Who is a Join a School in France jury member?
To become a Join a School in France jury member, the person has to match all the following criteria:
- Be graduated (all specialties included) for at least 2 years from one of the 5 Business Schools: HEC Paris, ESCP Business School, emlyon business school, Skema Business School and Audencia Business School, or be a Join a School in France’s partner
- Belong to our Business partners community
- Accept to provide their personal data to the Join a School in France team in order to be contacted during each round of recruitment
- Accept to conduct the international candidates’ interviews online or face-to-face regarding the common recruitment process for the Master’s in Management program at HEC Paris, ESCP Business School, emlyon business school, Skema Business School and Audencia Business School on a voluntary basis
Interview process
With one application, candidates automatically apply to 5 Business Schools (HEC Paris, ESCP BS, emlyon bs, Skema BS, Audencia BS). If the candidate is eligible for at least one School, they will be invited to an interview. These interviews take place in French institutions around the world, most of the time at the Institut Français, Campus France or CCI. We invite alumni from our 5 member Schools and French institutions’ representatives to be jury members.
The alumnus or the partner who is available and who wants to participate as a jury member is invited to meet several candidates in their city to evaluate them on their personality, motivation, career project, hobbies and their general culture. There are 4 admission rounds per year which imply 4 interview periods within the year. Jury members will receive the admission results of the candidates they meet.
To evaluate the candidate’s aptitude to successfully complete a Master in Management at a Grande Ecole, 3 criteria are evaluated:
● Communication skills in English (if the candidate speaks French, jury members can switch to French after testing their English level)
● General knowledge and awareness: current news knowledge, intellectual curiosity and international experience
● Personal qualities : hobbies, clear motivation and maturity
Why become a jury member?
Join a School in France is at the heart of a common and international recruitment process for the Master’s in Management at HEC Paris, ESCP Business School, emlyon business school, Skema Business School and Audencia Business School. Therefore, the international recruitment department of the Paris Ile-de-France Chamber of Commerce coordinates the actions between the 5 Business Schools, international candidates and the alumni network worldwide.
