Pau is in a great location - near the mountains, near the beach. The town is fairly quiet but the social opportunities are there if you make the effort.

“International Management, specialized in International Purchasing and Logistics”
MATHILDE H
France, Graduate
Business Studies, 2021
Overall
I am studying in my first year of Master Degree at IAE Pau-Bayonne (FRANCE).
My Master is internationally-oriented with a specialization in Purchasing and Logistics. Some of my courses are in English such as Strategy or Marketing, and I am attending Spanish class to ensure the international dimension of the Master.
On the first hand, I am still studying global notions such as International Marketing, Strategy, Human Resources, Finance, Computing skills...
On the other hand, my specialization in Purchasing and Logistics makes me learn the supply chain management of an international company.
Later, I would like to work as a Supply Chain Manager this is why I am seeking an internship abroad in this field.

Course recommendations
If you are going to Pau, do not go with an organized group. They are over organized and much more expensive than doing it on your own.

Take advantage of the mountains. Hiking in the summer, skiing is great in the winter.
