Hello, tbh one of the most helpful videos out there. Thanks for making such great content. I have one question...

How can we compete with that as freshers, we have some interning experiences and our GMAT score ???

People need not necessarily have experience. MiM is more focused towards fresh graduates so if you have some experience you'll have a little bit of edge only. High GMAT score does help but won't be the deciding factor

Hey Nick, as I explained in the video. The apprenticeship program is a work-study program so you work and study at the same time. If you follow a 6 month cycle. You will work for 6 months then study for 6 months so according to a 2 year contract, at the end you would have worked for 1 year and studied at ESSEC or elsewhere for a year.

Hi Shaurya, since I'm enrolled in MIM, I can only give you an answer from that perspective. In my opinion, for us international students it's better to choose MiM to allow us enough time and opportunities to understand where we want to be. I have friends in my batch who just like you are engineers and want to switch to finance and have taken MiM over MSc Finance. Coming to the question of employment in the UK or the US, I mean it all depends on your profile, your connections, the opportunities you grab. But if that's the goal why study in France. Why not study in that country itself?

Hey, thank you for such an informative video. So if someone has 0 work ex, for that person to graduate from ESSEC, he/she will have to complete 12 months of internship while studying at ESSEC, is it possible to intern for 12 months in the span of two years at ESSEC while taking classes?

@iArifAhmad

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is but nobody, in general, keeps it that hectic and usually stretches their MiM duration to 3 years if they are coming as freshers with 0 experience. People who come with some work experience validate that and then are somewhat free to choose when they want to intern and study etc. Also, if you have done a summer internship during your 3rd or 4th year of bachelor, you can submit that as well towards the validation of the 12-month work experience, and depending upon the type of work you did, it can be approved/disapproved.

Hello Violina, the duration of the MiM depends upon how many courses you take. To simply associate a course with credit, for now, know that 1 course = 1 credit and in 1 trimester you can only take a maximum of 8 courses (which usually is too much and majority of us take 5-6). Now in order to graduate, you have to complete 3 criterions ( mentioned at 1:20 ) and if you do have prior work experience and you validate it then from the Academic curriculum perspective you have to complete 25 courses and so it is your choice to select the duration of your MiM. The beauty of ESSEC is the flexibility of the curriculum and not taking full advantage of it and just thinking about graduating as soon as you can would be a waste of opportunity in my opinion. You should definitely aim for your MiM to be at least 2 years.

1. Yes, you have to live in France for 1 year before you can start an apprenticeship so it's basically integrated into the 2nd year of the MiM duration. Knowledge of French depends on the kind of role you get. Some roles do require quite a bit of French and some roles are even in English so it depends. 2. No you can't, the first application cycle starts in January ( i.e your 2nd trimester / T2 ) and that is for an exchange in the first trimester of your 2nd year here

There is no min requirement as such to take up a course so for an entire year ( 3 trimesters ), you can take 0 courses which in turn will become your gap year but apart from that as such there is no official thing as gap year. You can take up internships and work for a whole year and call it a gap year as well so everything is totally up to you.
