For example there are many different specializations (majors) to choose from at the end of the programme. It is always a good idea to think ahead and plan out some of your future professional goals so that you make the right choice. The electives that we do before the majors can help us get a clearer idea of where we are strongest and what subjects we like the best...

She graduated in I currently work as a junior brand manager in a subsidiary of Soparind Bongrain in the Czech republic and I must say that having studied at Rouen Business School really helped me to find a good job in my country.

When you decide to study abroad, it is important not only to choose a course that you are going to enjoy and benefit from but also an environment that you will appreciate and feel safe in. Rouen is a great place to help you enjoy the experience as a whole. With a population of about half a million inhabitants, Rouen, the capital of Normandy, has always fascinated artists, writers and travelers. It attracts tourists from all around the world whether it is to discover the scenes painted by Monet and other great artists, through the memory of Joan of Arc or because they want to picture the scenes described in novels written by Victor Hugo, Flaubert or Maupassant. Rouen, the city has something for everyone with its cinemas, museums and theatres. Student perceptions of Rouen I love Rouen, with its medieval streets and dynamic atmosphere. The surrounding region is also great to explore, with beautiful places like Etretat, Honfleur, Deauville and other seaside towns just a short train or car journey away. Daria Shatyrko Ukraine My best memories in Rouen are times spent with my friends from all over the world: cooking together, studying together, going out in the evening, discovering new and nice restaurants downtown, going to Paris to visit new places or go shopping. My favorite experiences weren t just limited to Rouen though; being in Europe is an amazing opportunity to get to know so many countries and cultures. Maria Carolina Mendes de Castro - Brazil
