Located in Paris-La Défense, Europe’s largest business district, the EMLV MBA attracts professionals from around the world. Muskan, class of 2026, shares how the program’s curriculum, international exposure, and strong industry connections have helped her shape her career ambitions.
Between a multicultural learning environment and hands-on professional opportunities, Muskan highlights what makes her experience at EMLV both challenging and rewarding.
Choosing EMLV: a strategic decision
For Muskan, the choice of EMLV was guided by several factors — academic quality, global perspective, and an advantageous location.
“A school based in Europe’s biggest business district naturally offers countless opportunities to build professional connections,” she explains. Encouraged by positive feedback from EMLV alumni, she found that the MBA curriculum aligned closely with the skills required in today’s corporate world.
The comprehensive nature of the program particularly stood out to her: “Sales, IT, marketing, operations — everything is included in the MBA. In India, such integrated programs are still rare.”
This multidisciplinary approach resonates with EMLV’s positioning: developing agile and responsible managers capable of adapting to the transformations of modern business environments.
Living and studying in Paris
Moving to France was both exciting and transformative. “It’s my first time in Paris,” Muskan says. “I was told it would be difficult to adapt, but people have been genuinely helpful.” From navigating public transport to discovering the city’s culture, her experience has been marked by openness and learning.
She also emphasises the importance of learning French: “French people really appreciate it when you try to speak their language. It’s part of adapting to a new culture.”
Beyond academics, living in Paris means being immersed in one of the world’s most vibrant cities for art, business, and innovation.
Support and integration at EMLV
From the very first week, Muskan felt supported by the school’s integration program.
“We had a two-day cultural and academic orientation that explained everything — from understanding French work culture to navigating student life.”
Weekly French lessons and cultural activities further help international students settle in. Muskan also highlights career-oriented initiatives such as job fairs and networking events.
“As MBA students, building connections is key. EMLV creates many opportunities to meet recruiters and industry professionals.”
Learning for a global career
With a growing interest in sales and marketing, Muskan values the diversity of EMLV’s MBA courses.
“Few business schools have a dedicated Salesforce management course,” she notes. “Combined with modules in strategic and digital marketing, it gives me a strong foundation for my future career.”
Her goal is clear: to become a business leader with a global mindset. The mix of theory, practical learning, and international exposure makes the MBA at EMLV an ideal stepping stone.
