The curriculum of the Master's in IS Management program is one of the best! The icing on the cake is its professors, who are project manager's from reputed organizations. This enables us to work on real time assignments and projects. The environment in the school is very professional and energetic. Now, I can proudly say that I am one of the first graduates of EPITA International Engineering Master in English!! Paris is known to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it has all the prerequisites to be called so! For all my Indian friends who are willing to do MS abroad, Paris and EPITA is a rare combination. One shall grab it, if given an opportunity. People in France are really generous and ready to help. Learning French is the most essential part to know more about culture and people. I am still in a learning process.
For my internship, I worked as a Business Analyst with Level3 Communications, Paris. Level3 is known to be one of the biggest telecommunications firm. I learned the most essential parts of business analysis and more importantly business intelligence. The internship also gave me an in hand experience of Project Management and international coordination. It was a true experience to work in a multicultural and multinational environment. Last but not the least, it has helped me grow professionally as well as personally.
