“You have the generalist perspective, then you apply your learning in real-word settings and gain hands-on experience, and finally, you embark on a more specialised perspective depending on your own taste.” Explains Laurent Deville, Programme Director.

“The gap year is indubitably the most important step of the programme: for most students - including myself - it represented the first real chance to shine in the job market. It is first of all an opportunity to practically learn how to apply in a concrete way the theoretical knowledge acquired in class, and, secondly, the best way we have to understand what we really like to do “outside school”.” Testifies Lorenzo Perlini, MiM – Finance Track student.
