Great school, loved my time there and would definitely recommend it. I spent four incredible years across three different campuses and always felt supported. The clubs and overall student life are vibrant, and the alumni network is strong and active. It's also a highly international university, with seven campuses spread around the world, which adds a real global perspective to the experience.
I am currently enrolled in the MSc Global Luxury and Management at SKEMA, and my experience so far has been largely positive. The program combines a strong academic foundation in luxury strategy with practical immersion in the industry. The professors bring valuable professional backgrounds and many of the courses encourage critical thinking rather than simple memorisation, which I really appreciate. One of the strongest aspects of the programme is the international structure — studying in Paris and New York gives a clear understanding of how the luxury industry works in different cultural and economic contexts. The class is very diverse, which pushes you to build global communication skills and learn from different perspectives every day. Campus life in Suresnes is comfortable, and SKEMA offers many networking opportunities, guest lectures and career events. This definitely helps create connections with professionals, even though the luxury sector remains highly competitive, and students must be proactive to maximise every opportunity. In terms of improvement, some administrative processes can feel slow or unclear, especially for international students who need support with documents, visas or financial information. I also think the programme could offer even more hands-on projects with luxury brands. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience. The program demands effort, but it also gives you the tools, knowledge and international exposure to grow professionally — especially if you are motivated and willing to build your network actively.
In my opinion Skema is a good Business School, they have many campuses and the students there are every diverse. The program that I study I found it's every interesting. Overall I'm happy with the school
