MiM Business Management (Grande École) - Batch of 2025

5.0

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.

MiM in Data Science and AI for Business - Batch of 2027

4.7

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.

MiM Business Management (Grande École) - Batch of 2026

3.1

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.

4.2

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.

MSc in International Finance - Batch of 2024

2.8

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.
