A truly international location, Luxembourg draws interest and visitors from around the globe. Home to some of the world’s and Europe’s most important institutions – including the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank – Luxembourg has established itself as an international hub for business. The opportunities available to young people here are exceptional, with big companies ready to jump at the opportunity to hire the next generation of business leaders and experts.

Aside from business opportunities, the small size and central location of Luxembourg gives students the chance to explore and discover neighbouring countries like France, Belgium and Germany. Quick and efficient travel networks make for easy weekend trips to nearby cities, while there are also accessible links to places further afield such as the Netherlands and Switzerland.

“What I like most about Luxembourg is the diversity,” notes Gabriel Ristow Cidral, an MBA with Internship graduate. “It’s really a melting pot, you find people from everywhere, all parts of the world.”

Gabriel began as a trainee with PwC in Luxembourg as part of his MBA internship program, quickly receiving an offer to become a full-time employee as a market analyst in the research team before even graduating.

He describes how studying at Sacred Heart helped secure his professional role: “SHU is doing a great job approaching companies, very interesting and fast-growing ones, for instance PwC, Amazon and Vodafone for MBA students to do an internship. I believe that my MBA really supported me in taking this first step. Secondly, most of the courses I took were in finance and I can really see how I applied this to knowledge in real life, and in practice.”

A hands-on learning experience is encouraged at Sacred Heart, which endeavours to educate students on the global marketplace. Intercultural exchange and state-of-the-art technologies enable students based in either Europe or the US to learn and interact in the current industry market, as well as from and with each other throughout the program.

The option to add courses in the US on Sacred Heart’s main campus in Fairfield, Connecticut, US, (located about one hour away from New York City) is a possibility as well. Graduate certificates in Accounting, Corporate Finance, Financial Management, Global Investments, International Business, Leadership and Marketing are available for professional post-baccalaureate study.
