European Career Track - Your chance to get to know European businesses

 

An MBA from HHL opens your path to the Italian and French economy: The European Career Track (ECT) maintains notable opportunities to gain important insights into European management and is your source for a pan-European profession.

 

Talented and ambitious students seeking management positions can take advantage of the career services of other European Business Schools, thereby ensuring the service and integration with other MBA students.

 

Students have the chance to use their fifth term to participate in the European Career Track and do an internship in Italy or France and/or selected courses at either MIP or Audencia. Similar opportunities are open for MBA students from Audencia or MIP.
