Testimonials of the month
We are very proud to share with our network, the testimonial of the month, received from our brilliant MedTech student Henry-Claude Madiba
Henry-Claude Madiba
MedTech student
So far I’m quite pleased with my time at SMU, the professors and staff have successfully managed to set up an efficient learning environment. The taxing Curriculum enabled me to strive during my internship experience at GIZ. SMU perfectly embodies Tunisian culture through its hospitality and relentless pursuit of success for all its students.
Once you graduate, your journey continues with the career center. We are currently working on a membership card program that would give you access to many advantages, such as a privileged discount on our executive programs tuition fees, free access to the SMU Library, special rates for room rentals... We look forward to hearing your success stories and testimonials and sharing them within our platform. We will reach out to you also via email and on our LinkedIn page with different job opportunities so stay tuned.

Alumni of the month testimonial
Ali Abdelhakim
MBM Alumnus Cohort 2019
Ever since I joined MSB it was a great experience during my pursuit of my license and my Master's degree at MSB, as an international student, MSB was my first choice as a prestigious and a well recognized institution and as a destination that welcomed students from different cultures and different backgrounds due to its diverse and welcoming culture. Moreover, as a Libyan student most of the time i felt welcomed as Tunisia and Libya were not so different in terms of habits and traditions yet I became friends with many students and many faculty members. MSB offers more than an environment where the skills and knowledge that I acquired during my experience were not only the product of the courses offered but were also a result of the competent professors that I encountered during my time here. Eventually I just want to say that MSB will always be part of me.

Senda Ouanes
Account Manager, Bee Studio
« During the summer 2020, Kenza Kooli was an intern at Bee Studio where I am currently an Account Manager. I am glad to tell you that I was rather impressed with her and the work she put in. She has been responsible, hard-working and dependable. Her internship was challenging, with a heavy workload. However, Kenza has done quite well, especially taking into consideration the fact that this was her first internship experience. She was proactive, eager to learn and willing to help whenever it was needed. We, the team at Bee Studio, send her our warm regards and wish her continued success. »

« We were surprised by the ease of adaptation to our firm organization, the communication skills and the academic background of Mayssene and Malak during their summer internships in our firm Crowe Tunisia. We would be delighted to find them later as professional and to welcome students from the SMU for internship and job opportunities in the future. »
Aida Robbana
Chef du Bureau , ONU-Habitat
« Bilel Trabelsi has joined our Team as an intern, he has demonstrated from day one his willingless to be a team player. Even though due to COVID-19 our UN Security rules & regulations preventing us from having him in the office, this didn’t hinder his motivation to be a part of our office’s mandate. He was able to adapt to these new constraints that could be frustrating to most people. Instead he kept a positive outlook to the situation we endure globally. Thus he was able to support both Operations and Programme teams on several occasions and he took part of curcial remote regional missions in other Governorates. He has helped not only in providing written outputs of these latter but also he supported our programme colleagues in many reseaches needed to develop the office strategy on the long run as we are undergoing a critical phase of fundraising for upcoming projects proposals. He communicated directly his inputs to the chief of mission and demonstrated a professional skills in dealing with senior staff. That being said, we definately appreciate having Bilel within our team as he is becoming an asset for our Office during this short period of time and we are positive he is an outstanding professional in the making. »
Omar Rekik
General director , EY
« Oumaima joined our firm in February for a period of Six months as an intern in order to validate her graduation project. During the internship period, which is still in progress, I had the opportunity to work with Oumaima as her supervisor on a nearshoring project built in collaboration with EY Paris. What I found most interesting was her way of analysing and deepening her research in order to grasp the different approaches. She knew how to ask for help, but above all how to give it, The team spirit that she showed despite the short time she spent with us, made me immediately understand that she will certainly accomplish great things for her community. In fact, I saw an unparalleled determination and an impressive appetite for knowledge. In order to fully understand the files & dossiers she in charge, she participated in “French Social Security Rules & Global Mobility” training sessions that we hold within the team, stating that a good tax specialist must have an in-depth knowledge dealing with the Law rules that should not be limited to Tunisian regulation. Oumaima not only gets involved on the professional side in the office, she is also a person who gives a lot of importance to the team with whom she works. She is always present during our gatherings and after-works with the other teams of the several other departments of the firm. The main purpose of those events is essentially to network and meet people in order to get to know them better. Considering all these qualities and skills, it is my great pleasure to recruit Oumaima after the closing of her internship period. With her undeniable energy and her team spirit, I believe that Oumaima is the perfect candidate who can join our Firm. It is indeed an opportunity for her to open up to other cultures, to deepen her knowledge in Tax Law as well as the other fields of Global Mobility and Cross-Border Tax rules. »
