Expérience humaine et riche en relationnelle.

Overall
J’ai pu accéder au programme BBA, en fin 2019. C’est un programme en 4 ans avec environ 2 ans à l’étranger. La vie étudiante fut le plus important. Un des atout de notre programme est que nous avons vécu plus de 1 an et demi à l’étranger. Toutes ces expériences ont été pour moi extrêmement bénéfique. De nature observateur, j’ai énormément appris sur autrui en général et je suis capable d’analyser une personnalité facilement. Durant ces qu’âtres années et meme avant cette école, j’ai toujours su m’entourer de bonnes personnes, qui ont toujours eu un impact positif sur ma vie. Les cours et stages furent également déterminant mais le coté social fut capital.

Careers
L’école propose de nombreux stage via le réseau alumni. En 2020, début d’épidémie de covid, j’ai eu du mal à trouver un stage et j’ai donc pu participer à un projet de volontariat. Mon second stage fut trouvé grace a mon propre réseau.

Great program with many international opportunities.

Overall
The program offers a variety of course, from finance, to geopolitics. For the first two years you are assigned courses and you do not select them. The third year is abroad and in the final year you have to specialise in a certain area (finance, sales management...). Regarding the courses, I do feel like there is sometimes a lack of professionalism and respect from certain professors in their way of teaching, however overall the content is interesting and useful. Furthermore, many of the courses require one or multiple presentations as well as assignments and exams.

Careers
With the course I selected (BBA), over the 4 years we are required to do one 2-3 month internship/summer job in France, one 3 month internship abroad, two semesters abroad and then a final 6 month internship abroad in a partner university.
Regarding the help that the university provides for us to find these internships, there is a career centre on campus, as well as various resources that we can access on our internal website. 
They are also normally quick to respond to any problems you have to help you solve them.

Une expérience professionnalisante

Overall
L'école de commerce Excelia m'à permis d'avoir une vie associative très enrichissante avec la possibilité de gérer différents projets associatifs ce qui m'a permis de faire rapidement des rencontres avec les autres étudiants. D'un point de vue plus scolaire, Excelia nous met en relation avec de nombreux intervenants qui nous permettent de découvrir des cours à travers leurs yeux de professionnels. De plus, la mise en place de la mission humanitaire obligatoire permet une certaine ouverture d'esprit.

Careers
L’école propose de multiples stages et expériences lors de nos cursus. 
En trois années, j’ai eu l’opportunité de réaliser un stage en Espagne, une mission de volontariat au Portugal et partir une année scolaire entière dans une école partenaire en Finlande (Helsinki Metropolia Business School).
Avec mon programme BBA, nous avons également pu partir à Bruxelles et Marrakech pour des “Learning Expedition”, ce qui nous a permis de faire un lien entre monde du travail et cours.

I wish I had known...
The expenses and the fact that La Rochelle is a city with only 50.000 inhabitants. Coming from a big city it can be hard to adjust. This is also the reason why having a car makes it easy. The city is small and in order to explore the surroundings(which are beautifull) a car is needed. The public transport are active only untill 20.00.

Final comments
La Rochelle a nice medieval city at the coast of the Atlantic ocean. You will experience the French language and if you stay a whole year you will experience the French culture. People are polite but make some extra effort to meet the locals, they know where the good parties are.
