 Q . Tell s your name, which city you are based in, and what are you currently studying at MBS.

PK: My name is Purvi Kushwaha, I am from Indore (India) and currently, I am doing my double degree in Luxury marketing in a sustainable world at Montpellier Business School, France.

Q. What did you choose France for your studies?

PK: France has been a gateway of opportunity as my next step after the bachelor’s degree I was looking out for, and I was looking for a place where I receive my learning not only from classrooms but also outside. France has given me the opportunity to learn about myself outside my comfort zone. During my first year the amount of international exposure I received has been extremely useful and something I would not have received if I did not come to France. France was also one of the few countries where I could undertake a master’s degree in Luxury marketing.

Q. Please share your journey while applying abroad.

PK: My journey applying abroad was smooth enough to minimize the hassle I contacted Shiksha.com regarding some assistance. They provided me with all the necessary information regarding France and other documents required. I was in contact with the international department at MBS. Shiksha.com gave me various business school options with their ranking and other details. They also shared contact details of students coming to France with me so that we could assist each other.

Q. Please share a typical day at MBS.

PK: A typical day at MBS starts at 9:30 am luckily my place is not that far so I usually walk to school. All the classes are mostly three hours of teaching and working on exercises or projects. Every class has got a mix of international students coming from various parts of the world. When working on group projects mostly there are students of various nationalities come together to work. We have a lunch break from 12:30 which is great to chat with friends having lunch or take a walk. Usually, the day ends by 17:00. Every class has a different way of being conducted such as a mix of case studies or research paper reading, working on some real-world problems, etc.

Q. What do you enjoy the most in Montpellier and at MBS?

PK: Montpellier is a student city which is why many international students are coming from various corners of the world. The people residing here are mostly very helpful and kind which is good, especially for international students. The city has got a happy environment something is happening every now and then. As it is not a very big city everything is in easy connectivity. Also, the city is near to various other cities plus there are beaches which make summers great in Montpellier.

Q. One tip you would like to share with students who consider studying in France?

PK: France is your gateway of opportunities with various companies headquarters in France. It is great for personal and professional growth. With great opportunities, food, and environment. The country is truly breathtaking! Indeed, there must be a fear of the language barrier but what is life without learning? There is never an age to learn a new language.
