How has your Master’s degree advanced your professional career?

The program equipped me in many different ways and gave me the structure and confidence to take the next steps in my professional journey. I am convinced that the experiences I gained during this time will continue to benefit me for the rest of my life.

What made the program so impactful was its combination of theory and practice. Through a variety of hands-on projects (often in collaboration with renowned companies) we had the chance to act as consultants, showcase our ideas and solutions in environments that mirrored real business challenges. At the same time, teamwork was an integral part: sometimes we could choose our groups, but more often we worked in randomly assigned teams. This required adaptability and resilience, and it helped me discover the roles I naturally assume in a team, sharpen my awareness of my strengths, and learn where I can grow by drawing on the expertise of others.

Another decisive factor was the guidance of experienced professors who not only shared their deep knowledge but also opened up their professional networks to us. Moreover, we worked with case studies and conducted a business simulation game. I’d say the most valuable aspect, however, was the diversity of my classmates. Learning alongside peers from many different backgrounds broadened my perspective and created a dynamic environment. Overall, the experiences I gained at ESCP have a lasting impact on the way I approach challenges in my career today.

Would you consider pursuing a Master’s degree today as a key step in building your career?

I’d definitely consider pursuing a master’s degree today. But there is a saying: “The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again.”. With that comes the need for Business Schools to remain flexible and responsive - integrating tools and technologies that are shaping the modern workplace. What could help I think is offering program courses on how to build agents or trainings around Copilot, prompting and further state-of-the-art tools. Yet beyond the theoretical knowledge, what makes such a program invaluable is the practical experience it provides. Immersing oneself in real projects, collaborating with diverse peers, and applying concepts in practice changed the way I act in a professional context. Pursuing my Master’s equipped me to navigate the wide range of situations and challenges that define young people’s entry into professional life.
