« Centrale Paris is one of the most reputed engineering school in France"

I’m from India. I finished my engineering studies in one of the best engineering school in India, called IIT Kanpur. After that I have been working for 4 years at Consumer Goods Industry, a big Indian company. I have been responsible for project management and I have also been involved in supply chain and logistic projects.

I chose this Advanced Master to continue my education because I was interested in purchasing. I was working in a field that involved knowledge of technical areas and commercial areas. So I became interested in the commercial area of business, especially buying and contracting.

This master is a good training because Centrale Paris is one of the most reputed engineering schools in France and it gives purchasing and commercial skills to people with technical background. These skills make you an efficient purchaser who’ll be good in a technical environment.

I think that one of the biggest advantages of this program stands in its proximity with the industries. There was a need to have people with technical background in purchasing functions because purchasing in technical companies has become increasingly technical in nature. And often people from business school will not have the knowledge to understand the real technical specifications of purchasing. Some French companies are sponsoring this MS, they are closely associated, and it is an opportunity for us to find internships and jobs.

This MS gives you the real flavor of industry and its real focus is to train you as a technical engineer with engineer background in purchasing skills.
