Hi all,
Lately I've been doing a lot of research on masters in Luxury Brand Management. I have a bachelor in international business and want to further specialise in this sector. I've looked at the following universities so far:
Bocconi
MIP Politecnico di Milano
University of Monaco
Those are the ones I'm focusing on right now.
My question: does anyone have any experience at these universities? Why would you pick one over the other?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
I am currently a student at ESSEC finishing my MBA in International Luxury Brand Management. I have had a wonderful experience at ESSEC, and cannot recommend the university, especially for the MBA Luxe.
For me, there really was no other MBA program I was interested in (and in fact, ESSEC was the only school I applied to). ESSEC was the first university to offer an MBA in Luxury Brand Management and the company partnerships/connections and alumni network is incomparable. More than this, being in France to focus on luxury is extremely helpful for this MBA. During the course of my research I also attended informational sessions and could see that the caliber of professors and graduates was above and beyond other MBA programs in the same vein.
In terms of career opportunities and placement after graduation, ESSEC has a phenomenal corporate and alumni network within the luxury space. Almost any luxury brand you could think of has some connection to the school, and throughout the year we are put in touch with many of these companies through seminars, conferences, cocktails, alumni conferences, etc.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions, I would be happy to respond.
Best,
Emily

Many students interested in breaking into the luxury sector gravitate to hubs like Paris or Milan, where many of the top firms are based; others go to New York City or London to be in the heart of the action.
