Reconnaissance internationale du programme

Accompagnement/aide si départ à l'étranger

Services aux étudiants (orientation, projet pro., scolarité, etc.)

Ville étudiante, logement (coût, accès, situation)

Réseau des anciens, contacts professionnels

All the networking I built, I built with my own money and my own time, because I volunteered at three different international events during the program, for which I was later demoted for non-attendance, which I warned about. Teachers have a habit of promising to refer you to colleagues at the particular company you're interviewing for, and not responding to emails ever. Or the only help offered is "write a letter of recommendation on yourself and I'll sign it". A job is not a scholarship, cold letters of recommendation don't work.

Qualité du directeur de programme et notoriété de la formation

Stages et aide à l'insertion professionnelle

All help in finding internships has been in forwarding job postings and tagging the faculty account under linkdin posts. The notorious network of faculty partnerships with organizations does not provide any benefit.

Satisfaction sur le salaire premier-emploi

Êtes-vous globalement satisfait de votre formation ?

I chose the program based on international rankings and could not have expected the best of the international public programs to be so without positioning for what the program was international for. International students with real-world business experience are treated the same as French kids who, aside from internships, have seen nothing, made no decisions, and have no responsibility for anything meaningful. This manifests itself in pointless, identical homework assignments consisting of stupid googling of events from 10-20 years ago and writing solutions to already solved problems. This is expressed in humiliating emails to the whole group, which shame the whole group for unproven non-attendance (at the time of sending the emails, attendance sheets were not filled out for half of the subjects and the emails were sent from the teachers' words). At the same time, without voicing expectations from international students, at the end of the disciplines it is found out that not a single international student took initiative and was proactive to share his/her experience, so professors give them low grades. Shame, shame, shame. Determine why you want international students on your program and treat them accordingly.

No, I would not have wasted my time on this program for a number of reasons. Now, based on my experience, I strongly believe that in this industry, higher education should be rethought and practice-oriented, it should help to create a networking environment efficiently and quickly whether you study there for a year or five. Great course on career management and public speaking was a great course, by the way. But the key discipline, Event Management, is absolutely rubbish. Further, the course is called Sport Leisure and Event management, but if you look at the list of disciplines you will see half, if not more, of the marketing subjects. So marketing or event management? This program does not become a promised magic wand for international people with experience, who only need European confirmation of this experience, the notorious elitism of the program does not help to break into good positions.
