Business school

The earnings from part-time jobs at Neoma Business School vary according to location and type of job. While on a student visa in France, a student can work up to 964 hours in a year.

Hourly wages usually go between €10 and €15, averaging about €12.50. Therefore if working 20 hours a week, the student earns €250 or €1,000 a month annually. Tuition every year can lie between €12,000 and €17,000, while living costs in Rouen or Reims can go from €800 to €1,200 per month (which amounts to €9,600 to €14,400 a year).

The overall costs could amount to anywhere around €21,600 to €31,400. The part-time job could earn about €12,000 a year, which would make 38% to 56% of the costs go away. So, outright covering living expenses would be difficult; financial stress would be alleviated to some extent if the students live frugally or get some extra help like scholarships. 

Finding another Indian student as a roommate could be somewhat easy, depending on the campus and student community in Neoma Business School. Neoma attracts diverse international students, with many from India particularly in MBA and Master in Management programs.

Chances of meeting Indian peers are fairly decent since more than 25% of the entire population of 9,000 students consists of international. Several platforms run housing boards or forums to help students connect, as do the social media groups started by Neoma. Smaller pockets of Indian communities exist in Rouen and Reims than in adjacent Paris, but the lively multicultural setting helps engage in connecting.

It does take some effort to join Indian associations or find networks online, but generally, hunting for an ideal Indian roommate through student life isn't that tough.

A handful of Indian restaurants stand out in the neighborhood of Neoma Business School, particularly around its Rouen and Reims campuses in France. In Rouen, the North Indian food served at "Le Palais Indien," including butter chicken and naan, is said to be music to the students' palate due to its richness.

 Another restaurant, "Restaurant Gandhi," is known for its cheap yet very good curries along with friendly service. Taj Mahal specializes in an assortment of specialties ranging from spicy biryanis to tandoori-catering to all tastes in Reims. These restaurants are almost a second home to many Indian students owing to their stable quality and reasonable rates. They are also very close to the campus.

The Berlin School of Business and Innovation (BSBI) MBA average salaries obviously vary because of industry and role, but as a rule of thumb, the average graduate in Germany can expect to earn between €50,000-€70,000 per year.

Consulting and finance may offer starting salaries from €60,000 to €80,000, while graduates will see marketing and operational roles paying between €45,000 and €60,000. From then on, senior professionals may earn as high as €100,000 and sometimes even more. With its emphasis on practical skills and international exposure, BSBI equips its master's graduates with skills to compete for jobs in the ever-changing job market in Berlin with international companies and startups.
