but these are generally easy to adjust to.
Likes (Safety): There have been a few instances of catcalling and muggings, especially at night, making it not ideal safety-wise, but the college ensures the safety and security of all students while they are on campus. Rouen is a good city to live in, with easy access to transportation facilities.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are limited on-campus job opportunities, such as student ambassador roles, which don't arise frequently, making them hard to secure. Off-campus options include cafes, restaurants, and delivery services, and it's possible to balance these with academics, with decent pay.

A great learning experience with real-world challenges.
Tips: The school has a strong reputation in France and Europe, especially for business and management. Classes are quite practical, with a lot of group projects and case studies. So be ready for teamwork. Career Services are very active, but internships and jobs usually require at least conversational French. If you don't already speak it, I'd recommend starting before you arrive. Cost of living in cities like Rouen or Reims is lower than in Paris, but you still expect 800-1,000 per month for rent, food, and transport. Coming here was definitely an adjustment. The teaching style is different; professors expect you to participate actively and manage projects independently. The cultural shift was real too: French people value their work-life balance, lunch breaks are sacred, and everything movies a little lower than what I was used to. At first, the language barrier made day-to-day things like shopping, paperwork, or even ordering food tricky, but over time, I adapted. It also pushed me to learn French faster. Scholarships. NEOMA does offer merit-based scholarships. In my case, I applied during admission and got a partial tuition fee waiver based on my academic background. The allowance varies, but it usually reduces a portion of your tuition instead of giving you monthly cash. It helped me cut down the overall cost, but you still need to budget for living expenses.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): France does give international students a fair pathway to stay back if they want to. After finishing studies, you can usually apply for a "job seeker" or "temporary residence permit" to look for work, and once you land a full-time contract, you can move towards longer-term visas. Over time, this can lead to permanent residence if you stay around and meet the requirements. It depends on getting a good job, preferably in a sector that's in demand, and being comfortable with the French language. Without French, the options narrow down a lot. With French, your chances improve significantly. Personally, I would consider it if I find the right job and settle into the culture. France has good work-life balance, healthcare, and social security benefits. That said, it's not super easy; bureaucracy and language are big hurdles. But if the career opportunities line up, I'd definitely think about staying.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs at NEOMA are quite limited. While some positions, like library assistant or research support may be available, these are rare and generally given to students fluent in both French and English . Many students report that there are practically no consistent on-campus roles. International students in France are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week. NEOMA's career services and talent and career development office provide useful guidance, job postings, and networking opportunities, which help students find off-campus work in retail, hospitality, events, tutoring, or administrative support. That said, the biggest deciding factor is French language ability. Students with conversational French find it much easier to secure jobs, while those without it may struggle. Most students agree that part-time work is manageable alongside academics if planned well. The programs are intensive, but there is enough flexibility for motivated students to dedicated a few hours a week to work. Students who can manage their time effectively and especially those who are bilingual tend to balance both without much difficult. The typical hourly wage for part-time jobs ranges between 10-15, with an average of about 12.50 per hour. At the maximum permitted 20 hours per week, students can earn up to around 1,000 per month. This can help cover day-to-day expenses, though it may not be enough to cover tuition or major living cost entirely.

The school offers merit and need based scholarships for students during admission.
Tips: Before joining NEOMA Business School, students should know that the M.Sc. in Business Analytics is an intensive programme requiring strong commitment to projects, group work, and continuous learning. The transition to France was both exciting and challenging, as I had to adapt to a new culture, academic environment, and daily lifestyle. There was definitely a cultural shift in terms of language, food habits, and social interactions, but it also enriched my global perspective. I did not avail any scholarships, though the school offers merit- and need-based options that students can explore during admission. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the university, the course content, and living in France, as it has helped me grow both academically and personally.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors at NEOMA Business School are highly knowledgeable and experienced, especially in the fields of analytics, management, and technology. The faculty members are approachable and willing to clarify doubts during and after class, which makes learning more engaging. Their teaching methodology is interactive, combining theory with case studies, hands-on projects, and industry tools, which helps us understand real-world applications. I also appreciate the use of group work and simulations that encourage collaboration. The teaching faculty is fairly diverse, with professors from different nationalities and academic backgrounds, which adds valuable global perspectives to the programme.
Dislikes (Part time work): Opportunities are limited in Rouen. On-campus jobs at NEOMA are rare, mainly administrative or event-based, and not regularly available. Off-campus options are mainly in restaurants, supermarkets, or delivery services, but they require fluent French, which can be a barrier for international students. Managing part-time work with an M.Sc. in Business Analytics is challenging, given the demanding course with projects, group work, and continuous assessment. The average payout ranges from €10-12 per hour, which helps with small expenses but is insufficient to cover major living costs.

Peaceful and adaptable but need personal efforts.
Tips: It's very easy to adjust, very peaceful. I did not get any scholarships, but some students did. It depends on the students - when they apply and how they perform in the interview. I am satisfied with the University and the country, but I felt I didn't learn much in the course; it depends on personal skills.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is convenient and affordable for students. On Saturdays in Rouen, transportation is free, as it is during festivals. Students can also rent bikes for 12 to 14 euros per month through the "My Astuce" network. For students under 26, the transport card costs 20 euros per month.
Dislikes (Part time work): Finding part-time work in Rouen is difficult. If you manage to secure a position, a basic knowledge of French (B1 level) is required. The minimum wage is around 9 to 11 euros, and it's challenging to balance this with daily classes and academic requirements.

The city isn't very touristy, so part-time jobs are mainly for French speakers.
Tips: Networking is crucial for internships; prepare to submit 200-300 applications. Consider the Paris campus for a better city life, as the current location is a disadvantage. Also, be aware that this is a business school, so don't expect a typical university experience.
Likes (Value for money): NEOMA is ranked 7th in French business school rankings. Compared to other schools in a similar ranking, 5th-10th, it's the most affordable for both the MIM and M.Sc. programs. The Rouen campus, located in Mont-Saint-Aignan, is also quite affordable, and scholarships of 50/100% of tuition fees are available for those with a solid profile.
Dislikes (Part time work): The city isn't very touristy, so part-time jobs are mainly for French speakers. Unless you have at least a B1 level of French, finding a part-time job will be difficult. Some people manage to get cleaning jobs in hotels, but these are very rare, and you need to be lucky. The average pay is 10-12 EUR per hour.

Commercial and quite expensive. Public universities offer more diversity.
Tips: It's quite expensive; however, you can find more affordable colleges in France. You can find part-time work there to help pay for your college fees, which can lead to a debt-free life and allow you to focus on your career. Even so, many people find it best to stay in India, learn a relevant course, and pursue opportunities there.
Likes (Safety): Police are readily available, and you can contact them quickly. They are very helpful, even if you don't speak French. Just be sure to follow the rules.
Dislikes (Part time work): You need to speak fluent French; people won't accept you otherwise. In France, if you speak English, they may feel insecure or offended, as they dislike American and English men. So, knowing French is a basic rule. If you know French, you can make the most of it compared to other English-speaking countries.

Had the best time meeting new people, networking and improving my French.
Tips: It was relatively easy for me because I had a background of being surrounded by people from different countries. I also knew about the country in general through a close online friend long before coming to France, which gave me conversation starters on various topics like history, food, culture, different French cities, and even some politics. Being open-minded, kind, and curious is key to building relationships in a multicultural environment like NEOMA. I received a scholarship of 3,500 euros from NEOMA as part of their excellence program. Overall, I had a great experience at the university; in my first year, I met the best people, and the following year, I focused on strengthening professional connections, including with professors.
Likes (Student Life): Met amazing people from all over the world, mostly from Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Eastern Europe, South America, the USA, Mexico, and East Asian countries like China, Singapore, and Korea. They mostly came for an Erasmus exchange, and I had the best time experiencing cultural exchange and forming great friendships. I got a chance to work on group projects with people from all over, and some classes were very interactive, using innovative and immersive teaching methods. NEOMA taught me the power of networking, thanks to which I landed an amazing internship. I mostly went to Cultural Co. parties organised by a student association. I was also a part of Digital and Teach, AIESEC in Rouen, and I was the program representative for my M.Sc.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very limited options for Indian food, and what exists is expensive and not authentic. Some options do exist, though they are limited and not great. I mostly prefer cooking Indian food myself because of the cost, authentic recipes, and ingredients.

There is always a language barrier; you need a minimum B2 level of French for part-time jobs.
Tips: The university is very welcoming to students from all cultural backgrounds worldwide. There are many clubs and student organisations. I didn't receive any scholarships. I would give the university a 10/10 for the course syllabus; the faculty are extremely knowledgeable. When considering the country, you definitely need to learn French; otherwise, it will be very difficult to survive.
Likes (Safety): The city is very safe; there is little theft or robbery, unlike in Paris. Women can walk around safely at night in Reims. On campus, security checks every student's bag, and there are cameras throughout. There's also a night transportation service you can book for added safety.
Dislikes (Part time work): There is always a language barrier; you need a minimum B2 level of French for part-time jobs in Reims. Unlike Paris, there are no English-speaking jobs available, so if you can't communicate properly in French, it will be very difficult to find part-time work.

Tips: The language barrier is a major concern for many international students, but overall, it's a good choice. Experiencing a cultural shift was a new and eye-opening experience, as it was my first international trip, allowing me to see the major differences between my home country and France.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are very friendly and approachable, especially for students facing language barriers. They teach exclusively in English, which is excellent, and are always willing to clarify doubts and provide repeated explanations. Overall, their teaching methodology is highly appreciated.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many good restaurants, but Indian cuisine options are limited. As the Indian population is small, there are only a few restaurants that offer Indian food. However, if you enjoy cooking, you can easily prepare meals at home. Indian spices are readily available, so it's not a difficult task.

Valuable networking events, and well-structured career programs.
Tips: Students should learn basic French before arriving, as it facilitates interaction outside the classroom. Adapting to the extreme cold weather and an independent lifestyle was the biggest adjustment. I received a 1500 Euro scholarship from the university, recognising my academic profile.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee is justified due to the quality of lectures, engaging student life, valuable networking events, and well-structured career programs. The university also provides excellent additional support, including academic guidance, career counseling, and personal development resources. These aspects make the investment worthwhile and rewarding.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are several Indian restaurants in the area offering a variety of dishes, but the prices are slightly higher for regular dining. Therefore, I usually prefer cooking at home, which is more budget-friendly and healthier. Fortunately, there are well-stocked Indian grocery stores nearby where I can easily find all the essential spices, ingredients, and other items needed to prepare authentic meals from my country.

A globally enriching experience with strong academics and cultural growth.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware that while NEOMA offers a truly international learning environment, adapting to life in Reims requires some preparation, especially regarding language, as day-to-day life is much easier with at least basic French. The transition here was exciting but involved a noticeable cultural shift: social interactions, classroom participation, and even dining habits are quite different from my home country, with more emphasis on punctuality, self-initiative, and independent work. I did not avail any scholarships personally, but the school and external organisations do offer merit-based and need-based options, some covering partial tuition and others providing monthly allowances. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my university, course, and country.
Likes (Public transportation): Reims offers a reliable, well-organised, and affordable network of trams and buses that makes commuting simple and stress-free. The campus is well connected to the rest of the city, with the main tram line passing nearby and providing direct access to the city centre, train station, and other key areas, while buses and public bike rentals add flexibility for reaching different neighbourhoods. A single ride costs around 1.60, and discounted student passes make it even more budget-friendly. The services are punctual, clean, and safe, with good frequency throughout the day, ensuring convenience for both daily travel and occasional trips.
Dislikes (Indian Food): In Reims, the availability of authentic Indian food is very limited. Most restaurants that advertise themselves as Indian are actually run by Pakistani owners. While this is not an issue in itself, the preparation style, choice of spices, and overall flavour are quite different from genuine Indian cuisine. As a result, it's difficult to find the authentic taste, variety, and quality I am used to from my home country.

Great college for learning.
Tips: Make sure you are certain about your decision. If possible, opt for a one-year course. Apply for scholarships early, including Early Bird, Charpak, and Merit scholarships. Consider staying in Paris, as it offers a richer experience compared to smaller cities. Work hard and pursue your goals. Everything will be okay; Paris will challenge you, but it will be worthwhile.
Likes (Safety): There is solid security and proper entry measures at the gate, making it safe for students. Overall, it's good, but the city gets quiet after 8 PM, so plan your evenings accordingly. Public transport options are limited after midnight, and booking a cab is usually not feasible or safe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It's generally better to eat out or work, as even groceries are very expensive. This is just my personal opinion, though. It depends on your lifestyle. There are many tiffin services, Indian cloud kitchens, and government-subsidised, lower-priced groceries available.

Due to the language barrier, it's difficult to find part-time work.
Tips: Be prepared for significant cultural differences and exercise caution. You need to be brave and face any challenges that arise. NEOMA offers scholarships, but you must apply for them by requesting a form; they are worth around 3000 euros. You can also apply for government scholarships. While I am satisfied with my school and the country, I am not as pleased with the internship opportunities.
Likes (Student Life): The university offers a wide array of activities, including Crous, allowing students to participate in various events. Daily life on campus is enjoyable, with numerous student activities and selections. There are plays and music, especially during the fresher events. Student-organised committees plan events, and students can get involved in various committees.

There are limited part-time opportunities in this small, French-speaking town.
Tips: It's a fun place with lots of clubs and parties. The exams aren't as stressful as in India. There's a lot of time to engage in other activities and join clubs. If you have over 70% in your previous degree, you can apply for scholarships. The country is peaceful, as are the people in Reims. The countryside is very charming.
Likes (Student Life): There are no full-time classes, except for a few days a week. The faculty is relaxed, and there are many clubs, including sports, arts, music, and student unions, among others.

Cars and traffic rules should be maintained properly. A fine of 15 euros will be charged for violating transport rules, as I found out when I forgot to recharge mine.
Dislikes (Part time work): French is essential for part-time jobs, making it difficult to find them in Reims. Even if you manage to get one, the chances for Indians are slim. The minimum part-time wage is 600 euros per month, but expenses are significantly higher. Managing visa and related procedures is challenging, so prepare well in advance.

Amazing culture, excellent transportation facilities and great faculty.
Tips: France has an amazing culture, and Indians will certainly appreciate it. You'll find people from all over the world here. Neoma offers scholarships, including an early bird scholarship worth around 1000 euros. I am very satisfied with the institution, and they have an excellent faculty.
Likes (Public transportation): The country offers excellent public transportation with a student monthly pass for 20 euros, allowing easy city access. A nearby high-speed rail network also means many students commute from Paris to Reims.
Dislikes (Part time work): Most shops prefer French speakers, but Paris has many part-time opportunities due to Indian stores and English-speaking customers. Reims, however, is more difficult. The working hours are reasonable considering the course load.

A friendly and academic-oriented experience.
Tips: Students are going to get the best experience possible if they try to relax and learn a little French before coming. I also had a scholarship through my university, which gave me a 10,000 EUR discount on my tuition fees. I think the most unique aspect is their blend of practical and theoretical learning. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experience.
Likes (Safety): I have a strong network within the college and study there daily. I've joined two student associations, TEDx and Open Up. I most enjoy the social aspect and friendships. There are events throughout the year, whether festivals, soirees, or special events, and they are all great.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty are very well-qualified and always available to help. They have a good study curriculum. While most teachers are French, they have extensive international experience and speak English well.

Intense courses, active campus life, and early scholarship wins.
Tips: If you're considering applying, do it early. The university has strict deadlines for scholarship applications, and applying before March significantly increases your chances. In fact, almost everyone who applies before this date receives one. The courses are rigorous and demand independent preparation. Don't expect an easy pace - you'll need to research topics in advance to get the most out of your classes. Make it a habit to read textbooks from the library and watch YouTube lectures. The campus stays vibrant well into the evening, with students around until at least 8 p.m. most days. There's always something going on, whether it's study groups, events, or casual meet-ups.
Likes (Post study jobs): Most companies offer visa sponsorship, but the job market is competitive, so expect to send out hundreds of applications before getting a response. Many roles require at least some French, but the university offers language classes to help, and reaching B1 from a beginner level is very achievable. The career centre also provides strong support with CVs, job searches, and interview preparations.
Dislikes (Part time work): The academic workload is intense, so most students choose not to take up part-time jobs. I am not aware of any on-campus opportunities, but there are restaurants and bars nearby where you can find work. The college doesn't place any restrictions on part-time employment as long as it doesn't interfere with your studies.

It is a great university with a diverse faculty and a beautiful campus.
Tips: You need to know French. This is the only requirement if you want equal opportunities as other students. It is not a good-to-have requirement. I emphasise that students who do not speak or understand the language should refrain from applying to the institution.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is extremely helpful to international students, they are very responsive and do care about the welfare of the students. You can always write to them or book an appointment at the office for any issues. Their measure to ensure student needs are well looked after is very high.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus is located in a town outside of Lille called Roubaix, due to the high concentration of immigrants the city is not safe for children. There have been several instances of theft and being held at knifepoint for money. It is not recommended to step out alone after dark as the streets are not safe but if you live in Lille then it is okay.

EDHEC is swiftly rising up the ranks because of the student career centre.
Tips: I recommend learning basic French before attending EDHEC Business School. While it's possible to get by without French, it's the only way to fully integrate into French culture. EDHEC offers many scholarships, which are easy to apply for and receive. I've received multiple job offers even before graduation because of EDHEC's reputation in France.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty both visiting and permanent are Masters of their fields. The pedagogy is to learn while you're practicing, so you understand concepts rather than mugging them. The faculty is very approachable and you can meet them anytime with an appointment. They are very diverse and are from all around the world.
Dislikes (Part time work): If you don't speak French, it's difficult to find part-time jobs off campus. However, on campus you can apply for TA positions and internships that pay well. If you don't speak French, you can work in Indian restaurants off campus, which pay around 100-150.

EDHEC Business School has everything to offer to your personal & professional growth.
Tips: Students should be open to exploring people, food, culture, etc. Your cohort will be diverse and will be equally talented as you. Be open to learning new things, on a professional and personal level. Double down on your French language proficiency. Although you will be all right speaking English to integrate better within the campus and the city, make a serious effort to learn French. This will help boost your professional side as well during the job interviews. 
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very convenient to get by in and around the city. There are buses, tramways, and metros to help you travel seamlessly. Also, one single transport card would be sufficient to travel anywhere in the Lille metropolitan area. With the student discount available on the transport card, it is the most optimal way to go. 
Dislikes (Indian Food): No issues, particularly if you cook your food. When planning to eat out, although there are several Indian restaurants in Lille, the taste will not be close to what you might be used to eating back home. A majority of the Indian restaurants here are run by people from our neighbouring countries, so if you go there expecting an authentic taste of Indian food, you might be disappointed. That being said, those are the only options, so you might try them as well.

The college is good but lacks in providing student life.
Tips: French people are nice here, they can be a bit among themselves but if you make the effort, they can be nice to you. I got the EDHEC 15% scholarship, almost like everyone else in my batch. I am satisfied, it was what I expected, and it taught me things I am thankful for.
Likes (Indian Food): I was able to find Indian food at several restaurants in the area. The prices were a bit of a shock, but I was able to find what I was looking for. The grocery stores only had Chole (Pois Choices) and Rajma (Haricots), but I was able to find some Indian and Asian stores that had a wider selection.
Dislikes (Student Life): The sports facilities are reserved for French students. The slots provided always crash with mandatory French classes for international students. On raising this issue with authorities, was told to focus on learning French, as apparently, sports are not important enough.

Good city with good networking opportunities.
Tips: Before joining EDHEC, students should know that there is a language barrier and that they'll be studying in an international environment. The course is good, with a focus on both corporate and market finance. Do give a GMAT for scholarships. The public transportation is very good, especially for the Nice campus. Finally, the education is excellent, and you'll learn a lot.

You will get to learn a lot about business and diverse cultures.
Tips: Students should know that learning French should be a priority. Be prepared for a new experience in your academic life. It's different from India's academic structure. Coming from India, you would find everything expensive here, so you should learn how to cook, especially if you are a Vegetarian.
Likes (Public transportation): Good connections of bus, tram and metro. Lille is very cheap, you can buy monthly travel passes which could cost around 20-30 Euros. They are also safe and convenient. For students it is very cheap and the best mode of transportation. City Mapper and Google Maps, work well for assistance.
Dislikes (Internships): The guidelines given by the Career Centre were good but there is a huge language barrier in France. You should start connecting with your seniors and other alumni. They will give proper guidance on how Indians can land an internship in France or Europe.

The student life at EDHEC is great.
Tips: Students should be aware of the importance of knowing the French language and how people meet and greet in general is different. The school does provide scholarships for 10-50% of the total tuition fees. I am feeling optimistic about the opportunities that the school and the country provide and feel happy with the experience so far.
Likes (Internships): Almost every Indian that I know have received internships in good brands and the career centre did help us a lot to receive the internship. The internships vary from consulting to banking to marketing and also human resources, the opportunities are endless but we just have to understand a bit about the right door to knock at.
Dislikes (Part time work): There was a huge language barrier, as my knowledge of the language was limited, the opportunities for part-time jobs were less, and the school did not provide any part-time jobs/research opportunities from their side. Also, the part-time work schedule would be a bit clashing with the timings of classes.

The program has a strong focus on French people, and the faculty is top-notch.
Tips: Students should be open to all opportunities and avoid being overly focused on just one field. Build strong relationships with your professors. Both college and Campus France Scholarships are available. I received a college scholarship of 20 percent, which wasn't a large percentage.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): To obtain permanent residence, one must master the French language. The locals are deeply attached to their language and culture, and it may take some effort to initiate conversations with them. Additionally, the college name may not carry much weight for international students.
