From his time at ESDES, Felix remembers the company case studies he worked on in class: he thinks back to these exercises whenever he is faced with business issues (HR, development, finance, marketing…).

Andros Asia is trusting the Bachelor in International Business to train managers
At Andros Asia we are looking for the leaders and managers of tomorrow. We are building business and teams are very young but it’s not an issue because we chose good profiles, especially with an experience of studies overseas. It usually makes the difference.
That’s why we decided to send some students we have selected into the Bachelor and Master Program of ESDES, in partnership with the University of Economics and Law in HCMC.
The program provide necessary skills and knowledge for sure but the global context and multicultural environment are the keys! Because it brings to them the values and the mindset of leadership that we need in international companies like Andros in Vietnam. We are looking for people who can transform the company and able to bring value, creating new jobs and fulfill new scopes of work.
Studying in france during 1 to 3 years is also the opportunity for us to build a real program for the student: we call it the Young Talent Program: the company pay a part of the tuition fees and build a program of internship at headquarter in France .
And we are very satisfied because it makes very talented profiles, flexible and open towards the world, fast execution with ability to integrate teams in Vietnam immediately after studies with a real mission and tasks.

Raphaël APPERT
To fully play our role in all the transitions that we will have to accompany and simply to allow these transitions to happen in a positive and inclusive way, we are perfectly aware of the importance of the human being. We are convinced that well-informed and well-trained employees will be our best assets for success.
This is why Crédit Agricole Centre-Est, a long-time partner of UCLy, welcomes with great interest and fully supports the Esdes approach to this new high-level training.
Lucas Patricot
Cofounder of Faume (alumni 2012)
I co-created Faume in 2020, allowing big fashion brands that we all love to propose a “second-hand” service. Faume takes care of all the operational complexity of the refurbishing supply chain in order to give brands the possibility to communicate on their offer. In one year, more than 20 brands have joined us. By 2022, the company will accelerate its international development. For us, the circular economy is a pillar of green growth.
Maëlys Piébourg
MASTER’S STUDENT SPECIALIZING IN MANAGEMENT, HUMANITIES AND INNOVATION
I chose this specialization so that I could continue studying philosophy while opening doors to the business world, with the aim of learning to apply philosophical theories and concepts to management.
All the subjects in management and business offer high-quality, demanding classes, taught by excellent teachers, reviewed and developed in depth, and combined with the main philosophical theories.
After my work-study placement at MacAnders, a large Parisian headhunting firm, I would like to work in managerial positions: managing people and being able to draw on my philosophy and psychology classes, as well as my management classes this year, so that I can apply the “management of tomorrow” that we have envisioned!

Pascal Nadobny, President
The principles of circular economy, ecological and energetic transition are part of our company’s DNA, true pillars of our CSR policy, at the heart of our strategy. Also, our entrepreneurial project of responsible growth and our field of actions seems to be in perfect adequacy with the MSc program proposed by ESDES.
All companies are concerned by these sustainability challenges that have been imposed, sometimes with strong standards and regulatory requirements. In fact, they will all inevitably be led to seek expert talents on these topics, probably leading to high employability of profiles from this training.
