| FROM LBS MiM Admissions Blog: Why I chose London Business School |
 Zach Harkins (MiM 2022) shares why he chose London Business School over schools in the US and gives us a key account of his highlights on the MiM programme throughout the year. It is difficult to imagine a life without LBS, but as I began applying to several Masters programmes towards the end of my time at the University of Texas, I had never heard of London Business School or a Masters in Management degree. So what led me to London Business School? A born and raised Texan who had never stepped foot in Europe, to attend a school in a city so far removed from the place I called home. To put it simply, LBS offered me an opportunity to take a giant leap outside of my comfort zone and into something so wildly different from where I had spent my entire life. It provided me with not only an incredible learning experience inside of the classroom, but also a fully immersive educational journey that gave me a truly global perspective, that no school in the United States could replicate. Highlights of my year While the list could take up an entire page, some of the most memorable moments from my time at LBS include:
This past year has presented a variety of experiences that have transformed me both personally and professionally in ways I could never have anticipated. These experiences challenged my viewpoints, introduced me to new ideas, and improved my ability to communicate, cooperate, and problem-solve with people from around the world. Looking beyond LBS As I prepare to close this chapter of my journey, I can say with full certainty that my time at LBS has had a huge impact on rewriting my story. The real-world business exposure and outstanding faculty support I have received, have equipped me with the critical skills necessary to position myself as a leader early in my career. Through conferences, guest lectures, and global treks organized by the 75+ student-led clubs on campus, I have discovered my passion for emerging technologies and start-up investing. This will undoubtedly influence the path my career will take. Above all else, I have a deep appreciation for the amazing family of incredibly diverse peers that have become lifelong friends. Studying at LBS has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience that introduced me to a world of opportunities that I do not believe I would have found anywhere else. It has helped me grow intellectually, develop personally, and understand the amazing things that happen when taking the road less travelled. It wasn’t always easy, but after all, nothing that is truly worth it ever is. For more information about the Masters in Management programme please visit our website here.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: An American student in Europe and his cross-cultural learning experience |
|
In Fall 2021, Robert Griffin, an International Business Graduate, certified sommelier and trained chef, packed up and moved from Chicago to Turin to attend the [url=https://www.escp.eu/programmes/specialised-masters-MScs/MSc-in-international-food-and-beverage-management]ESCP Master in International Food and Beverage Management[/url]. Combining his passions for food, wine, and business, he embarked on an exciting journey that included stays in Italy, France, and Germany. After nine months of his European adventure, Robert has shared his thoughts on why it was one of the best decisions he ever made. Why did you decide to study F&B Management in Europe, and how did you come to choose ESCP? I was looking for a European university to help combine my backgrounds of culinary arts and international business. [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP[/url]’s MSc in International Food and Beverage Management topped the lists, because it was exactly what I was looking for content-wise, and gives me access to Italy and France – along with the rest of Europe! What are the benefits of choosing a cross-cultural learning experience? You get access to a wide range of views and backgrounds. It’s been interesting to see how different people with different ways of thinking tackle the same problems. Plus, the wide variety of perspectives can lead to very interesting and creative results. For one of our major projects, we were a group of 5, coming from Italy, The Netherlands, Malaysia, and the United States. We ended up interviewing someone from Malaysia to create a business in the US with an Italian company as its inspiration. We could never have used such a wide range of ideas if we hadn’t had people from so many different backgrounds involved. Studying abroad gives you the chance to meet many new people. Has ESCP raised your cultural awareness? In what way? Yes! I’ve learned how to cook proper carbonara from a Roman and a poireaux vinaigrette from a person from Dunkirk. I’ve been lucky enough to experience the coffee culture of Italy and the boulangeries of France. There is a massive difference between living the culture and just studying or reading about it. What surprised you the most in Italy? The green markets everywhere. On practically every corner there was some type of small grocer selling fresh produce, flowers, cured meats and lots of other things. Moreover, they were there every day (except Sunday!) and the offerings changed with the seasons. For anyone who is used to this, this sounds like a silly observation, but this is very different from what I am used to in the States. What surprised you the most in France? The size of my apartment! Jokes aside, I’ve been surprised at how pretty Paris is. Every street has something new and exciting to look at: some historic building, a beautiful church or a gorgeous museum. I didn’t expect to like the city as much as I have but there are always interesting things to see. Additionally, the food has been wonderful which certainly doesn’t hurt! What are the best memories from the past year? If you had to highlight one activity that will most likely leave a lasting impression on you, what would it be? The various trips we took! Going to the [url=https://www.escp-foodbeverage-blog.eu/langhe-day-ettore-germano/]Langhe Day[/url], the [url=https://www.escp-foodbeverage-blog.eu/beauty-history-and-wine-ifbm-in-tuscany/]Tuscany trip[/url], the [url=https://www.escp-foodbeverage-blog.eu/alma-experience-from-kitchen-and-office-to-restaurant/]ALMA[/url] trip, and the Champagne trips specifically were amazing. If I had to choose one though it would probably have been Langhe day. We started early and ended up visiting 4 different wineries from in and around Barolo (the city), a cheese producer, and a truffle hunter all in one day. It was also the first “field trip” as a class and so was the chance for us to get to know each other better and hangout all together outside of a classroom. [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Langhe-3.jpg?resize=540%2C243&ssl=1[/img] [url=https://www.escp-foodbeverage-blog.eu/langhe-day-ettore-germano/]Langhe Day[/url] After spending almost one year on another continent, living in two different European countries and studying with classmates from so many different backgrounds, do you feel like a global citizen? How did this experience transform you? Coming to Europe to live and study has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve learned an incredible amount about people from all over the world, but at the end of the day, people are still just people. We have different backgrounds, ways of thinking, strengths, and personalities but we all have the same fundamental needs. At the same time, paradoxically, I’ve also never felt more American or prouder of my American background. All of the differences and time away has helped me appreciate what I have in the States, and I won’t take that for granted any more. [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/image00005.jpeg?resize=480%2C319&ssl=1[/img] Robert & friends After your graduation, would you like to work in Europe? If so, why? Yes, I think so although I’m open to many different options as well. I’ve enjoyed my time here in Europe and one of my goals is to become fluent in a second language so staying here in Europe would work towards both. Additionally, having experience abroad is always a plus for finding a job in the States if I choose to go back in the long term. What is next for you? I’m going on to Berlin for a few more months. After that I’d like to stick around Europe for the start of my career before most likely eventually heading back to the States. In terms of specifics, I don’t have anything concrete at the moment. I know I’d like to start my own business at some point, and I really enjoy the restaurant business so maybe I’ll end up in that space – though I’m open to anything! Robert’s time living and studying in Italy and France shows how [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP Business School[/url] offers a unique opportunity to broaden your horizons. Masters students challenge themselves by going outside of their comfort zone to experience an international environment and gain intercultural management skills first-hand – the best way to learn.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Why You Should have an Internship Strategy |
|
For most students, the primary goal of attending business school is singular: get a good, suitable and fulfilling job after graduation. There are a few important things to check off the list as you make your way towards graduation, but arguably none is more critical than getting the relevant experience that employers are looking for when hiring for full-time roles. As a business student, you gain that precious experience through short-term work placements such as internships or traineeships. Because recruiters highly value work experience that either establishes your familiarity with a group of tasks or demonstrates that you can excel in a professional environment, an internship can set the course for your career trajectory, and therefore should be considered carefully and strategically. No internship (and career) strategy will be “one-size-fits-all” – it must be highly personalised to suit your passions, values, skill sets, personality, previous training and education. Visualising your internship and career path The first step in creating an internship strategy is to think about the motivations and values that you want to be part of your career. Questions like the following can help you find answers: What attracts me? What do I find interesting? What are my strengths and talents? What do I want to deal with in my professional life? What are my values and how do they fit with my overall career goals? Where do I want to live? What kind of lifestyle do I want? At ESCP, our Career Services teams across all our campuses offer various professional development workshops and seminars that help students to reflect upon their career plans, goals, and strategies. We also offer 1:1 coaching to discuss these questions. The second step would be to consider how internships will function in your personal career journey. What exactly does that mean? There are two main ways to view internships as it relates to your overall career strategy. #1 You know exactly what you want to do and are strengthening your CV to get there Some students are quite sure about what they want to do in the future and already have definite plans. For them, internships are a clear stepstone on the way to their first full-time job. It will be the most relevant experience on their CV from the employer’s perspective, and so it will help them land the job that they are applying to. #2 Internships will allow you to explore your various interests and potential career paths Internships can also be a great opportunity to try things out. If you’d like to see if a job, function or industry is right for you, an internship is a good way to evaluate it before committing to that area. However, you should think about your choices wisely – internships are usually completed within your study programme, so by default you have a limited number of chances (there is a possibility of a higher number of internships when you do a gap year in a master programme). Your time as a student will help you narrow down your choices to give yourself the best career start possible. During the internship search and beyond Once you have actively started an internship search, it’s useful to also reflect on the potential internship in mind. What particularly attracts me to this position? What do I want to learn? How will this internship help me get the next internship or full-time job that I want? Not only will these questions be asked in an interview, but they will help you think through for yourself whether the internship will align with your motivations and goals. During your internship, you will finally be collecting those relevant and transferable skills for a full-time position. No matter how confident you are about your career path, you will find out what you like or dislike, what you are good and not so good at, where your talents lie, what truly suits your personality, etc. You will see whether certain areas of work meet your expectations, and even when they don’t, the experience will help you find your way to something more suitable for you. An internship is a formative experience in a formative time of your life. It’s okay to not have every career step figured out, because your studies serve as the best time to discover new things, meet new people, seek expertise and advice from those who have gone before you. Even those who are completely set on their career path might be surprised to learn something new about themselves or an industry that pushes them to contemplate new options. Career goals and strategies will likely change at the beginning of your professional journey (and throughout your life), but asking questions, reflecting, and making plans will give you the best chance at a solid, successful career.

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted at [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP Business School[/url] and your next semester will take place in Paris. You can already picture yourself wandering in the Latin Quarter, having a picnic next to the Eiffel Tower or getting your portrait made in the quaint streets of Montmartre. The Paris region also has a lot to offer, and is worth looking into: Unesco World Heritage sites, medieval villages, and breathtaking castles, to name only a few. Today we are taking you on a tour of our top 10 favorite places nearby Paris, all of which are doable as a day trip! #1 Versailles [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Unesco_logo.png?resize=115%2C80&ssl=1[/img] Naturally, the Versailles Castle made the top of the list. A breathtaking palace built for the Sun King Louis XIV, it contains more than 2,300 rooms, the most famous one being the Hall of Mirrors. Don’t forget to spend time in the wonderful gardens and admire the delicate fountains. One word of warning, though: you won’t be the only one to appreciate its beauty. If you want to avoid the biggest part of the crowds, we advise you to go early in the morning.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Keeping It Local – Places to Know Around ESCP London Campus |
|
According to the QS Ranking, London has held the Best Student City title for over three years, thanks to its outstanding cultural, economic and educational opportunities. So it makes sense that you might be seriously considering London as a destination on your [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP[/url] journey. With the bright city lights of central London just a short tube ride away, the ESCP campus is in West Hampstead in the north west of the city. It is a fashionable area offering a broad cultural experience away from the hustle and bustle of inner-city life. Combined with the extensive study and social activities schedule that ESCP provides, this makes it the perfect base from which to explore what London has to offer. We asked our students for recommendations on some of the must-visit places within a 30-minute walking distance of the campus. We’ve compiled some of their best suggestions for getting the most out of after-lecture catch-ups with colleagues and solo wanderings in the afternoons or weekends. If the ESCP London campus is on your radar, our recommendations should help persuade you how much fun it is to study and live here. Places to Eat First we eat, then we do everything else, right? West End Lane is a 10-minute walk from the campus, bustling with an abundance of restaurant and café choices that will suit all tastes. From Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, traditional British pub food, and burger places to bakeries and coffee shops – the choice is yours. According to our students, these are the top five places you should definitely check out: [list][*]Alice House[/*][*]Buns[/*][*]Took Took[/*][*]Colaba Indian Dining[/*][*]David’s Deli[/*][/list] Here’s what some of them said: Kadambari, an [url=https://escp.eu/programmes/specialised-masters-MScs/MSc-in-marketing-and-creativity]MSc in Marketing & Creativity[/url] (MMK) student, talked about the great pubs close to campus, particularly Alice House. “It’s a quaint pub with friendly staff on West End Lane,” she said. “You can also tickle your funny bone every Wednesday at comedy night!” Her classmate Keerti agrees: “Alice House offers really YUM vegan-bar snacks that are great for a post-class catch up.” Sarah, who is taking the [url=https://escp.eu/programmes/specialised-masters-MScs/MSc-in-digital-transformation-management-and-leadership]MSc in Digital Transformation Management & Leadership[/url] (MDT) course, said that there are too many good places to pick only one, and her personal recommendations are based on what mood she is in. She recommended Buns for burgers and wings, and Alice House, The Black Lion or Wolfpack for pub food. For pastries and light café food, she suggested Roni’s, Gail’s Bakery or Lola’s Bakery, the latter being the best for cakes. Agreeing with other students from MMK, MDT and the [url=https://escp.eu/programmes/master-in-management]Master in Management[/url] (MiM), she identified Colaba Indian Dining as a great and inexpensive food option. [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3wD9tu1TjcpqjSAL-RF7of6I6c2BC0vdNezkSmImmSMAZd0g9hd54WnoNLMGE1rMEj9XYE97DCT0VsyHMDYFdpzPdB4bl2EX8qx3WABOoRJNfOl8GXUdVWRTkdQc7b-EGfeCz8-0DNyJbBxnuw[/img] Photo: MSc in Digital Transformation Management & Leadership Class of 2021 @ Buns West Hampstead Lastly, if you’re in a hurry between classes and want to grab some food quickly, Theophile, an [url=https://escp.eu/programmes/specialised-masters-MScs/MSc-in-energy-management]MSc in Energy Management[/url] (MEM) student, suggested heading to David’s Deli. “David’s Deli is a Lebanese restaurant five minutes from the campus – the guy is super nice and the food is very good,” he said. Places to Go Out After a long week you might want to go out for some entertainment or social drinks with your classmates, and once again West Hampstead does not disappoint! Back on West End Lane, there are many pubs and bars with live music, comedy and game nights, and multiple cocktail places with happy hours. ESCP postgrad students rank the top five places for going out as: [list][*]The Railway [/*][*]Wolfpack[/*][*]The Black Lion[/*][*]Buns[/*][*]Bobby Fitzpatrick[/*][/list] “The Railway is an absolute VIBE on a Friday night – great music with the classics,” said Sarah. According to Joseph, an MMK student, pubs are dotted all around the campus so there’s a lot to choose from. Some of his particular favourites are The Black Lion and Wolfpack. However, he warns students to make sure they have their cards with them as not all places in London accept cash. If you’re up for a cocktail and bar scene, Bobby Fitzpatrick or Buns are the places to be. With happy hours and DJ nights, these are great places to chill after a long day or week of studies. Places for sport If, like many of our students, you need an outlet for your sporty endeavours, you’ll be pleased to hear that our London Student Experience team has been working tirelessly to secure many exciting deals around the campus – see the most recent list on our [url=https://www.escpsocieties.com/sports]Student Societies website[/url]. The two gyms that students noted are: [list][*]The Gym Group West Hampstead[/*][*]Studio Society[/*][/list] The first is a short two-minute walk from campus, and is part of the popular low-cost chain found all over the UK, which is open 24/7. The second is an alternative gym that focuses on classes using immersive technology targeting your senses of sight, sound and smell. “Studio Society is about five minutes from campus. There is a lot of variety in their classes, including Pilates, Body Pump, Skinning, etc. They have immersive studios where they have floor-to-ceiling visuals and surround sound,” said Alejandra, an MMK student. For those who are avid runners, the beautiful Hampstead Heath is just around the corner with multiple running routes and even swimming ponds. [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/London_Running-path-hampstead-heath.jpeg?resize=446%2C595&ssl=1[/img] Photo: West Heath Running Path, Hampstead Heath Park Places to see & explore London has thousands of exciting places to explore – art and culture, parks, architecture – You name it. West Hampstead is no exception. ESCP students choices include: [list][*]Hampstead area[/*][*]Primrose Hill[/*][*]Hampstead Heath, particularly Kenwood House and The Hill Garden and Pergola[/*][*]Camden Art Centre [/*][*]Camden Market (although it is a little further to go)[/*][/list] [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/2Q9JZHxAvfCQ7_5c4p0slVeMgKhOe40mW5sF1MVD81ZbXwnnTKrzDc4dRacbQyjXlVQ7qMKe-upQEi0f0WmtNu6cl_5OCalUYtgIyRKvNmb3JqqDv8eQniI4u1_aE8t4UkqxO5SLme0MyNwyzg[/img] Photo: View of the London City skyline from Primrose Hill Here’s what our students had to say about these places: “Camden Art Centre is a great community centre on Finchley Road for some sight-seeing,” said Kadambari, MMK Class of 2023. Her classmate Keerti agreed: “This is a lovely spot to get a coffee and catch up on a few interesting cultural events. It is free to enter.” For Alejandra, the best place to explore is Hampstead Heath: “I live in Hampstead, by the station. It’s seven minutes away from Hampstead Heath, which is really nice to walk around. If you continue walking it’s about 30 minutes to a museum called Kenwood House, which was built in the 17th century.” The park is around 800 acres and has multiple little areas to explore. Keerti suggested alternative routes to see different sides of it: “The Heath is a large, large park and the entrance you take decides your overall experience. The way in from Golders Hill is beautiful and has lovely picnic spots with beautiful flowers. There’s also a lovely pond to take a walk around.” And if you walk for five more minutes you can stumble into one of Hampstead Heath’s hidden treasures – The Hill Garden & Pergola, a truly beloved place for photographers which knocks you off your feet with beautiful gardens, architecture and views of the woodlands. [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/x2vNOafHS9tKjN5R_hr0FbAghlkBLEB_-aLB0cYdmBXRip5KMUeS_DIbgx0YEjNn9Ii3RC3t9M7ChCYV2Cu8VeP1p8QwckLP6lPcPChlJ_XEp_HOjri-FEDKwkwrp8P9rj0Kb3Ul2tQS_z-LFg[/img] Photo: Pergola & Hills Gardens, West Heath extension of Hampstead Heath Park, London And if you have no particular destination in mind, Joseph recommends just walking the streets of Hampstead to see what you can find. “The Hampstead area is filled with hidden gems and lovely, colourful streets. Some of the mansions on Heath Lane are breathtaking.” — These are just a few places that we thought we had to share with you. There are so many more to explore around beautiful West Hampstead and London in general. In the words of Richard Branson: “When exploring London, you will come across lots of excitement by chance, so try to take everything in rather than just rushing around to all of the major tourist haunts.” We couldn’t have said it better! We hope that when life finally takes you to London, you get the chance to embrace it in all its beauty – in West Hampstead and beyond. |

Know that you won’t have to travel far from Turin to find truly enchanting places. Turin’s enviable location allows you to reach mountains, lakes, castles, forests and hillsides full of vineyards as well as beautiful beaches. For day trips full of relaxation and fun, check out some of our favourite destinations from the [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP[/url] Turin Campus. [b]Sacra di San Michele[/b] [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Sacra-di-San-Michele.png?resize=535%2C356&ssl=1[/img] Sacra di San Michele The Sacra di San Michele in Val di Susa is a majestic abbey built on top of Mount Pirchiriano. Suspended between earth and sky, surrounded by forests and high mountains, scenery that has enchanted visitors and pilgrims for more than a thousand years, so much so that its charm even inspired Umberto Eco in his bestseller ‘The Name of the Rose’, a novel set in a gloomy and imposing abbey. Linked to the Sacra di San Michele is the mystery of the so-called magic line of San Michele. In fact, it seems that an energy line unites three basilicas/abbeys dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The three points on this line are: Mont Saint Michel, the Sacra di San Michele and Monte Sant’Angelo in Apulia. It is possible to reach the Sacra di San Michele on foot using four different treks paths. Distance from Turin: 40 km [b]Langhe[/b] [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/langhe.png?resize=535%2C357&ssl=1[/img] Langhe A Unesco World Heritage Site, the Langhe is an evocative area that is well worth visiting, and not only for its renowned and prized wines. Hills, vineyards, woods and valleys alternate with castles and historical villages surrounded by breath-taking views. Alba, capital of the Langhe, is definitely a place to start discovering this area. A delightful town with a lively centre, Alba is famous for its Truffle Fair and Ferrero Chocolate factory: in fact, Alba is the hometown of Nutella! The village of Barolo is the heart of the Langhe, world-famous for its wine of the same name. Among the things to see in the Langhe are the ‘Big Benches’, Chris Bangle’s colourful giant benches installed in various locations. Distance from Turin: about 70 km [b]Alps[/b] Turin is surrounded by the Alps and the mountains are the main protagonists in both winter and summer. Near Turin there are many enchanting and easily accessible mountain destinations. In fact, Turin is connected to the Via Lattea, the Italian and French ski area, home to many famous winter resorts. [list][*][b]Bardonecchia[/b] is one of the most famous ski resorts on the peninsula. It can easily be reached in one and a half hours by direct train from Turin. Bardonecchia is located in the centre of a basin where four valleys converge, offering a breath-taking panorama and over 100 km of slopes.[/*][/list] Distance from Turin: 92 km [list][*][b]Pragelato[/b], due to its location at the bottom of the valley, is perfect for cross-country skiing or if you like walking – with or without snowshoes. A beautiful route is the Val Troncea along the Ghisone stream.[/*][/list] Distance from Turin: 90 km [list][*][b]Sestrière [/b]is the highest municipality in Italy, at 2035 metres above sea level.

Liguria is famous for its seaside villages, its small churches and monasteries overlooking the sea, its nature trails among olive groves and Mediterranean woodlands, its picturesque terraces and enchanting sunsets. Here, then, is our top 3 of the most beautiful beaches that you can reach in a couple of hours by train or car from Turin: [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Varigotti.png?resize=532%2C355&ssl=1[/img] Varigotti [list][*][b]La Baia dei Saraceni & Punta Crena at Varigotti:[/b] not far from the town of Finale Ligure is this beautiful beach set in the mountains, surrounded by rocky cliffs; a crystal clear sea and fine white sand.

The lakes of Piedmont are in fact, in the summer period, an excellent alternative for those who have already finished their holidays and cannot travel too far. Here are some that are ideal for spending a relaxing weekend away from the stress and sultry heat of the city:[b][/b] [list][*][b]Laghi di Avigliana[/b]: The Avigliana Lakes Natural Park is a wonderful place dominated by the Sacra di San Michele. The Avigliana Lakes – Lago Grande and Lago Piccolo – not only offer a great variety of fauna, but also a splendid panorama of magnificent colours that change at different times of the day. Lago Grande is perfect for a swim.[/*][/list] Distance from Turin: 30 km [list][*][b]Lago Sirio[/b] is part of the Five Lakes of the Serra di Ivrea, all of glacial origin. The lake is surrounded by a road that makes it ideal for walking: in 40 minutes you can go all the way around. In addition to the various hiking and sports activities that can be practised, at Lake Sirio you can also find a free beach where you can find shelter from the hot days of the summer months.[/*][/list] Distance from Turin: 58 km [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/lago-d_Orta.png?resize=535%2C357&ssl=1[/img] Lago d’Orta [b]Lago d’Orta[/b] offers evocative landscapes and a unique territory, where culture and gastronomy, nature and history coexist.

Along its shores can be found small villages, lakeside promenades, noble villas and ancient hermitages. Lago Maggiore and its Borromean Islands are not to be missed.[/*][/list] Distance from Turin: 160 km [b]Castles and Fortresses[/b] Piedmont is a region rich in castles, fortresses and ancient historical residences that are well worth discovering. Among the must-see fairytale mansions, ideal for a pleasant out-of-town excursion in the pursuit of culture and beauty, we would like to highlight the following: [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Reggia-di-Venaria.png?resize=536%2C357&ssl=1[/img] Reggia di Venaria [list][*][b]Reggia di Venaria: [/b]one of the most majestic Savoy residences, is located just outside Turin in the village of Venaria Reale.

[b]But Milan is much more than that![/b] There are many places of historical and cultural interest, starting with the most emblematic tourist attraction, the Gothic-style Duomo di Milano. Other places not to be missed are the Castello Sforzesco, the Palazzo Reale, La Scala, the famous Milan Opera House, and Santa Maria delle Grazie church known for housing one of the most beautiful masterpieces ever created: Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of The Last Supper.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Top 5 Madrid Restaurants for MSc in Hospitality & Tourism Management Students |
|
From the traditional family Sunday lunch, tapas with friends, after work beers or a shopping spree in one of Madrid’s top markets picking up the freshest local produce, Spanish culture revolves heavily around food. Gastronomy in Spain is immensely rich and varied, full of colours and flavours, just like the country itself. From Michelin-star restaurants to your favourite corner bar, you will never be disappointed. Food is an experience, a form of living, a lifestyle. And in Madrid, you are able to try out typical dishes from all regions of the country. If that sounds like the kind of lifestyle you can get behind, read on to discover the best places to eat in Madrid according to our MSc in Hospitality & Tourism students! # 1 Makkila Tapas, Mediterranean dishes & wine in a chic dining space  Makkila This is a great tapas and raciones restaurant with different locations in Madrid. It is budget-friendly and offers a great environment with amazing cocktails, good music and friendly people. The Fernando VI in downtown Madrid is a classic and probably one of their most visited locations with an art-deco design and huge windows overlooking the Hortaleza district and Fernando VI street which is full of great shops. Definitely the first choice but otherwise, whichever Makkila comes your way will also do nicely. Last but not least, they also have a very tasty Menu of the Day with a very reasonable price tag. # 2 La Pescaderia Cool place with a great vibe and good food  La Pescaderia A fantastic restaurant with excellent food! You will find a very good selection on the menu, a nice wine list, a great atmosphere and traditional Spanish dishes. The original Pescadería is located in Calle Ballesta (downtown), but a new location has just opened in Calle Hermosilla, Barrio de Salamanca, which mixes traditional and trendy food. This one offers a good terrace and a great selection from the countryside, the sea and the land that will undoubtedly entice you to stay for a long after-dinner cocktail party in a fascinatingly decorated restaurant. Tips: Even if all their tapas are amazing, you should especially try the Chipirones. # 3 El Tigre Great for students on a budget  El Tigre This restaurant is probably one of the most popular places in Madrid and also the right spot for a good size portion of free tapas that comes when you order a drink! It may be not not the tastiest nor the trendiest in Madrid, but it is surely an experience to enjoy during your stay. You will find Croquettes, Tapas of Ham, Cheese, Pork, Pork Loin, Bacon and Chorizo. Also Patatas Bravas, Tortilla and Paella as well as chicken wings and mushrooms. All this is free when you order a beer for around €2.50 or half-liter jug for around €5.50. They have 3 locations in Chueca: 2 in Calle Infantas and 1 in Calle Hortaleza. #4 Mercado San Miguel Where to go with friends and family if you can’t decide what to eat  Mercado San Miguel The Mercado is the perfect place to go. Located in the heart of Madrid, the Mercado San Miguel is a monument to Spanish cuisine and definitely one of the meeting points for food lovers. With more than 20 stands touting a wide variety of Spanish food and drinks, it is definitely a place to visit while living in Madrid. Do you fancy paella? The Mercado‘s Paella y Olé is a must. Would you perhaps prefer a fabulous tortilla? Then Picolisto is the place to go. #5 Cafeteria de Paco & Victor AKA The Madrid campus cafeteria/canteen  ESCP Madrid Campus Well, yes yes, you are going to say we want to give a shout out to the ESCP Madrid Campus? I fact, we do, but to be utterly honest, this is THE place where you feel most at home. Paco and Victor become instant friends and are icons of the Madrid campus. And, that is not all: you have homemade food every day, good coffee and pastries, nice pulguitas and one of the best pinchos de tortilla in town. The best part? You can go there whenever you have a break from class! Madrid is one of the most vibrant cities in Europe and food is just one of the reasons to choose this city as your study location. But remember, where there is a good tapa or a great Tortilla de Patatas, you will also find the charm and warmth of the Madrilians and international locals that consider Madrid to be their adoptive home. Hope to see you soon! |

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Why You Should have an Internship Strategy |
|
For most students, the primary goal of attending business school is singular: get a good, suitable and fulfilling job after graduation. There are a few important things to check off the list as you make your way towards graduation, but arguably none is more critical than getting the relevant experience that employers are looking for when hiring for full-time roles. As a business student, you gain that precious experience through short-term work placements such as internships or traineeships. Because recruiters highly value work experience that either establishes your familiarity with a group of tasks or demonstrates that you can excel in a professional environment, an internship can set the course for your career trajectory, and therefore should be considered carefully and strategically. No internship (and career) strategy will be “one-size-fits-all” – it must be highly personalised to suit your passions, values, skill sets, personality, previous training and education. Visualising your internship and career path The first step in creating an internship strategy is to think about the motivations and values that you want to be part of your career. Questions like the following can help you find answers: What attracts me? What do I find interesting? What are my strengths and talents? What do I want to deal with in my professional life? What are my values and how do they fit with my overall career goals? Where do I want to live? What kind of lifestyle do I want? At ESCP, our Career Services teams across all our campuses offer various professional development workshops and seminars that help students to reflect upon their career plans, goals, and strategies. We also offer 1:1 coaching to discuss these questions. The second step would be to consider how internships will function in your personal career journey. What exactly does that mean? There are two main ways to view internships as it relates to your overall career strategy. #1 You know exactly what you want to do and are strengthening your CV to get there Some students are quite sure about what they want to do in the future and already have definite plans. For them, internships are a clear stepstone on the way to their first full-time job. It will be the most relevant experience on their CV from the employer’s perspective, and so it will help them land the job that they are applying to. #2 Internships will allow you to explore your various interests and potential career paths Internships can also be a great opportunity to try things out. If you’d like to see if a job, function or industry is right for you, an internship is a good way to evaluate it before committing to that area. However, you should think about your choices wisely – internships are usually completed within your study programme, so by default you have a limited number of chances (there is a possibility of a higher number of internships when you do a gap year in a master programme). Your time as a student will help you narrow down your choices to give yourself the best career start possible. During the internship search and beyond Once you have actively started an internship search, it’s useful to also reflect on the potential internship in mind. What particularly attracts me to this position? What do I want to learn? How will this internship help me get the next internship or full-time job that I want? Not only will these questions be asked in an interview, but they will help you think through for yourself whether the internship will align with your motivations and goals. During your internship, you will finally be collecting those relevant and transferable skills for a full-time position. No matter how confident you are about your career path, you will find out what you like or dislike, what you are good and not so good at, where your talents lie, what truly suits your personality, etc. You will see whether certain areas of work meet your expectations, and even when they don’t, the experience will help you find your way to something more suitable for you. An internship is a formative experience in a formative time of your life. It’s okay to not have every career step figured out, because your studies serve as the best time to discover new things, meet new people, seek expertise and advice from those who have gone before you. Even those who are completely set on their career path might be surprised to learn something new about themselves or an industry that pushes them to contemplate new options. Career goals and strategies will likely change at the beginning of your professional journey (and throughout your life), but asking questions, reflecting, and making plans will give you the best chance at a solid, successful career.

| FROM LBS MiF Admissions Blog: From South Africa to England: Meet Tondani Netshiavha MiF full-time 2023 student |
After orientation we caught up with Tondani Netshiavha to find out how the beginning of his Masters in Finance journey at London Business School was going.  It’s been almost three weeks since I arrived in London and started the MiF programme at London Business School. From the first day I met my cohort, the energy was surreal, and I could firmly say I made the right choice for my career. I’ve met people from all different walks of life, learned some Spanish, been enjoying the classroom environment and learning so much about the multiple cultures around me. What I have enjoyed the most thus far is my cohort. The friends I have met and started lifelong bonds with and how open everyone here is about their culture. People genuinely coming out of their shells to become who they truly want to be, has been remarkable for me to witness. I love London and LBS. I was honoured to be asked to give a speech at our Orientation day and I thought I would share a snippet of my speech with you all. My name is Tondani Netshiavha from South Africa, a proud rugby nation! Many British people know us too well for the heartbreak we caused in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. I had to come all the way to England just to teach you all some rugby skills. I was born and raised in the South Western Townships of South Africa, commonly known as Soweto. Soweto came to the world’s attention on the 16th of June 1976, when mass protests erupted against the government policy to enforce education in Afrikaans rather than in our native languages. The world stood with us by imposing economic and cultural sanctions, an act that people like myself will forever be grateful for as those sanctions applied pressure on the government. Me being here today is proof of the results of those sanctions, as I was able to learn in my preferred language. Given today’s global climate in Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan, America, Israel and Palestine, we can all draw lessons from the patriarchism shown to the South African people in 1976. If we all stand together and unite against unhumanitarian acts, we can all achieve more and the world can bring hope to people like myself who will have a positive impact on the world one day. I am excited to learn from each and every one of you, diversity is a beautiful thing, it teaches us to understand the world and how to make the world a better place. I encourage each and every one of you to break away from what feels comfortable and really engage and learn from people who come from different places around the world. After all a ship in the harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for! It is only human for people to gravitate towards what is familiar, but that’s not what London Business School was built for, so I dare you to be more. Onwards and Upwards!

| FROM LBS MiM Admissions Blog: How to use LinkedIn to your advantage |
|
LinkedIn is a popular social media platform for professionals. It’s a great tool to show off your skills, share content and build a community around industry experts. Although it is business and employment-oriented, it can be an equally good tool for candidates applying to our programmes. The Recruitment team will take a look at your LinkedIn profile if you submit it for a review instead of your CV. Here are some tips on how to use your LinkedIn profile to your advantage. [b] Complete your bio [/b] To make your profile stand out, add a professional profile picture. You can also add a cover image to your profile; make sure it’s relevant to your experience. It’s a good idea to add a catchy headline and a summary showcasing your skills and achievements. Once you’ve uploaded the pictures and updated your headline, focus on sharing relevant details about your experience on your profile summary. You’ll need to put your higher education details in and mention your graduation date and grade. Mention any relevant work experience, any volunteering activities, student clubs, positions of responsibility and any other additional skills. Think of your LinkedIn profile as an updated version of a CV. Only include your professional information and don’t leave any gaps in your experience. [b]Use LinkedIn as a networking tool[/b] LinkedIn is a social media platform and is therefore a great tool for networking. Feel free to research the profiles of LBS students and alumni to see how your profile compares and connect with them.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Tips to Blend in When You Arrive in London |
|
Moving to a new city can be a stressful event, and it is only natural that it will take some time to fully get the hang of what it is like to be a local. London, with its vibrant and diverse cultural scene, is no exception to having rules of its own. Here are my six tips and tricks that will help you blend in with the city and avoid some understandable social mistakes. [b]A bizarre way to say hello[/b] You will notice that your British acquaintances will often pass you asking “You OK?” or “You alright?” [b]Stay calm[/b] – there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, it is just their way of saying “hello”! You’re not expected to respond with details of how your day is coming along so far, even if it is tempting to do so [img]https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f609.png[/img] [b]Tube etiquette[/b] Always have your ticket/contactless card/Oyster card ready before you reach the entry barriers with the tapping machines. By doing this you will avoid frantically looking for it and stopping the natural flow of commuters during busy hours. [b]Londoners hate to wait while in transit![/b] The city’s most sacrosanct code is: don’t stand on the left side of the escalators! The right side is reserved for standing and the left for those who want to overtake by walking. Follow this simple rule and you will save yourself from passive-aggressive stares from your fellow commuters. Unlike in the rom-coms you might have seen growing up, sadly there is a not much room for serendipity on the tube. Londoners are very polite, however they love to keep to themselves, and [b]travel on the tube is everyone’s “me” time[/b]. So don’t be surprised if your attempt at a smile or conversation with a stranger comes across as awkward at best, or is looked down upon at worst! [b]Don’t ignore a queue if you see one[/b] Whether it’s a pub, a grocery store, or a line to enter a club, Londoners like and respect the queue! Make sure you patiently wait your turn and if you respect people’s personal space no one will be able to tell you are not from here. [b]Three seasons in one[/b] The most memed fact about London is the weather! Unfortunately, what you’ve heard is largely true – it is highly unpredictable most times of the year, so consider it a safe bet to[b] pack both your sunglasses and umbrella[/b] when you leave the house in the morning. If you don’t own an umbrella, do invest in a small, lightweight model to keep with you. You will find it most useful as, while the rain never stays long in London, it can creep up on you very unexpectedly! In fact, my advice is to make it a habit to put your weather app on notifications/alert mode so you are warned in advance of any weather surprises during the day. [b]Sunny days are fun days[/b] Make the most out of the sunny days – there is nothing better than making your way to a local park for a picnic with friends. [b]The parks in London are by far some of the best in Europe [/b]and can serve as beautiful settings for a fun, affordable and inspiring activity on the weekends. Some of the top ones for me are Hampstead Heath, Hyde Park and Greenwich Park.

London has very precise postcode recognition; however once you arrive you will need to be sure you have the right house. Postcodes are assigned to streets that will have many houses and flats. I hope these six insights will help you to avoid some awkward social interactions in your first weeks and make the most of your whole time in London, picking up a few – peculiar to the foreign eye but charming in their own way – London customs and unspoken rules.
