The undergraduate program at the Mediterranean School of Business has given me so much more than I expected when I first started it in 2016. I’ve learned so much from its highly dedicated and supportive professors. I believe that the skills and knowledge I acquired are the keys to a successful career. During my final year, I went on an exchange semester to IE Business School, Madrid which was an eye-opening experience. Overall, I can say that I am grateful to MSB for providing a wonderful learning environment and a wide range of opportunities for growth.

I remember when I decided to follow Business studies at the Mediterranean School of Business, A journey full of opportunities that developed my knowledge within the business field and forged my personality to become a better version of me. I am pleased to announce that I got a scholarship from MSB’s partner, IESEG Business school, for the Grande Ecole master’s program. This new adventure will boost my enthusiasm to develop a professional network through interaction with international students and exchanging knowledge to reach a higher level of added value. 

" I took this time to reflect on my work in the alumni association and I realized the impact it had on my personal growth and professionalism as well. On a professional aspect, I became more self-confident about the importance of cultivating a network of alumni and more aware of the efforts conducted by SMU into cultivating and uniting us. As a personal aspect, It helped keep contact with old alumni and get inspired by their paths and be more confident with my engagements. My time in the association has enhanced many skills such as time management, analysis, and communication skills and I am thankful for the chance I had to work closely with the members of the board and especially with the career center members, who were very helpful and guided me in every step."

I enrolled in the UPM program in 2014 after graduating with a license in management at MSB. This was an obvious choice for me as I wanted to pursue a career in consulting in Europe and the UPM program at MSB was the most complete program to answer my needs.  My time at MSB as a master's student in business analytics and Big Data marked a tipping point in my professional career. My specific aim was to learn how to make sense of and derive intelligence from the increasing amounts of data that businesses hold about their operations and customers. I wanted to understand and learn about the latest trends available to tackle contemporary business challenges. Usefully, MSB additionally provides soft skills-related courses such as public speaking and professional presentations to complement the technical skills taught in the core subjects. At the same time, the class environment was genuinely enjoyable, and the 2 years were valuable and rewarding experiences at a personal level. Today, 4 years after graduating from MSB, I can confirm that choosing the MSB UPM program was the right decision as I am currently holding a project manager position working with digitalization projects throughout Europe. 

I am currently enrolled in a master’s program at INSA business school in Barcelona, Spain.

 Earning a bachelor’s degree from the Mediterranean school of business opened the doors for international studies thanks to its 100% English curriculum, with English being the business language. The background of MSB’s students is very rich in terms of material studied; finance, management, marketing, entrepreneurial courses, history …  which in return, in addition to the international reach, gave me a wider range of fields to choose from. Some graduates choose to pursue master’s studies, others to start working, I chose both. 

I chose a less heavy master’s program, night hours, so that I can start my long-term internship here in Barcelona. Going through many interviews, I found myself able to discuss technical terms with employers and to show my background in the skills required for the positions. 

The effort exerted by SMU in offering internship opportunities to students via email is important and beneficial because professional experience is what is going to make a difference between one graduate and another when being recruited.

« I was enrolled in the UPM program at MSB and graduated in 2019 with a diploma in Business Administration, majoring in Finance. Afterwards, I decided to pursue my master's in international business at IESEG School of Management, in Paris. Both experiences made me see things big and want to work in multiple and diverse environments and cultures (in this case, in multinational firms and more specifically, in a Big Four). As a result, now, I am doing a 6-month internship in Audit at Deloitte Luxembourg. 

Finally, I am very honored to represent SMU as well as my country abroad and I will be more than happy to share my experiences with current SMU students and help them in their future academic and career choices. »

I am currently finishing my Master of Science in Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability at the Technical University of Berlin. I am also studying 1 semester at the Technical University of Valparaíso, Chile. In terms of professional experience, I have worked for 1 year and a half as a research assistant in International Economics at ESCP Berlin and am currently working as a Business Development Manager in a biotechnology company also in Berlin.

Regarding my text, kindly let me know if it meets your expectations.

I graduated from MSB in 2017 with a major in Finance. The university provided me with the support system and values that I needed to pursue a degree abroad. During those years, MSB was very open to new ideas such as the creation of the innovation lab and founding Enactus SMU in which I took part, respectively. We had the opportunity to work closely with the faculty members and professors and were always encouraged to initiate, create and dream. This enabled me to grow with an entrepreneurial mindset and a go-getter attitude that I have always kept and that are beneficial for my current job and master's degree. MSB also cared about my academic evolution and awarded me with a merit scholarship that encouraged me to work harder and dream bigger. It is a university that gives you the tools and the support system that you need in any working environment and studies. As a student you have to take advantage of them as they will enable you to face challenges and experiences that you might undertake at home or abroad."

I am Mohamed Rafik Triki, 22 years old, graduated from SMU in 2019, had an internship with the communication department in the administration of SMU which was very beneficial for me to know more about design, formal communication, retro-planning, events management etc... 

I went to the United States for the pursue of my path, I joined Stratford University in October 2019 and I just graduated this month with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, I missed some credits to apply for Master`s so I am done with it. 

I was rewarded 2 times for the last 2 terms with the President list award after having an "A" or 4.00 out of 4.00 as GPA. I also got certificates from LinkedIn e-learning platforms on social media, marketing and communication and business development topics. 

I am now going for Master`s degree in MIS Management Information Systems as I believe it is so important to combine both worlds, IT and Business together.

I also had a small career at work, I started with an administrative assistant of Stratford University as an international student worker and I worked on many projects in several offices regarding registrar, communication, student life, admission and international student offices.

Then, I was chosen to be the primary assistant of the president of one of 4 campuses that belongs to Stratford University where I was working on files that are highly classified, councils and heads of departments.  

Lately, I was assigned to take care of all the administrative and important projects for the Vice President of Stratford University head administration, collaborating with doctors, managers and highly skilled and experienced people who are very inspiring.

I also made a promotional video of the university talking about my experience as an international student here and working on many other campaigns and advertisements related to the organization I am working for.

People are impressed by the work I am doing as they express and announce it and I would always give credits to MSB for enhancing my growth as a person and for helping me have a profile that would add value to other organizations.

I am working on projects that would give opportunities to students from SMU to continue their studies here in the U.S.A and a partnership between both institutions.

In my last year as an undergraduate at MSB, I hesitated for a long time whether to continue studying or to jump in the professional world straight away. Through extended discussions with faculty members and many conferences held at MSB I finally find my path by creating my company. I just obtained the Startup Act Label, there is still a long way to go but I am optimistic and confident about the future.

One of the greatest choices of my life is choosing MSB for my License degree. 

From my school, I did not only gain technical skills, but also real-life experience.

MSB provided me with a very rich and qualified background that I am still using in my postgraduate studies in competition with students coming from different highly ranked universities worldwide. 

Now I am pursuing my Master Studies at one the best ranked schools in France thanks to the opportunities the MSB gave me with its different partners.
