"An MBA program that covers all the important areas of business"
Hisham ANDANI
ISG MBA Graduate
First, in a very friendly and challenging environment, ISG was able to deliver an MBA program that covers all the important areas of business using highly qualified professors that knew exactly how to reach us and teach us about the real business world and how it functions. It exceeded my expectations, truthfully. Secondly, a combination of studies and having your own personal time makes ISG the perfect school for an international student, because you will get the chance to also experience what Paris has to offer.
Delphine BIGOT
"I have been looking for a truly International MBA"
Delphine BIGOT
ISG MBA
Describe your career as of today.
I have always been interested in Biology that is why I studied Biological techniques and started my professional life as a technician. Even if this met my expectations from a scientific point of view, I realized I wanted to reach new positions. Therefore I applied to a sales marketing and management oriented program and got my degree at the Technical High School of Applied Biology Techniques. I have worked in sales for 9 years in 2 different companies in the Diagnostics field where I began as a sales representative and grew to be a sales manager.
Why did you feel it was important to get an MBA diploma?
Now the Diagnostics field is becoming globalized. To be an executive able to deal with an international environment will become a competitive asset. I believe that being analytical helps to save time and it is also the best way to be efficient. For these reasons, I had to learn what international business is in its whole by resuming studies and doing an MBA. In addition, I consider that an MBA is more than a source of knowledge: it represents a real ‘launching pad’ for my professional life.
What made you choose the ISG International MBA and how do you expect it will help you realize your career goals?
Courses answer my needs regarding my professional goals and the ISG MBA schedule is compatible with my current job. Today the Diagnostic Industry is becoming more and more globalized. I strongly believe that the need for executives ‘adapted’ to this globalized business will expand. That is why I have been looking for a truly International MBA, taught in English, to widen my global management knowledge. Moreover, my career has evolved these last 9 years quickly and in a positive way. I had no problem finding interesting jobs but I guess that fewer and fewer companies
(due to mergers) will mean that more people will apply for executive positions. In addition, with my professional background, an MBA will help me face those competitors.

"Highly qualified international faculty"
Boris LERENDU
ISG MBA
I am currently a Customer Service Engineer within the leisure vehicle market. I have been through the MBA program with my company agreement which is financing the course. The overall idea for my company is to allow some of the staff to acquire the fundamentals of business in order to get better trained staff.
The main asset of the ISG MBA is the international environment. Teachers are highly skilled individuals
coming from around the world and this provides a worldwide perspective. Of course, the English spoken courses are an asset as well for any future international career.
Getting a valuable MBA from the ISG will boost my career and will allow me to step up into a management position. It is already the case, as I have been newly promoted.

"The MBA allowed me to upgrade my experience"
Astrid BOULEKONE
ISG MBA Graduate
I chose to do myMBA at ISG, in Paris because the program lasts one year, and is well accredited and structured with courses in management, finance and marketing. These courses are taught in English by international lecturers from various countries of origin and backgrounds. This ISG MBA enabled me to upgrade my solid working experience in sales, marketing and business administration. It has further provided the latest tools related to functions of management and development of management skills, such as managerial, financial and marketing general theories and principles, to be put into practice in order to better handle my future management work position(s) and approach my professional and personal challenges in a more balanced way.
Alexandra HAMAN
"Watch, learn and apply"
Alexandra HAMAN
3rd year student ISG BBA
Being a Marketing major I asked to do my internship in that sector of the company.
Coincidently this was the department that was having the most issues and that required the most work. Additionally, I arrived at the time of a new product launch that required extensive preparation and an excellent opportunity for me to watch, learn and apply. My academic education taught me to use my knowledge and apply my skills whenever necessary. During my internship not only did I perfect my Italian, I improved my Marketing and Communication techniques. I was asked to prepare
and present power point presentations, to brainstorm ideas for advertising claims and communication letters to clients. In the end, I was able to help the marketing department think of solutions for their problems.

"A truly international program"
Arnaud BOURGIN
3rd year student ISG BBA
I found out about the ISG BBA through friends. I lived in New York for 8 years where I studied in the Anglo-Saxon system. The ISG BBA gave me the chance to continue with this style of education which I find very effective. I especially enjoy the close contact with the teachers which gives a very human dimension to our classes.

"A once-in-a-lifetime decision"
Julian R. STROSK
ISG BBA Graduate
Deciding on where to do an undergraduate degree is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. The time I spent at ISG proved I took the right decision. The material covered in the various courses was interesting, structured and well-presented. ISG students don’t only receive an outstanding level of international business education, but can also excel in a great learning environment.
Hadrien BESSOU
"Closely related to the business world"
Hadrien BESSOU
2nd year student
I like the practical aspect of the school. I didn’t want to go to a typical French business school, in which you have to spend at least two years preparing exams. In the BBA Program, most of the classes are already closely related to the business world. You have to work on several case studies, very often in groups, which develop great teamwork skills.
