Student testimonials
Yohan MARTIN
Bachelor in Banking & Finance, Class of 2023
During the early days at Paris School of Business, I quickly realized that the areas of finance and financial analysis interested me a lot, hence my decision to specialize in Banking & Finance for my third year. This option has enabled me to broaden my knowledge in these areas and to feel more complete academically speaking. Alongside my studies, I have carried out internships in private banking, notably at Rothschild & Co within their back-office department. Paris School of Business played a key role in securing my choice of work-study as the school had relayed to me an opportunity to work at BNP Paribas. This in-company experience has given me the opportunity to make important personal and professional acquaintances. My path through the school and program has been very rewarding. I have especially appreciated the variety to the courses, the quality of the support you receive, and the chance to get involved in student associations. The school also provided me with a professional network and employment opportunities, not least in terms of help finding my work-study vacancy.
