Bachelor Class of 2023 – 1st Year MBAI joined the Bachelor program in the second year after completing my first year at another university. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of teaching and course content. All the professors are industry professionals working in the luxury sector, which makes the courses comprehensive and highly relevant. Additionally, the mandatory Chinese language course is a great advantage and a valuable opportunity for students who will work in the luxury industry. I am very satisfied with this school, and the Bachelor program provides me with a well-rounded education, allowing me to join their MBA program in the fourth year.
Luxury, a Passion, a Profession, a Network.
