The courses in the Master 2 European and International Taxation are taught by both renowned academics and professionals who are experts in their field. As a graduate of the class of 2020-2021, it is this duality that attracted me. On the one hand, the theoretical courses enabled us to acquire a solid foundation in domestic, European and international taxation. On the other hand, the more practical courses allowed us to take a first step towards our future profession while obtaining valuable advice from competent tax specialists and lawyers. After six months of classes at the University, some of us went on to do an internship (law firms, tax departments of international companies, big4, tax authorities, etc.) while others wrote a thesis. Everyone has chosen their own path, in accordance with their desires. Good luck to the students who submit their various applications, believe in yourself and never give up on the goal you are pursuing.

Having a shiplanner father, my childhood was bathed in the maritime world. After studying for the ITIP and the professional degree in Management and Maritime Transport Law at the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille Institute, in partnership with the University of Aix-Marseille, I went on an internship in England. On my return I worked in warehouses and logistics, then as a chemical operator in a plant in Lavéra. In October 2014, I joined Eurofos as a dispatcher. Every day is different and teaches me a little more about my job. I like the human exchanges with the sailors from different countries, the dockers with whom I work "hand in hand". In the end, all the departments fit into each other. For me, it is always great to see these giants of the seas, we can have a real impact on the economy of our country. Always bigger and bigger... I have been a shiplanner at Eurofos since 2017.

After a BTS in Transport and Logistics Services, I went on to study for a Professional Licence in "Management and Law of Maritime Transport" in partnership with the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille and the University of Aix-Marseille. Then I joined an International Trade & Logistics Master's degree with a second year of work experience in China for CMA-CGM. The group offered me in November 2018 to continue my career by integrating a V.I.E (Volontariat International en Entreprise). Being originally from Madagascar, I took this opportunity because the desire to leave and discover other cultures was part of my priorities. I took the position of Business Developer for the CCIS (CMA-CGM Inland Services). My main mission was to manage and develop the activities of the Logistics Platform. I proposed complete logistic solutions with an adaptation to the specific needs of our customers, all along their Supply Chain. I am now Operations Manager at AMT S.A. Advanced Maritime Transports in Douala, Cameroon. I see every day the implementation of these 5 years of study. Participate in seminars, conferences, symposiums or congresses. Taking the time to participate in this type of professional event is really worth it, in order to create "real links", synergies. It boosts your relational network because the shipping world is a very small world.

Former student? Already!? After graduating from the Master 2 in Public Business Law and Public Contracts at the Faculty of Law in Aix-en-Provence last July, I didn't expect my university career to be so "fast". Last year, in M2, I was able to do 7 months of internship in two different entities. Entering the world of work as an intern is not easy, but it was a real springboard for getting a job after my studies, increasing my skills and gaining autonomy. I even asked myself if I was in the right place, but I can answer today - September 15, working at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Officiers de Sapeurs-Pompiers (ENSOSP) as a public purchaser -: yes, I am in the right place. A good start to the transition to a fulfilled adult life.

As part of my Master's degree in Air Transport Law and Management at IFURTA, I did my end-of-studies internship at Châteauroux airport with the airport's security manager. These few months in an airport were a great opportunity to develop my knowledge of the air transport sector and to better understand its diversity, since Châteauroux airport is the seat of many aeronautical activities different from the classic commercial passenger transport: specialized freight, maintenance, dismantling, aircraft painting, training centre for aerodrome firemen, pilot training, manufacturer tests, ... This internship also confirmed and even strengthened my will to work in the airport sector. After IFURTA, I looked for a first position on an airport platform, before finally being recruited at the beginning of 2016 by the Union of French Airports (UAF) as a lawyer, a position I still hold today. UAF, which has since become UAF & FA (Union des Aéroports Français et Francophones Associés), is the professional organization of French airports, whatever their size and specialty. Its main mission is to defend and promote the interests of the French airport community with French and European decision-makers. In the context of my duties, I am required to advise and inform UAF members on all legal issues that may affect them: competition law, State aid, insurance, public property, concession law, personal data protection, etc. I am now very pleased to return to IFURTA as a lecturer in the "Airport Management" seminar to present the French airport network and the different management methods of the platforms to the students. I am also in charge of the course "Organisation and European and international air law" within the Professional Licence "Airport Logistics and Air Transport" of the IUT of Evry.

The Master's degree in Banking Law and Wealth Management is the ideal path to the wealth management profession! This sandwich course is a real asset for integration into the working world. Not only do the students leave with a 5-year degree, but they are also experienced. This Master's degree has the advantage of combining theory and practice, thanks to the periods spent in companies, and to the national certification of Wealth Advisor issued by the Ecole Supérieure de la Banque, a training organization recognized in the banking industry. In addition, the diversity of the lecturers allows for a better understanding of the different facets of wealth management. For several years now, the master's degree has been taking part in the Agefi Grand Prix for Young Graduates, alongside the major French universities and schools. This competition, which is both collective and individual, reveals the best Masters and the young talents of each year. For me, this will remain a great memory: a real team effort that highlights our training and skills. After spending a year in Luxembourg with Crédit Agricole Indosuez, I am currently a private banking advisor with LCL in Aix-en-Provence.

The Master's degree in Banking Law and Asset Management allows you to combine theory with practical application, thanks to the work-study programme. The knowledge acquired during the Master's course enabled me to be autonomous in the professional environment. As far as the teaching is concerned, the University offers a high quality course, with various interesting and very enriching modules. The work-study programme allows me to acquire professional skills that have enabled me to feel comfortable in my job (I did my work-study at BNP Paribas Banque Privée as an advisor in Private Banking for individuals). Moreover, being in the professional world allows you to take responsibility for your work, especially in the banking field. The combination of training and work experience (theory and practice) has enabled me to meet the expectations of clients and banks alike. I am currently a wealth management advisor at Société Générale in Versailles.

This last academic year has allowed me to combine theory and practice, as an apprentice lawyer within CoSMoS. Indeed, as the Master 2 in Sports Law is a sandwich course, the students have the possibility to apply all the notions studied during the school curriculum, but also those acquired during the courses given during this year. In addition to gaining new skills, the training allows, in addition to learning, to put into practice various legal concepts, through exercises carried out in class (writing a sponsorship contract for example). These different tasks allow students to work as a team while developing their legal reflexes. This enriching year ended with a professional bridge with the conclusion of a fixed-term contract in the legal department of CoSMoS. I would like to thank all the teaching staff who participated in this achievement.

The Master 2 in Sports Law is an ideal course for students wishing to work in the legal departments of professional sports clubs or sports federations! This training is provided by a high quality teaching team and the numerous speakers of the Master 2 provide students with a concrete overview of the world of sport. The possibility of doing the course as a sandwich course is a real asset which allows students to put into practice throughout the year, during their periods in companies, the theoretical knowledge provided by the course by integrating the reflexes provided by practice. At the end of their training, the graduates of the Master 2 benefit from a quality training and a diploma recognized on the job market reinforced by a one-year professional experience. My experience with the Girondins de Bordeaux club was an enriching and formative experience that taught me a lot about the profession of lawyer within a professional football club. Finally, at the end of my year of work experience, I had the opportunity to extend my experience within the club.
