Seize the opportunity and open up the situation

The COVID 19 epidemic that swept the world disrupted everyone's normal pace of life and made most students more cautious about studying abroad. But there is no denying the value of studying abroad itself-learning cutting-edge knowledge and technology, experiencing different cultures and getting more and better job opportunities.

In the long run, no matter the salary or position, the experience of studying abroad will play a positive role in promoting your career development for three to five years. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. People with keen insight will not let external uncertainties delay them in making plans and taking actions. In order to help you look at the short-term crisis from a developmental perspective and make choices that are conducive to personal growth and career development, we have summarized five reasons-why it is time to consider your study abroad plan.

1. Understanding the business challenges in the context of globalization

Economic globalization affects almost every enterprise. Whether it is suppliers, employees or customers, the daily business of an enterprise inevitably involves dealing with partners from all over the world. Obviously, studying abroad can make you look at problems from a global perspective and better cooperate with international teams.

A good life is very comfortable! The whole city is like a big garden, bathed in bright sunshine. I am lucky to spend time traveling inside and outside the city. I used the weekend to go to Holland, Belgium and Italy, and spent Christmas in Germany and Austria during the winter vacation. I am amazed by the culture, scenery and society of every country.

My present job is inextricably linked with EDHEC. Candesic, my company, has a long-term cooperative relationship with EDHEC, and my partner used to be my professor. My graduation project was also completed under the guidance of Candisic. After graduation, I joined Candesic as a strategic analyst. The knowledge I use in my work is basically learned in class, so I am very professional. It can be said that if I didn't come to EDHEC, or if I didn't choose a consulting major, I wouldn't have the opportunity to contact this company.

Become more independent

Studying abroad also means learning to adapt to the new environment and culture quickly, which helps to improve your independence. When you enter the rapidly developing business world, you will often encounter new challenges and problems to be solved. This openness to the unknown will get you twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, EDHEC Business School will try to make you spend this wonderful time studying abroad safely and smoothly. Before the students arrive at the campus, EDHEC International Student Office has begun to assist them with all administrative procedures and help them adapt to the upcoming study abroad life in France. The team is ready to help students solve daily problems in France's medical system, insurance and housing.

It is worth noting that EDHEC has obtained the three-star certification of "Bienvenue en France" issued by French higher education institutions. The issuing standard of this certification is mainly to measure the investment of educational institutions in welcoming international students, including five aspects: the quality and accessibility of information, the welcoming and reception procedures, the course support and project scope, campus accommodation and quality of life, and post-graduation support.

Before I arrived in Nice campus, the International Student Office had helped me find an apartment with a superior location and reasonable price. For international students who don't know French or can't speak fluent French, it may be difficult to deal with the local government and immigration agencies. When we encounter problems in medical care, insurance, visa renewal, etc. The international student office can always provide quite strong support.

5. Get the competitive advantage of keeping pace with the times

The society is developing rapidly and the technical knowledge is updating rapidly. In an increasingly complex and changeable world, future managers must now understand all aspects of business affairs and organically integrate strategy, technology and manpower in order to make correct decisions. The traditional educational model is constantly being impacted. Only with quick thinking and the ability to learn independently can we easily cope with all kinds of challenges.

By establishing cooperative relations with many internationally renowned universities, EDHEC provides all students with opportunities for international exchange, thus obtaining multiple degrees at the same time. For example, in the United States, EDHEC has established cooperative relations with 24 universities, including the University of California at Berkeley and the University of California at Los Angeles. Los Angeles), Stanford University, University of San Diego and Pepperdine University.

At the same time, EDHEC constantly strengthens interdisciplinary content in the course. Recently added projects include a joint training project with ESJ Lille, a double-degree project with Mines ParisTech in the field of sustainable finance, and a double-degree project with Eurecom in the direction of Internet of Things.

Before coming to EDHEC, I got a bachelor's degree in business from the University of West Georgia. During my undergraduate course, I had the opportunity to travel with the National Geographic Society. This makes me very eager to see things outside my hometown. At this moment, I asked a very important question: "If I want to be the vice president of international operations of a company in the next 30 to 40 years, what do I need to change now to do it?" It is this problem that prompted me to study in France and join EDHEC.
