EMBA is more than an educational experience. I enjoyed  the high level professors, the administrative staff professionalism and the SMU university atmosphere. It was a great  opportunity to upgrade my leadership and communication skills and showed me new ways of critical thinking. The EMBA was above my initial expectations as it combines theory with real life business cases. So, I felt confident to take the next step in my career. I recommend EMBA not only to executives but also to every ambitious manager. I’m honoured to be a member of EMBA alumni.

The click of change in Career. 

The experience began in 2009 with an executive MBA, a come back to school 16 years after my Bachelor Degree in accounting management, feeling annoyed with routine at work, I registered for an Executive MBA program at the South Mediterranean University, and the click has come.  

10 years after graduation, I believe that the EMBA Diploma is the origin of my career evolution.  

I still remember my excitement at the end of every module, when back to work I put into practice every learning course, it’s a strong feeling of getting solutions for every problem, I feel armed with all the tools to overcome difficulties at work. 

The experience with SMU did not stop at this level, as I participated in all executive trainings on the campus and encouraged my collaborators to take part every time the topic corresponds to their profile. Each training has its invaluable added value. 

As a manager, I took advantage in developing valuable projects for my company realized by students on the occasion of the end of study projects.  

However, as a jury member for students final projects in Master program, I certify the high quality education that guarantee graduated students to be a valuable asset for companies.  

With a parent cap, I feel a special pleasure and honor to see my son graduated from the South Mediterranean University and actually running his own business.

The university abounds of uplifting people — staff and students alike — with whom you get to hone your “people skills”, and thus be ready to tackle business issues one’s will be facing in the professional world.

The five-year experience at the MSB (Mediterranean School of Business) was a turning point in my life. 

 It was so fruitful at both scientific and human levels.  

There I acquired lots of knowledge and skills that have greatly enriched my scientific background and paved the way to professional life in a smooth way.  

It was also a golden chance to mix with others and learn from them. In fact, I gained so many communicative skills from that experience.  

MSB was not just a place of study. It was a hive full of life in its broad meaning.  

MSB is more than an educational experience and the best is to make friends for life.

As expected, the very good professors teaching us and the exclusive culture of leadership, entrepreneurship, management and communication that prevailed impacted me a lot. 

Studying at the MSB gives you a very realistic overview of professional life through the theoretical but also several practical courses, workshops...                    

As a young businessperson, I had the opportunity to be hired very quickly after graduating from a position that met my expectations. 

And was also aligned with all the knowledge and skills that I acquired during my studies. 

Overall, MSB made me grow personally and professionally.

MSB is not just a simple business school where you are prepared to the professional world and benefit from a great curriculum.  

It is an experience of a lifetime that opens the doors of success to its students and makes them adapt in a constantly changing environment.  

My journey with MSB lasted 5 full years starting with a license in Business Administration, engaging in as a master’s degree in finance to close the adventure with a unique research paper publication in the Journal of Finance and Accounting.  

At MSB, you acquire soft skills, you experience self-development, and you develop your creativity and team spirit in unexpected ways.  

This enabled me to take an impactful step in the consulting world, where I am gaining expertise day after day at WEVIOO.  

If you are turned towards the future, take the direction of MSB.

"A career elevator that always moves in the same direction, always upwards" This is how I define "MSB".  

From the first steps, the ascent to heaven begins with the acquisition of invaluable knowledge.  

After two years of executive MBA at MSB, I developed my skills in management, communication and business market analysis which allowed me to see many business and friendship opportunities.  

As an immediate result of this experience, I was promoted to a more important position in my organization. A position with more responsibilities and challenges that I manage with more efficiency.  

MSB journey is a life changing experience.  

Thank you "MSB"!

Having the will to always undertake new responsibilities, I grew to value challenges.

Even though I had to face obstacles that taught me not to give up, I learned to adapt and change my course of actions thus, MSB has positively impacted me to develop my entrepreneurial skills and mindset through the enriching academic curriculum.

As a result, I have become self-employed, and I have developed my own projects.

Certainly, it was not easy to keep my breath for two and a half years without holidays, neither to study something that totally turns from my first field of work and finally to study English while being French speaking in the first place. 

But success is always proof of will, ambition and perseverance. 

The result is more than a diploma to add to my CV. 

I have acquired new knowledge, skills, and qualities. 

I have made friends for life and know teachers from all over the world with a lot of knowledge and am ready to help at any time. 

I cannot believe that this journey has ended, and another chapter of my life emerged. 

Founding my own startup and applying what I learnt was a challenge that I am taking till now.

In all Honestly, finding jobs and internships while being a student from Mediterranean School of Business is not that hard. The school’s reputation played a key role in allowing me to land the professional experiences that I had.

My summer internship at Deloitte is the best one I have had. Working in the financial advisory department was quite challenging for me but I had appropriate background knowledge acquired from MSB, as well as the support and guidance of the professors and faculty members. 

Other than technical knowledge, the school emphasizes soft skills and personality development, which really come in handy afterwards. 

I will forever cherish the wonderful memories I have had at MSB, as well as the endless lessons I have learnt. 

I am currently a Project Management Officer- PMO at ENTRAC International, subsidiary of EPPM (find link below), both based at LAC 2, since September. 

ENTRAC is an international engineering, trading and consultancy company, founded in 2006 (I guess) and is specialized in the exportation of machinery and equipment in the Oil & Gas fields.

EPPM (société mère) is an engineering, procurement, and project management company, dealing with projects in the Oil & Gas, Water Treatment, and Industry fields (mostly OIL projects). EPPM is a Tunisian company but grew to become a multinational, with numerous branches in Angola, Algeria… It is currently signing a deal with Saudi Arabian Oil Company ARAMCO. 

I also worked at a startup called Go My code, during the summer, right after my end-of-studies internship at KPMG.

The most enjoyable experience of this program is when I had the opportunity to meet with professionals, employers and highly qualified national and international professors.This gave me the chance to research many studies pertaining to various aspects of business. In addition to that, MSB opened me up to sheer breadth of the industry thanks to its large network and the internship opportunities that it offers.

Alumnus Finance

I am an M2 student specializing in Corporate Finance, and last summer I had an internship within a brokerage firm. 

Despite the precision of the concepts we are studying, life is not that predictable, and it will throw you into many situations that you’ve never seen between the walls of a classroom. 

During the month of my internship, I have seen how the concepts that we learn to value firms and make predictions on stocks can be completely useless, and in those moments, I learned to adapt, ask busy people to mentor, learn new ways to do things and for me this is what internships are for.

That is why, in my opinion, the difference between an excellent financial analyst and a mediocre one is how one can deal with these improbable scenarios. 

The skill to do so comes from the quality and quantity of your professional experiences, experiences that SMU and the Career Center are constantly working to provide us.

Before this adventure, although I studied medical science and was an active physiotherapist, I came to notice that this field was not the right one for me as it did not fulfil my expectations. 

The moment I decided to enrol in SMU's MBM program, I doubtlessly knew it was a great challenge for me considering I come from a different background.

However, throughout this experience, I learned that one should face such challenges and grow with them. 

The MBM program made me acquire a big passion in the Finance field.

Its diverse courses and professors kept pushing my boundaries and encouraged me to devote myself to expanding my knowledge and skills, to strive for and reach all my goals and achieve what I really favour. 

MSB taught me that everything is possible if I believe, be dedicated, and work hard. 

Today I hold a master's degree in Finance, and I have never been proud of this choice.

I co-founded my startup, Vynd, while I was still a student at MSB, therefore I did my final studies’ project within my company. 

At that time, the idea of starting my own business at an early age seemed like a dead-end for some and courageous decision for others. But for me, it was the normal path I was born for.

Entrepreneurship has always been a passion for me. We live in a continuously changing environment where entrepreneurs are leading actors. They are in the front row to recognize gaps and make a drastic change. 

Through vision and perseverance, entrepreneurs enhance their environment, take initiatives, and help countries to thrive. They employ people and change their lives. They are leaders and hope providers. They are the wealth of every country and the pride of every nation. 

This belief has always been my mantra and the reason that kept me pushing forward. 

Today, Vynd became one of the most well-known and funded startups in Tunisia. 

It changed the lives of a hundred thousand users and helped hundreds of restaurants. 

It employs more than twenty dreamers and is planning to expand outside the country.

As analytics professionals, MSB did not only provide us with state-of-the-art knowledge and techniques transmitted from highly qualified national and international faculty, but also enabled us to become efficient team players, communicators, and future decision makers. 

MSB also pushes their students to tap more into their potential, by offering innovative pedagogical approaches and high-end facilities.

Also, now that I've been an MSB student for some semesters, I have discovered the professionalism of SMU's Career Center Department as well. 

They manage to provide us with the best jobs and internship opportunities. It's sure one of the most important strengths of MSB / SMU!

Throughout my studies at MSB I had the opportunity to meet many incredible people. Since my first year I have already been part of the student life community and Enactus SMU. I was also one of the founders of the Lions Club and became one of the ambassadors of the EFMD Platform Highered. These volunteering experiences helped me learn many new skills.  In my second year I became the student life coordinator at MSB, this job is an amazing experience as it helped me grow and become more organized in my studies. Thanks to MSB I had the opportunity to participate and co-organize many hackathons, one of them was the biggest one in Africa AI HACK. This hackathon was one of the best experiences in my life as I had the opportunity to meet many people from Google Mena that have always inspired me. When I first joined MSB, I would have never thought that I would be able to do all of this, I always thought that I was more up for engineering studies. But with time I saw the potential of a business student in me. Thanks to the professors and the amazing community we have here I even got the chance to start and become the project manager of a sustainable clothing line with Enactus. II will forever be thankful.


One piece of advice I can give is to always believe that you are capable of more, that’s the key to success.

I had the opportunity to discover public speaking in Enactus, as well as communication and event organizing with student life.

Before enrolling in SMU, my life was monotonous. All I did was study and go home and I never thought that there was anything beyond academics. After joining SMU, I learned that studies are very important but not enough, that you had to practice what you learned in their classrooms, that it was primordial to build and shape my soft skills while i had the change, so I joined the student life and took a half time job on campus, founded an online magazine for the university, participated in various competitions and even went up for class representative. The reason behind me joining this university is the education they provide and the extracurricular activities they encourage. You might think that clubs and activities might distract me from my studies. Well, I wouldn’t be so sure because my grades and GPA went up, my confidence as well and my time management was better, making me an excellent student but also an even better manager.

I was torn between choosing MSB and another college to enroll in. What attracted me to considering MSB is its exchange program framework, and the college's recognition for world-class business education. It was certainly a decision I do not regret. The courses offered were distinctive and relevant, the facilities were adapted to meet the curricular and recreational needs of the students and the professors were brilliant! There was a great deal of knowledge to be gained from them and as well as my peers from around the globe. The career center was particularly of great help, organizing job fairs, providing numerous internship opportunities and even arranging company visits that were very relevant to what I studied in theory and I was able to further witness how major businesses are run in Tunisia. No day is similar to the other in SMU and the possibilities to partake in activities both in and out of university are incessant mainly due to the student life department. Furthermore, I engage in social, career-oriented and educational activities and gatherings, building connections including friendships for a lifetime and making my time in SMU truly unforgettable.

For my internship at NewTech International, I worked in the marketing department and led their rebranding project. 

Working at NewTech INT proved to be a great opportunity to be introduced to the world of Cyber and data Security.

Although my knowledge of the industry was limited, being part of the SMU allowed me to reach out to the existing network of engineering students, at the Mediterranean Institute of Technology. 

This network was especially helpful during the process of market research which enabled me to easily navigate the new flow of information received.

My marketing studies at MSB provided me with the basic knowledge to carry on this project. 

However, my communications with my professors served as a catalyzer for my progress, especially in the limited amount of time I had.

Part of my duties was to, also, provide the HR resources the project needed, from graphic designers to web developers, I was able to precure all the necessary profiles from the diverse pool that I acquired throughout the years.

During my time at NewTech INT, I had the opportunity to apply my academic and professional skillset. Along with becoming acquainted with the IT industry, which gave me a little taste of what I wanted to do in the future; to become a software developer. 

A combination of the latter as well as the different skills and experiences I acquired during my time at SMU fits the versatile professional I would like to become.

"Attending MSB has been my primary goal since high school as I aimed to pursue an international career in Management. Comparatively, MSB proved to be the best fit to achieve that goal. I must say that I was happily surprised by the first months in MSB, as I honestly did not expect that the quality of the courses and the pedagogy of the professors would be that high and that good. They exceeded my expectations!

Indeed, MSB is not your regular business school that exclusively offers management courses and sticks to the traditional teaching methods and syllabus content. It offers unique opportunities and experiences on several levels, namely volunteering work, summer school and exchanges programs, team building, creativity, and problem-solving experiences to name a few.

I am most grateful to many of the MSB professors that designed an impressive curriculum that later allowed me to qualify and apply to quality universities all over the world. I finally chose to pursue two master’s degrees in business administration and international relations in Geneva, Switzerland as I was deeply impacted by what we have learnt in some courses, namely human rights, ethics, and politics. Today, I work as an international consultant in research and market linkages in a United Nations/World Trade Organization trade development agency, for which I still use skills and lessons taught to me by MSB professors".

I graduated from MSB back in 2013. My last exam day was also my first workday!! I was recruited by Poulina Group Holding and went on to become, at 23 years old, one of their youngest managers, occupying the role of Regional Controller in China. I am now almost 31 and have already had a very rich and diversified international career which included a failed export company in Hong Kong. Absolutely no regrets and more laughter than tears! I earned another degree, in Diplomacy from the University of Birmingham, which I did for myself - food for the soul - all the while striving to earn more contracts and clients. This was before finally settling back in Tunisia and opening my strategic communications advisory firm Impart Peace, with clients spreading on 3 continents and ranging from governmental institutions to international organizations.

Ahmed Jamoussi

( UPM Alumni 2014)Management

It all started back in September 2011 when I had the chance and the privilege to join MSB for a License degree. Three years later and after my graduation, I decided to pursue a Master in Operations Management. Just after completing all the required courses in the OM specialization, I caught a great opportunity to conduct a Research Internship in the United States and more specifically in the Industrial Engineering and Management Department of Oklahoma State University. Indeed, I wrote a chapter with the assistance of my adviser about Facilities Design and Planning related to different topics in Logistics and Supply Chain Management published in the book called The Routledge Companion to Production and Operations Management. 

Back in Tunisia, I was hired at Elektron, a multinational company, where I conducted my Final Internship Project. From the industry sector where I had the opportunity to apply what I have learned in Operations, I moved to Accompany Consulting. In this company, acting mainly in Banking and Insurance, I used my knowledge in Strategy, Operations, Technology, Risk, Control and Digitalization.

This second experience helped me narrow my interest: Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence coupled with Digital Transformation. Therefore, I moved to Devoteam, a consulting firm that delivers Innovative Technology services for businesses.

The MSB path was a turning point in my life. During my LBA, I was able to gain significant knowledge thanks to reel ongoing case studies, supporting me to shape a global perspective on current business practices and trends, as well as enhancing my soft skills thanks to interactive sessions and presentations. Apart from that, many conferences were organized internally on a weekly basis, helping me extend my network and learn fundamental tools on the professional life which I like to re-call the jungle (one of my favorite professor´ expression). In retrospect, I am grateful for joining MSB and SMU Community as it opened noteworthy doors for the future.

I was able to meet and work with a few of the SMU Alumni about different projects and I have learned all about their success stories. Also, this allowed me to expand my network thanks to the fact that we work in a close collaboration with the Career center. I have worked on different projects, to engage and involve our Alumni in different ways. I was responsible of the implementation of effective communication and development activities, special events and projects, and Alumni Ambassadors programs. I also communicated and interacted with the SMU staff and students and most importantly Alumni to build a beneficial relation between different stakeholders. I worked also on improving the services provided by the Alumni Association and what helped me the most is being an Alumna as I was able to understand the needs and wants of the Alumni to strengthen the links between the SMU and the Alumni and to always keep them part of the SMU community.

From the beginning I knew that studying at MSB would be special. I have met wonderful people, friends, professors, and faculty. Many have had a great impact on me. Somehow my business administration studies have brought me closer to my arts. MSB taught me to navigate between my business side and my artistic side. To me both are equally important. Well maybe one is a bit more important than the other but hey, let’s just pretend for a while since this is going in SMU’s catalog. All jokes aside, my journey in MSB was fulfilling and fruitful. Therefore, as soon as I graduated, I was able to launch my carpooling startup and my first music album.

I went to the United States for the pursue of my path, I joined Stratford University in October 2019 and I just graduated this month with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, I missed some credits to apply for Master`s so I am done with it. 

I was rewarded 2 times for the last 2 terms with the President list award after having an "A" or 4.00 out of 4.00 as GPA. I also got certificates from LinkedIn e-learning platforms on social media, marketing and communication and business development topics. 

I am now going for Master`s degree in MIS Management Information Systems as I believe it is so important to combine both worlds, IT and Business together.

I also had a small career at work, I started with an administrative assistant of Stratford University as an international student worker and I worked on many projects in several offices regarding registrar, communication, student life, admission and international student offices.

Then, I was chosen to be the primary assistant of the president of one of 4 campuses that belongs to Stratford University where I was working on files that are highly classified, councils and heads of departments.  

Lately, I was assigned to take care of all the administrative and important projects for the Vice President of Stratford University head administration, collaborating with doctors, managers and highly skilled and experienced people who are very inspiring.

I also made a promotional video of the university talking about my experience as an international student here and working on many other campaigns and advertisements related to the organization I am working for.

People are impressed by the work I am doing as they express and announce it and I would always give credits to MSB for enhancing my growth as a person and for helping me have a profile that would add value to other organizations.

I am working on projects that would give opportunities to students from SMU to continue their studies here in the U.S.A and a partnership between both institutions.

In terms of professional experience, I have worked for 1 year and a half as a research assistant in International Economics at ESCP Berlin and am currently working as a Business Development Manager in a biotechnology company also in Berlin.

Regarding my text, kindly let me know if it meets your expectations.

I graduated from MSB in 2017 with a major in Finance. The university provided me with the support system and values that I needed to pursue a degree abroad. During those years, MSB was very open to new ideas such as the creation of the innovation lab and founding Enactus SMU in which I took part, respectively. We had the opportunity to work closely with the faculty members and professors and were always encouraged to initiate, create and dream. This enabled me to grow with an entrepreneurial mindset and a go-getter attitude that I have always kept and that are beneficial for my current job and master's degree. MSB also cared about my academic evolution and awarded me with a merit scholarship that encouraged me to work harder and dream bigger. It is a university that gives you the tools and the support system that you need in any working environment and studies. As a student you have to take advantage of them as they will enable you to face challenges and experiences that you might undertake at home or abroad."

I am currently enrolled in a master’s program at INSA business school in Barcelona, Spain.

 Earning a bachelor’s degree from the Mediterranean school of business opened the doors for international studies thanks to its 100% English curriculum, with English being the business language. The background of MSB’s students is very rich in terms of material studied; finance, management, marketing, entrepreneurial courses, history …  which in return, in addition to the international reach, gave me a wider range of fields to choose from. Some graduates choose to pursue master’s studies, others to start working, I chose both. 

I chose a less heavy master’s program, night hours, so that I can start my long-term internship here in Barcelona. Going through many interviews, I found myself able to discuss technical terms with employers and to show my background in the skills required for the positions. 

The effort exerted by SMU in offering internship opportunities to students via email is important and beneficial because professional experience is what is going to make a difference between one graduate and another when being recruited.

And apart from the things I learned and improved in that specific internship; MedTech taught me much more than theories, it gave a new outlook on engineering and how technologies around us such us smart phones and computers were created.

The last two years have been very rich in activities carried out and efforts to reposition the SMU Alumni Association and raise the  brand and awareness among the SMU University staff and Alumni and bring them closer to the values and good practices of Alumni associations worldwide. One of my self-imposed goals during this term as president of SMU Alumni Association (SAA) has been to foster relationships among our Board of Directors, Alumni members as well as students. Strong relationships have been critical to the success of our term. As fellow Alumni of SMU University, we quickly became colleagues, collaborators and—most of all—friends. I’m confident that the valuable relationships we have forged will continue well into the future.

 It has been a distinct and honor for me to serve as president of SAA. This has been one of the greatest satisfactions I have had in a volunteer role—and definitely the most fun.

C’est l’année qui nous a poussé à tellement de changements dans notre manière de vivre, de nous comporter et de travailler.

C’est l’année qui a apporté à chacun d’entre nous plusieurs challenges, personnels et professionnels.

C’est l’année qui nous a mené à de nombreuses transformations dans nos entreprises et qui nous a montré que derrière tout changement, il y a une opportunité.

2020 c’est aussi l’année du premier Mini MBA à la MSB !

Comme vous l’avez compris, nous aussi durant ce Mini MBA nous avons dû nous adapter à de multiples contraintes (présentielle, Hybride, à distance) et de changements de programmation dû à la Covid 19.

Tous ensemble, nous y sommes parvenus grâce notamment au professionnalisme de l’équipe de la MSB, la disponibilité des professeurs qui malgré le décalage horaire avec le Canada, ont pu remplir parfaitement et avec compétence tous les cours programmés.

Pour nous « les étudiants », Chefs d’entreprise, Cadres supérieurs, cette expérience nous a permis de nous replonger dans le magnifique milieu estudiantin tout en partageant tous ensemble nos différentes expériences professionnelles.

Ce Mini MBA a été pour nous une opportunité de nous redécouvrir, mieux nous connaitre à travers de multiples cas pratiques avec l’aide de professeurs compétents, maitrisant parfaitement leur sujet.

Les différents modules étudiés ont répondu à l’ensemble des compétences que doit maitriser un bon manager.

Jeunes ou moins jeunes, nous avons tous utilisé cette jeunesse pour apprendre le plus de choses possibles et de nous éloigner de l’ignorance tout en nous rapprochant jour après jours de nos rêves !

My name is Dana Al Darras a software engineering student in Medtech. When I first applied to the university we were told about the job fair, an annual event where we get to meet and connect with various companies on our own campus. The concept was mindblowing but I as a first-year student it was a bit intimidating as we had no experience in building a personal brand, a CV,  a LinkedIn portfolio or any of the requirements that make a student a considerable candidate for internships and jobs in those companies. However, the week of the job fair, the university's career center offered us an extensive series of workshops and lectures that helped me build a strong business persona that qualified me as an eligible candidate for an internship I applied for. Thanks to the two job fairs i have attended on the course of the past two years, I've completed two internships, had over three job offers, and gained a strong network of connections that came in handy when I launched my own startup this year.

Throughout my studies at MSB, i had the opportunity to meet many incredible people. Being active in many clubs helped me a lot. Since my first year, I was already part of the student life community and Enactus SMU. I also was one of the founders of the Lions Club and became one of the ambassadors of the EFMD Platform Highered. These extrasolar activities helped me learn many new skills. I had the opportunity to discover public speaking in Enactus and Communication and event organizing with student life. In my second year, I became the student life coordinator at MSB, this job is an amazing experience as it helped me grow and become more organized in my studies. Thanks to MSB I had the opportunity to participate and co-organize many hackathons, one of them was the biggest one in Africa AI HACK. This hackathon was one of the best experiences in my life as I had the opportunity to meet many people from Google Mena that had always inspired me. When I first joined MSB, I would have never thought that I will be able to do all of this, I always thought that I was more up for engineering studies. But with time I saw the potential of a business student in me and thanks to the professors and the amazing community we have here I even got the chance to start and become the project manager of a sustainable clothing line with Enactus. In two years I learned a lot and grow so much. I will forever be thankful. One piece of advice I can give is to always believe that you are capable of more, that’s the key to success.

As an ambassador of Highered SMU and more precisely Medtech, I had a pleasure to work during all this month with the platform representative Stefano. Our first challenge was to welcome a maximum of students from our university within the platform. All this continued during this period of confinement. Our last challenge which is still in progress is that of having a maximum of online internships and a virtual Career Fair.

I enrolled in the UPM program in 2014 after graduating with a license in management at MSB. This was an obvious choice for me as I wanted to pursue a career in consulting in Europe and the UPM program at MSB was the most complete program to answer my needs.  My time at MSB as a master's student in business analytics and Big Data marked a tipping point in my professional career. My specific aim was to learn how to make sense of and derive intelligence from the increasing amounts of data that businesses hold about their operations and customers. I wanted to understand and learn about the latest trends available to tackle contemporary business challenges. Usefully, MSB additionally provides soft skills-related courses such as public speaking and professional presentations to complement the technical skills taught in the core subjects. At the same time, the class environment was genuinely enjoyable, and the 2 years were valuable and rewarding experiences at a personal level. Today, 4 years after graduating from MSB, I can confirm that choosing the MSB UPM program was the right decision as I am currently holding a project manager position working with digitalization projects throughout Europe.

HEC Program Student

I graduated from the ISC (International Scholl of Carthage) with honors (14.2/20) in the scientific baccalaureate series. After a sabbatical year where I learned German and other languages and did various training, I heard about the MSB-HEC Montreal partnership. It was for my discovery and I was able, after passing my entrance tests, to integrate the program. From the first year, I was able to establish a large network which, each in its own way, brought me the added value and with whom I shared my experiences. This richness in the sharing of knowledge taught me a lot, whether it was from the inside with the students or from the outside with teachers or characters who came to testify to their "success stories". I was also impressed by the quality of the teachers, some of whom came especially from HEC Montreal to give us classes. The extra-curricular atmosphere is also rich and omnipresent throughout the various clubs that the campus offers. I consider the preparatory year to be very important in order to be at the level required to integrate the North American university system.

Now I am a Software engineer, data scientist at Think-it (A Tech Tuniso-german company based in Tunis that works with international companies), and I can say that my three years of engineering at MedTech have a huge impact on what I achieved until now. 

I am also a teaching assistant at Medtech, I manage a team at Think-it and worked on different projects in machine learning, Natural Language Processing and Computer vision fields.

During my EMBA studies, I felt like I was traveling during each course, relentlessly studying success stories around the world, and cases where courage and bravery to undertake risks were the key words! 

I finished my studies with the conviction that I no longer had the right to continue working according to the same model as before, and that I had to seek out strategies that create diversity, and innovation. And, that’s how the Hotel La Badira was born. I would never have thought of doing it without the indisputable contribution of these two wonderful years I spent at MSB.

My education at the Mediterranean School of Business (MSB) has been a cornerstone in shaping both my professional career and personal development. The well-rounded program at MSB, which encompassed subjects like sociology, history, finance, and mathematics, provided me with a broad academic foundation. This diverse curriculum was complemented by practical courses in public speaking, business writing, entrepreneurship, and leadership, ensuring I gained essential soft skills alongside technical knowledge.

1. Comprehensive Curriculum and Soft Skills: The inclusion of a wide array of subjects and hands-on courses at MSB allowed me to acquire a well-rounded education. The emphasis on public speaking and group work was particularly beneficial, as it honed my communication and collaboration skills, which are crucial in any professional setting. This diverse education not only broadened my mind but also helped me identify my passion for finance and business, guiding my decision to pursue a master's degree.

2. Extracurricular Engagement and Critical Thinking: Founding the debate club at MSB was a pivotal experience for me. It significantly enhanced my critical thinking, reasoning, and research skills. The club provided a platform for engaging discussions and debates, which improved my public speaking abilities and confidence. These experiences were instrumental in developing my analytical mindset and ability to articulate ideas effectively.

3. Global Perspective and Opportunities:

One of my MSB professors introduced me to the Thomas Jefferson Scholarship in the USA, which I was fortunate to receive along with a select group of Tunisians. This scholarship marked my first experience abroad and transformed me into a global citizen. The exposure to different cultures and international perspectives enriched my understanding of global markets and finance, which has been invaluable in my career.

4. Advanced Education and Career Path: After discovering Catolica Business School of Business and Economics in Lisbon through its partnership with MSB, I decided to pursue an MSc in Finance there. This advanced education provided a strong foundation in financial analysis and investment strategies. My master’s program included an exchange semester in Thailand, which further broadened my international experience. My subsequent roles in a hedge fund and a fintech in Paris allowed me to diversify my expertise and adapt to various financial environments. Today, as the Group Head of Marketing at an investment bank, I leverage my extensive background to drive strategic growth and offer innovative financing solutions.

In conclusion, the Mediterranean School of Business played a crucial role in shaping my career trajectory and personal growth. The comprehensive education, practical skills, and international opportunities I gained at MSB have equipped me with the tools and mindset needed to succeed in the dynamic world of finance and marketing.

I extend my deepest gratitude to SMU for the outstanding education that has been pivotal in shaping my professional endeavors. As I am reflecting on my academic and career path, I realize that SMU played a crucial role in forging my professional success and personal growth.

The comprehensive and rigorous curriculum at SMU laid a strong foundation, enabling me to intern in the United States upon completing my bachelor’s degree, and eventually secure a position as a Financial Valuation Analyst at Deloitte, one of the Big Four global accounting firms, setting the seal on my capstone internship project. 

Specializing in finance during my master’s years at SMU, I gained valuable hands-on knowledge of practical business concepts, which paved the way for me to delve into the world of ERP consulting. In fact, as a testimony to SMU’s top-tier education, I firmly believe that my academic journey was instrumental in honing my technical acumen and advancing my interpersonal skills; thereby, smoothing my transition from the lecture halls into a dynamic career in ERP consulting as a QAD Financial Systems Consultant. 

Ultimately, it is noteworthy to mention that the outcome of such a distinctive learning opportunity was definitely one of continuous improvement, depicting proficiency in superintending and resolving over 300 support activities along with end-to-end implementation projects, issuing relevant recommendations, and all in all delivering superior value to multinational clients such as LEAR Corporation and LEM International SA through meeting their processes specifications, whilst aligning those with the capabilities of the ERP system. 

Whether it be the undergraduate or graduate program, SMU’s curriculum introduces students to a plethora of real-world case studies and a myriad of in-class projects that not only harness their hard and soft skillset, but most notably foster their sound character traits encapsulating a strong sense of accountability when confronted with challenging scenarios.  

I have personally achieved a refined versatility threshold in both finance and IT, leveraging the invaluable insights derived from the wisdom bequeathed by my dear professors, all without exception, to whom I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the mentorship and unwavering support throughout my university years. Indeed, I feel profoundly indebted, as their guidance carved a unique avenue towards embracing a transformative experience setting the stage for upcoming ventures. 

At face value, SMU’s top-notch educational programs unequivocally epitomizes one of the most esteemed international standards that captures an exhaustive curricular and extracurricular environment, delineating a holistic approach to a stellar educational input; hence, as a pure product of this renowned university, I can wholeheartedly and assuredly attest of the blue-chip competitive advantage that SMU imparted me with, since the up-to-date methodologies adopted across its course of study encompass a substantial depth in keeping with the requirements of today’s volatile labor market. 

SMU is ongoingly instilling an unparalleled work ethic among aspiring professionals, which in turn yields a significant differentiation conveyed by means of students’ monumental dedication, astounding qualifications, as well as their enduring in-demand core competencies; serving as a testament to the institution’s solid grounding relayed through an established blueprint that is closely empowering graduates’ vision towards potential uncovering and expertise unlocking, in addition to promoting self-discovery of one’s own intrinsic value.

Reflecting back, SMU has been instrumental for two main reasons: the Entrepreneurship of the Future competition and the emphasis on English proficiency. The competition not only introduced me to the world of entrepreneurship but also ignited a passion within me that continues to drive my endeavors today. Moreover, SMU's dedicated focus on English significantly enhanced my proficiency, playing a pivotal role in securing a scholarship opportunity in the U.S. This not only provided me with academic opportunities but also confirmed my entrepreneurial path. 

To current SMU students, I would advise them to cherish their time at SMU and to enjoy it to the fullest. These days will be remembered fondly, and the experiences gained here will shape their futures in ways they may not yet realize.

Living and studying in diverse cultural contexts have greatly influenced my approach to problem-solving and innovation. Exposure to different educational systems and professional environments has allowed me to adapt and thrive in various roles despite the young age. My last position after almost four years as an E-Learning and Outreach Expert with the United Nations Development Program Regional Office in Europe and Central Asia, where I lead and implement international crowdfunding academies, is a testament to the comprehensive education and guidance I received at MSB and beyond.

Beyond my formal roles, I’ve been actively engaged in promoting critical thinking and youth empowerment. As a community manager for CreativeNess, I’ve worked to bridge the gap between young people and the political scene in Tunisia. Additionally, my participation in the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network Youth Program and receiving scholarships like the Caux Scholars Program and the American University' Research grant have been pivotal in personal and professional careers.

My belief in the power of education and community engagement drives me every day. I am committed to fostering positive social change and creating inclusive development opportunities for youth and marginalized communities worldwide.

This course was the first trial with my cohort, and it was a success. I have been following its progress, and I am glad to see that it is still being continued and reinforced. It makes me happy that future MSB students can benefit from it as well. The theme of our consultancy project was about the telecommunications world in Africa, and it resonated with my future manager at Orange during the interview process.

I joined MSB in 2015 for a master’s degree in business management with an engineering background in computer science and after a four-year work experience. 

Little did I know back then that this decision would enable me to make the career switch that I needed. This experience has truly been lifechanging! 

The curriculum taught at MSB is very interesting and provides students with the skills they need to face the professional world, “The Jungle” as described by my Mentor Professor Chelbi. 

Moreover, the learning environment at MSB is so stimulating with a rich student life through the various clubs constantly organizing events. Different cultures also meet at MSB with foreign students and professors, which makes it an enriching environment.

After obtaining my diploma, I landed a job as a Management Consultant in a multinational consulting firm. This opportunity was brought to me through the career fair organized by MSB. I worked there for 4 years during which I could apply the knowledge acquired at MSB and gained valuable experience.

In 2023, I decided to launch my own consulting firm specialized in management consulting that I named “Operations Management Pro Consulting” after the specialization that I chose at MSB. At OM Pro, we provide companies with assistance in the management of their transformation projects (Operational, Organizational and Digital).

You can notice how MSB has been with me every step of the way.

My journey at the Mediterranean School of Business has been a truly transformative experience. As an international student from Bujumbura, Burundi, MSB provided me with a nurturing and dynamic environment that expanded my academic and personal horizons. Pursuing a degree in Business Management with a minor in Finance, I was fortunate to apply at our partner university, IESEG School of Management in Paris. This opportunity significantly will enrich my educational experience and global perspective. At 25, I reflect on my time at MSB with pride and gratitude. The faculty's dedication and the practical approach to teaching equipped me with essential skills for my career. Outside the classroom, my involvement in the TIMUN Club (Tunisian International Model United Nations) was particularly memorable. Participating in debates about critical issues like the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Palestine conflict was an exciting and enlightening experience. It allowed me to share ideas, propose resolutions, and engage with diverse perspectives. Additionally, during my journey at MSB, I experienced some trips and was introduced to some memorial sites such as: Sousse Museum, Beja cheese industry and Medina de Avenue Bourguiba (Tunis).

What I take away from MSB and my experience there are the soft skills they taught us. These include the ability to present well, speak up, defend our projects, and crucially, learn to lead and be a leader by empowering our teammates to achieve their best, while also learning to be led by others.

I still remember my first presentation at MSB where I was intimidated by public speaking. By the end of my studies, public speaking and presentation became so natural, and I gained so much confidence in myself!

These skills are priceless because, in the professional world, soft skills are crucial for success and self-assertion. Today, I am the founder of NERRĀ, a US cosmetic brand launched last year, which has achieved incredible success. We've been mentioned in top magazines like Allure, Marie Claire, Elle, The Wall Street Journal, and more. Our products are used and mentioned by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and sought after by major retailers worldwide. All of this is thanks to something I lacked before MSB: discipline. Discipline in respecting deadlines, working hard to succeed, and working smart.

One of the first concepts I learned at MSB was effectiveness and efficiency. Remember these terms and listen carefully to what you're taught. Studying, being attentive in class, and preparing for quizzes, presentations or exams are not punishments but preparations for the real world and professional life. MSB is an excellent institution for preparing you for reality. Pay close attention to your professors; I had the best conversations and received the best advice from my former teachers. I still remember the case studies we had at MSB on the success stories of other brands and their strategies, some of which I replicated for NERRĀ.

So be attentive, speak up, ask many questions, and don't be intimidated. At MSB, no one will judge you because you are there to learn and make mistakes, and it is through mistakes that we learn and become ready to be among the best in the world.

Not only that, but MSB vibrant campus life was filled with a diverse range of extracurricular activities, and I was constantly encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and engage with a broad array of perspectives, which equipped me with a skill set that extends beyond the classroom. 

To say the least, I am incredibly grateful for all the opportunities and experiences at MSB that have shaped my personal and professional journey.
