Management Science, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
it's your choice whether you're taking easy or harder courses. Professors are pretty good at teaching. You have to speak French to integrate into the French student community.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I was doing CEMS program courses, they differ from the rest. If you are doing CEMS and into marketing I would strongly recommend to do a luxury certificate - intensive course on marketing strategies for luxury companies.

Course recommendations:
- chose french classes => a lot of international students only spoke English and didn't improve their French at all. I didn't care too much about the subject but more about the language

ACADEMIC
by Anna, St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russia
Business Studies, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Just check the syllabus before, as the title of the course and your imagination about it content can be quite different =)) And if you know local students - ask for advice concerning the Professor, as usually each course is taught by different professors (due to high number of students).
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Maybe more computers in the University. Although there is WiFi in the residence and LAN, still people without laptops can have problems cause of the limited number of PC provided in the University. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I took the major "Europe" and I was disappointed by the quality of the courses. The teachers were mainly externals, not professors.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Studuying at HEC is very practical. Books were not used a lot and there were not a lot of exams. More often the evaluation was base on a case study, a presentation or a study paper. Presence at the courses is mandatory. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
