As a popular study-abroad destination, many international students love to live and study in France.
From the famous French cuisines to endless art galleries and museums, and from high-luxe fashion to cultural traditions and sports events, France is a place you should experience at least once in your life.
By studying in France, you’ll unravel a new culture, live in a thriving business hub and learn one of the most spoken languages in the world, with 280 million total speakers in 2019.
And if you choose to study specifically in Montpellier, you’ll benefit from an exceptional quality of life. The 7th largest city in France is ideally located 10 km from the sea, a few hours from serene ski resorts and just three hours by train from Paris and Barcelona.
Voted one of the best places to study abroad in the world by N26, “Montpellier is a hugely popular destination for studying abroad…Quality of life is cited as a standout reason; located in southern France, citizens enjoy a Mediterranean climate and close links to the seaside.
“You’ll be content if you’d prefer to stay within academic circles as students make a third of the city’s inhabitants,” N26 notes.
So, if you want to pair this international city experience with a top-tier business education, look no further than Montpellier Business School (MBS).
Founded in 1897 and built upon strong values, MBS offers French and international students the best of the nation’s higher education.
Reflecting the school’s core commitment to ethics, openness and diversity, the Business School was ranked number 1 worldwide in the criterion of ‘Diversity’ for the second year in a row.
“At Montpellier Business School, you will find people from different backgrounds, it has a lot of different diverse cultures. I have seen people from Mexico, Dominican Republic, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh…it’s a great collaboration of different mindsets. You get to know different cultures, that’s the best part,” says Vidya, an MBS Indian student in MSc Digital Management.
