MSc Strategic Management & Consulting - Batch of 2025

At home worldwide and Internationally diverse.

Tips: International adaptability is a key skill. Student life is not just about academics, but networking and communication plays a key role. Take part in all the corporate events conducted by the school as it adds up a lot of value. I have never felt that my university is just a place for academics but actually a place where learning meets fun. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Academics, sports, and extracurricular activities all contribute to a complete student life, and Skema's policies support this well. While academics are a strong asset of Skema, the diversity in sports clubs and associations also adds value. I was also a member of the Skema Student Committee.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty is a mix of international professionals many of whom are employed by major global corporations and come as visiting professors. This provides excellent learning opportunities and networking with these mentors is key.

MSc Business Consulting and Decision Intelligence - Batch of 2025

Securing an internship early is challenging, especially for non-European passport holders.

Tips: Be prepared for racism particularly in Paris if you are from an Asian background. Students with an engineering background will find the concepts easier to grasp. I recommend completing French language courses up to A2/B1 level before coming here.

Likes (Safety): The campus is located in a safe and secure area. It can be accessible by public transport. Find housing in a safe area and avoid individuals acting as housing agents. Many newcomers to France have been victims of housing scams.

Dislikes (Internships): The talent and career department isn't as helpful as other similar business schools. Securing an internship early is challenging especially for non-European passport holders. Finding an internship in a non-teaching field can be difficult without speaking French.

Msc International Business - Batch of 2022

4.9

A proper international experience.

Tips: I have been to Europe before so cultural shock was not a thing for me. But if someone is aiming for France, he/she must know French. I didn't get any scholarships but there are several scholarships and government aid available. Overall it was a good experience.

Likes (Safety): France is considered as one of the safest countries in the world. It's usually safe to go out even at night. I had great experience but some people around me have had an experience with pickpocketers. You have to be cautious around the touristic areas.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's difficult for the students who don't speak French. Also, not many part-time jobs are available for students as their schedules might clash with the work hours. The college also provides some internship options though part-time is usually manageable.

Skema makes sure to give you the top quality education and knowledge.

Tips: Students should know that there is obviously a cultural shift, but not that big. Speaking basic French is a must to survive outside the university campus. You can also get an early bird scholarship. Work related to the government is a bit slow, so you need to stay on your toes and keep constantly following up.

The university is great and the faculty is experienced and talented.

Tips: Students should learn French to get jobs and prepare the materials for the class assignment. You can get scholarships if you are doing a two-year Master's programme. There are also early bird discounts that are available when you apply for the universities. The early bird is normally available to everyone.

Likes (Quality of faculty): As all the faculty members are the top executives of the company, their teaching is valuable as it is with experience. Most of the teachers have their own way of teaching, some start directly with the assignment or use cases, and some basically start with theory and give you assignments to do.

Dislikes (Internships): For internships, the students are required to speak French to get selected. Internships are available and there are many opportunities but one needs the minimum level of French, B1 level to get the job. The silver lining is that one can apply to other European countries.

MSc Financial Markets & Investments - Batch of 2026

A wonderful stepping stone for a brighter future.

Tips: Students should know that there's a lot of work that you have to do even if you go home to complete your assignments. There is no campus placement as such. The university will just guide you for internships but you're on your own. I'm pretty satisfied with the university.

Likes (Student Life): There are a lot of clubs and communities that are there at the campus. They organise various events that you can participate in, which can be both academic as well as social. Most college days you are going to be busy. If you are free explore the city with your friends.

Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships related to your coursework is very hard in the first year since you're doing a generalised course for the 1st year. I had to find my internship so did my friends so try to find an internship by yourself.
