Master in Management by Programme Grande Ecole - Batch of 2021

Unforgettable experience in friendly environment college

Tips: The friendly atmosphere will make anyone feel welcome. The college offers good infrastructure for student life. It changed me a lot in every aspect. There was a very cooperative and friendly environment that never led me to feel alone. I got enormous benefits from language trip. I got two years of scholarship degree in France at the master's degree level. I am extremely satisfied with my university. This is an excellent way to meet new people, make friends and develop new skills.

MSc in Digital Transformation & Business Consulting - Batch of 2023

4.5

Historical college, Great alumni network, and amazing diversity.

Tips: Nothing specific to know overall it's a good campus. They are moving to a new location as the school size is now small for the total number of students on the campus. The diversity of students and teachers is rich. Keep yourself open to exploring new initiatives and experiences. It's a great school and a super nice calm city to do your studies.

Likes (Safety): It's a really safe city because of its small size, friendly local accessible transport. While some places are more high-risk, the city provides an overall secure environment. It's a safe place to work, study, and party, with cool places and a lively neighbourhood. You will enjoy your time in Montpellier.

Dislikes (Part time work): Montpellier is a small city and has a significant French speaking population. Proficiency in French is required for most of the part-time jobs available as it involve regular interaction with the customer and within the place. And relatively it has fewer jobs and the number of students is really high in the city.

Part time availability is less but studying in France is an unique experience.

Tips: Students from India are surely up for huge cultural shock though the journey is memorable starting from experiencing French culture, food and heritage. Interacting with students from different countries and getting to know them was enriching and worth the effort. I was awarded charpak Masters scholarship. It included an allowance of 700 euros/month and reimbursement of part of tuition fees. Overall it was a good experience.

Likes (Public transportation): The bus and tram stop are right in front of the campus's main gate and less than a minute away. Travel is convenient with good frequency except on Sunday. Monthly and yearly passes are available for students which are cost-effective, bus and tram tickets cost 1euro/hr otherwise in Montpellier (also the public transport is free on weekends for everyone).

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part time opportunities were limited, almost none ( paid one's). Though quite a handful of off-campus opportunities are available to students knowing fluent French, it is almost impossible to get one without knowing the language. Managing the part-time along with the academics might get quite difficult during the first semester as the schedule is paced however it is not the case with second/third semesters. The payment is done on an hourly basis and in most cases, minimum wage is paid for students ( also the tax is deducted as well from the same ).

Msc in Global Finance in a Sustainable World - Batch of 2021

3.7

The most diverse business school.

Tips: I have no doubt that this business school is not your regular B-school, it's very diverse. Every semester exchange students come and with them, they bring their culture and knowledge on diverse topics and this is what makes this college unique. There are students from more than 50 countries and the city also is very diverse. The sunshine here is good and the college is near the beach. Parties here are fun and you'll definitely enjoy being a student here. Faculty is good and we also have visiting faculty members here having expertise in their own subject matter so it's a good thing in disguise plus they focus on practical knowledge while keeping in view whatever is written in the books. I've studied finance here and I'll say that is good, I've learned a lot in the classroom and while working on projects and case studies related to global Fintech companies. So, if you are a B-student, this place is for you. Also, International student department here is very helpful, they'll help you out with documentation and never make you feel alienated at any point.

Likes (Internships): Internship opportunities here at MS are good. This college has a name here and this can help you with securing a good job here in France. The professors also help you with getting internships. It's one of the perks of studying in an institution that ranks amongst the top 12 institutions in France.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's exceptionally hard to get part time work here in France. To be honest, you need to have a good understanding of French and should be able to speak it fluently to get part time work here. So, make sure that if you are not proficient enough don't take part-time work in consideration of your total value of money that you'll be spending here but if you can find some part time jobs here like being a language tutor then you're lucky and you can take that. Also because there aren't many students aspiring to take those jobs.

Academically and cultural diverse business school.

Tips: There is a lot to consider with cultural aspect as city is beautiful and filled with many historically monuments along with celebrations during Christmas eve. There are scholarships available for early birds which should be utilized. Students can ask for help from administration and faculty members as all are very accommodative while giving extra slot times available for students who need extra guidance for curriculum or job related aspects as well. Course and everything else is worth the money invested.

Likes (Safety): City and school both are safe considering security and all helps available from administration. School being on outskirts of the city, needs transportation on frequent basis with average time from city centre to school of 30 minutes. There are many campus accommodation available as well. School located on outer region but with residential houses nearby with 1-3 kms with a walking distance of just 2 tram stop.

Dislikes (Internships): There are ample of guidance available for people who are seeking for internships along with many jobs and work fair to connect employers with students. Only drawback is to be fluent in language gets only clearance for most of the internships. Internships in France are majorly for people of marketing, fashion and AI based along with being very frequent offers to graduates. Also, for every other subjects, jobs and internships are available on broader level in Urban regions of France like Lyon, Nice, Paris etc.
