Hello, سلام, 你好, مرحبا and Bonjour!
My name is Anum Atiq. I am a Pakistani girl, born and raised in Saudi Arabia and I am currently studying Luxury Brand Management at ESSEC.
I finished my Bachelors degree in International Business and discovered that I had an innate love for Business over the span of the 8 years I spent in China. Having lived in such a technologically advanced country and the hub for a growing Luxury Market, made me develop a keen interest in Luxury early on. That led me to eventually starting and running my own retail business after graduation. I also worked as an English and Business Teacher for the duration of my course (and post graduation) allowing me to meet a diverse group of people from all over the world as well as ensuring my fluency in different languages such as English, Urdu and Mandarin.
I chose the Luxury Track at ESSEC as it is consistently ranked as the best university for the Luxury MBA program. It offers a challenging and immersive course, complete with International business trips to ensure the best possible networking opportunities for people looking to go into any major luxury market anywhere in the world - especially beneficial for career switchers.
Moreover, ESSEC's location allows for one of the most singularly matchless experiences. Located in Paris - the cultural hub for art, history, architecture, fine dining and fashion, ESSEC is the embodiment of what history and luxury stand for. ESSEC also provides individualized training resulting in many opportunities and internships specific to your sector of interest. The student body is also quite diverse, ensuring an overall well rounded experience and helping you hone your managerial skills. ESSECs commitment to diversity and sustainability is evidenced in the way the course is structured and in their initiatives taken to welcome everyone.
Thank you for your interest in ESSEC - I'd be happy to answer your questions on any and every question you may have regarding the course!
