“The MGM programme gave me a great opportunity to study one semester in Dublin, getting the international experience that I was lacking in a city that I love. With the great diversity of subjects, we get to develop soft skills and hard skills that are essential in today’s global management setting. I met incredible people and friends for life coming from all over the world. Choosing this double degree programme is a great lever with recruiters and allowed me to achieve my dream to get a job in Tokyo!”
“Learning to be a global manager in a digital age is key to a successful future management career today. I believe that the NEOMA/ESB MGM programme provided me with some of the essential tools and skills necessary for this e.g. a knowledge of a broad range of strategic frameworks, digital competencies such as familiarity with relevant software and analytical tools, working in cross-cultural teams in English and building a great network of global corporate contacts.”
“This programme allowed me to enhance technical skills in Finance and Statistics as well as professional skills such as the ability to present to a large audience. I had the opportunity to improve soft skills such as applying an open mindset, creativity and empathy. The Digital Disruption concentration at DCU focused on subjects that are in high demand in the job market. Data Visualization for example was strongly appreciated by the company that hired me. I recommend to all hesitant students to jump into this life-changing experience!”
