Hi all,
My name is Nidhi and I'm from India. I'm a Software Engineer by profession and an entrepreneur right now. I have 2.5 yrs of experience right now. I have a speciality design studio for candles in Delhi, India. I'm planning to design more eco friendly products, expand my product line. I think it would be great for me to go for an MBA in Luxury Brand Mgmt as it would help me set up my brand later. I also checked out the course at ESSEC. The program looks very promising, but its a very expensive course. Please advice if the course is good for people with profile like mine. Could someone also tell me about some other good colleges in the same field?

Thanks,
Nidhi

Hey Everyone!!
All the replies that are being posted were of great help! Seems like Essec B School is on the top of everyone's list, many seem to be eyeing on it (including me!) :-) Firstly, can anyone please let me know whether they want any work exp in the luxury sector or anything else will do. Everyone seems to be switching from one field to the other. Will that make sense during the admn procedure & interviews? Secondly, i just finshed my final year in uni and wil graduate in july. Was thinking of working with a luxury brand before applying for next year, will that much of experience ensure that i get through? Coz apparently, it's not been mentioned in the school website that 3 yrs min exp is mandatory.. they've just mentioned "any past exp or internships(if any)" in the admn requirements section....anyway i would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this ...i reallly need to sort this out before i graduate!!!! :-)

I would consider HEC Paris. They have partnered with a business school in South Korea and are offering Executive Education programs in luxury management.

Thanx a ton Arijit and Ebtea!!!! :-) :-)

Hey everyone!!

I recently got to know about 2 more institutes for luxe management, these are the post grad/master's prog.i.e. IUM,International University of Monaco and Polimoda in Italy, IUM sounds pretty good. But, Im wondering whether it is as good as the one in France like Em Lyon. If anyone's got any idea about this, feel free to post your comments. Thanks.

Hi Bianca,
Thanks for letting us know about the HEC certificate courses, I only knew about the MSc and MBA programs till now. I've pretty much read everything about the program(luxury strategies) by now. Just one problem, I couldn't find the fees and financial aid section. Also, they haven't mentioned the time period of the prog, I was even thinking of downloading the brochure online, but there is no such facility provided. If you do have any idea about this, please feel free to post your comments.

The Luxury certificate is a 3 months specialisation offered to their MBA and MSc.
So you'll have to apply to either MSc or MBA and pay their respective fees. The fee for the HEC MBA is 45keur.
http://www.mba.hec.edu/Admissions/Financing

In the MBA curriculum, it is available only to the September intake and comes during the 1st personalisation phase of the MBA (http://www.mba.hec.edu/Academics/Curriculum-Design) where people can basically choose to take a certificate programme instead of electives.

In my class, once we had started our classes in the MBA, we could apply to various certificates (http://www.hec.edu/Certificates) which allow students to specialise in areas that are of interest.
As an MBA students, I didn't follow the Luxury certificate but could take some classes with the three faculty experts mentionned in the website and I thought they were awesome.

Hey Bianca!!
Thanks a ton for for your help. Since i just finished my graduation this year,so I feel the msc program will be perfect for me! I've already contacted the certificate coordinator about this. Let's see how it goes :-)

Cheers
Rhea

heyy Rhea and Bianca! i was going through your posts and am really interested in taking up the certificate course at HEC.
i also have been doing a lot of research lately and have gathered that Emlyon Bussiness school is also a great option for the same. its not a certificate course and is very specific to the subjects we would like to learn.
Also about the certificate course, will it be enough to land up a job at a good luxury brand since its just a 3 month course! No doubt the faculty is really impressive but is it worth it ?

Hi all.
Thank you very much for such an informative session. I am also currently in a decision phase.

Now I learn a little bit more about HEC and ESSEC...

Since Bianca's provided us with the information about luxury management program at HEC.... I was wondering if there's anyone who knows details about luxury management program at ESSEC.

I've checked out polimoda in Florence as well... and it looks like a great program! But they do not require a GMAT or any crazy requirement like the normal MBA programs so it's giving me a second thought. But they seem to have very good connections with all the european luxury companies.

Please help us if you know anymore detailed information about these schools.

Thank you!
