Student Testimony
Raphaëlla PITROU TURC
Management Controller, Devoteam
Over the last two years of my studies, I took the Audit & Management Control specialization in work-study format at the French National Postal Service, following a successful internship. I was not sure which specialization to opt for but the choice I made offered comprehensive and essential training in corporate management, providing the knowledge I felt I needed to apply for senior positions.
Following a road trip of just over a month in Italy to celebrate my graduation, I began attending interviews for positions on an unlimited term contract. I am very happy with the study path I took through Paris School of Business. The faculty are attentive to your needs and deliver top-notch classes.
