Three Steps to Help You Choose the Right Business Specialization

Once you’ve considered the modules and subjects you’re most keen to study at postgraduate level, it’s worth having a think about the type of environment you want to be learning in. After all, business is a truly global enterprise these days, so a program which offers the ability to travel, meet new cultures and even learn a new language should be at the top of your list.

At EDHEC, GETT students are taught in English but they’re also provided with the opportunity to learn a foreign language as part of their studies. As if that wasn’t enough, the program also sees its students travel and study in three different cities around the world. After being based at EDHEC in Paris, France for their first semester, students travel to the SSK Graduate School of Business in South Korea. The final year of their studies then takes place in Berkeley,  USA at the Berkeley-Haas School of Business.

Building up your knowledge and awareness of how business is conducted around the world is all well and good, but it’s ultimately meaningless if you aren’t given the support required to find a top graduate job after you finish your studies. Practically every university and business school now offers a careers service to its students, but quality is likely to vary. Be sure to contact schools directly if you have any questions about how they help to prepare their students for the working world.

EDHEC students have access to career services throughout their studies, while those on the GETT program spend their second year on two six-month internships, acquiring professional work experience and putting what they’ve already learned to work in a real-world context. The fact the program was co-developed with leading business partners means there’s no shortage of top firms eagerly anticipating internship applications from EDHEC’s students, so you know you’ll walk away with invaluable experience and an eye-catching reference on your CV.
