J’ai pu accéder au programme BBA, en fin 2019. C’est un programme en 4 ans avec environ 2 ans à l’étranger. La vie étudiante fut le plus important. Un des atout de notre programme est que nous avons vécu plus de 1 an et demi à l’étranger. Toutes ces expériences ont été pour moi extrêmement bénéfique. De nature observateur, j’ai énormément appris sur autrui en général et je suis capable d’analyser une personnalité facilement. Durant ces qu’âtres années et meme avant cette école, j’ai toujours su m’entourer de bonnes personnes, qui ont toujours eu un impact positif sur ma vie. Les cours et stages furent également déterminant mais le coté social fut capital.

The program offers a variety of course, from finance, to geopolitics. For the first two years you are assigned courses and you do not select them. The third year is abroad and in the final year you have to specialise in a certain area (finance, sales management...). Regarding the courses, I do feel like there is sometimes a lack of professionalism and respect from certain professors in their way of teaching, however overall the content is interesting and useful. Furthermore, many of the courses require one or multiple presentations as well as assignments and exams.

L'école de commerce Excelia m'à permis d'avoir une vie associative très enrichissante avec la possibilité de gérer différents projets associatifs ce qui m'a permis de faire rapidement des rencontres avec les autres étudiants. D'un point de vue plus scolaire, Excelia nous met en relation avec de nombreux intervenants qui nous permettent de découvrir des cours à travers leurs yeux de professionnels. De plus, la mise en place de la mission humanitaire obligatoire permet une certaine ouverture d'esprit.
