Avis de Jpymwsvj_50179 - MSc International Management & Business - Audencia

Reconnaissance internationale du programme

No, I am not satisfied. Although the program is presented as internationally oriented, in practice the opportunities and support provided were mainly focused on France. Most internship suggestions and career opportunities were limited to the French market, with little real support for positions outside France. In addition, there was insufficient language and integration support to help international students effectively enter the French job market. Without adequate French language support, it was very difficult to improve my employability locally or access meaningful opportunities in France. Career events were also primarily oriented toward French-speaking students. Even when international companies were involved, the support for non-French-speaking students was limited, and we were often told to contact companies directly without receiving meaningful guidance or referrals from the school. Overall, this did not reflect the level of international recognition and support I expected from the program.

Accompagnement/aide si départ à l'étranger

No, I am not satisfied. I did not receive sufficient support when preparing to go abroad. There was very limited guidance regarding scholarships or financial support, particularly for Japanese students. As a result, I had to cover most of the costs myself, including visa-related expenses and relocation costs for moving to and from the UK. Overall, I felt there was a lack of structured assistance from Audencia in terms of financial guidance, administrative support, and practical help for international mobility.

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

Ambiance, cohésion dans la promo (projets, entraide, loisirs, associations)

No, I am not satisfied. I did not feel a strong sense of inclusion or group cohesion within the cohort. While there were group projects, the overall atmosphere did not encourage strong mutual support or integration among students. I felt that there was limited inclusion for master’s students compared to other programs. For example, students who joined earlier (such as in bachelor programs) seemed to benefit from more structured welcome events and easier social integration, whereas I did not receive the same level of support, which made it harder to connect with others at the beginning. As a result, I often felt disconnected from the cohort and less involved in school activities and associations.

Réseau des anciens, contacts professionnels

Qualité du directeur de programme et notoriété de la formation

No, I am not satisfied. The overall management of the program did not feel sufficiently structured or consistent. There were issues regarding course organization, coherence of the curriculum, and alignment with career outcomes, which suggests that academic coordination could have been improved. In terms of developing the program’s reputation, my personal experience did not reflect a strong or effective outcome. The level of student support and career development services I received did not match the expectations set by the program’s positioning, particularly in relation to international student integration and career preparation.

Stages et aide à l'insertion professionnelle

Satisfaction sur le salaire premier-emploi

No, I am not satisfied. My starting salary is low, and I feel this is partly because there was insufficient career support from the school during my job search. I did not receive strong guidance or structured support from Audencia in finding suitable positions, which made it difficult to access higher-level or better-paid opportunities. As a result, I ended up in a more administrative role that does not fully reflect the value of a master’s degree. This experience also made me question whether the program was truly necessary for the type of job I ultimately obtained.

Êtes-vous globalement satisfait de votre formation ?

My experience has been disappointing for several reasons: The quality of teaching was inconsistent. Some professors had limited English proficiency, which made courses—especially subjects like law and taxation—difficult to follow. In several cases, teaching felt disengaged, with a heavy reliance on reading slides rather than clear explanations or interactive instruction. Despite being presented as an international-friendly school, there was no French language support provided, which made it difficult to integrate into French student life and society. This contributed to a sense of isolation during my studies. Additionally, school events and activities seemed mainly oriented toward French-speaking students, which further limited inclusion for international students. Career support was also insufficient. I struggled to receive meaningful guidance or opportunities and ultimately had to secure employment independently. Overall, I expected a more practical, structured, and internationally supportive program, and my experience did not meet those expectations.

Referiez-vous le même choix de formation aujourd’hui ?

No, I would not choose the same program again. The program felt too general and repetitive, especially in areas like cross-cultural communication, leadership, and management. We were often asked to repeat similar activities such as role plays and interview-style assignments, without enough depth or progression. I was expecting more practical, career-oriented learning. Instead, much of the content felt theoretical or repetitive rather than directly applicable to real job preparation. For example, I would have benefited much more from practical training such as how to build a marketing portfolio, how to present projects for job applications, or how to develop job-ready skills aligned with industry expectations. Overall, I would have preferred a more hands-on, skills-based program focused on employability rather than repeated general management exercises.
