Meet the Engineering School Leading the Way in Energy Management Projects and Economic Decisions

Submitted by stephanie@qs.com on Thu, 05/30/2019 - 09:06

Sponsored by École des Ponts ParisTech

Energy resources are a vital element in societies and economies all over the world as they support domains such as public health, education, industrial production and agriculture.

Population and economic growth, as well as the growing interconnections between countries mean the world’s energy systems are becoming larger and more complex. Pressures on planetary resources and environmental issues, including climate change and threats to biodiversity, question the way we produce and consume energy globally.

Innovation is the key to ensuring energy resources are available, accessible, affordable and acceptable in the 21st century, which means highly qualified workers with the skills to design, evaluate and manage energy projects are in demand more than ever.

We spoke with the specialists at École des Ponts ParisTech to find out more.

Finding the solution

Institutions such as École des Ponts ParisTech are developing new training programs to ensure the next generation of managers and decision makers are up to the challenge.

“Today’s energy markets are going through major changes almost all over the world, which offers many opportunities for our students at École des Ponts ParisTech,” said Louis-François Durret, Director of the Post-Master’s program in Management of Energy Projects.

Given the importance of the energy sector worldwide and its highly technical nature, Durret believes a well-rounded approach to managing such complex and multi-faceted projects is imperative: “Energy projects are more complex to manage than projects in other businesses, so it’s key we as project managers have a holistic approach to such projects and keep checking the coherence of project components.”

When asked how the École des Ponts ParisTech Post-Master program prepares its students to develop and manage energy projects, Durret said: “The first important step of a project is the design of a sound and robust business model.

“In order to achieve this, in short, one must fully understand the energy market evolutions, societal aspects of the project since the public acceptance is a prerequisite for a smooth project evaluation, the pro and cons of the technologies that can be used, as well as their lifecycle characteristics.”

“The project will then go through all the steps of the financial evaluation, and once approved, be finally implemented. A project team will then be set up, the project governance decided upon, and the supply chain will be developed.”

‘Project management is in our DNA’

“École des Ponts ParisTech alumni have left remarkable footprints in France and worldwide. They keep reshaping our planet, building hydro-dams and nuclear plants, highways, high speed trains and other infrastructures, as well as designing electricity tarification systems,” said Durret.

Managing complex energy projects means dealing with a number of big challenges – one being the evolution of technologies, market demands and consumer needs within the project lifetime, so the skills and knowledge students learn at École des Ponts ParisTech is crucial to ensuring success.

“We train our students to see clearly through all the phases of the project life, from design to execution, and to also understand how the various aspects of the project are connected and impact each other, such as technology, supply chain, business model or financing plan. A dimension that is becoming more and more important today is to think and plan the end of life of energy projects.”

Project evaluation, viability and decision making tools

As we’ve already mentioned, all projects go through rigorous processes to ensure their viability and practicality – this is particularly important in a field where technological and business model innovation constantly reshuffle in the energy transition.

This is also where close connections with logistics and other critical business functions, such as cost-benefit analyses and economic decision tools come into play.

Carine Staropoli, Director of the Master of Science in Economic Decision And Cost Benefit Analysis (EDCBA) told us: “In addition to managing and financing, the MSc EDCBA also focuses on project evaluation which is complementary to the Advanced Master in Management for Energy Projects.”  

The MSc EDCBA offers a set of courses that are dedicated to the energy sector which are essential for anyone who’s interested in working on energy management systems and projects. It also covers aspects which can help to better understand and evaluate investment decisions in this field, including how projects are integrated into the broader economic and social context.

Staropoli said: “The MSc in EDCBA trains students to have an in-depth knowledge of the tools and methodologies necessary to evaluate investment projects and public policy applied within various sectors.”

Students study a range of applications of cost-benefit analysis methodologies as part of the program, including energy and sustainable development, digital transformation and smart cities.

What to Expect When You Study an MSc in Luxury Management and Marketing

Submitted by stephanie@qs.com on Wed, 05/29/2019 - 14:38

Sponsored by emlyon business school

Dubbed the “industry of excellence”, it’s easy to see why luxury brand management is an attractive field for graduates who like the finer things. This is an incredibly resilient industry too, with market growth hitting close to $1.2 trillion last year despite recent economic downturns.

If you want to be one of the graduates living a life of luxury, studying a degree in luxury management and marketing can be the gateway to a highly lucrative career and other exciting opportunities. We spoke to emlyon business school to find out more about their innovative master’s program in Luxury Management and Marketing and what students can get from it.

You’ll master the basics

The luxury brand management industry oozes exclusivity, with a focus on top-level, traditional customer service which makes the industry unique and personal. Yet, the current relationship between businesses and the customer is almost unrecognizable compared to what it was only 10 years ago, as brands are now having to embrace integrated digitalized marketing strategies in a bid to keep up with the rapidly evolving luxury market landscape.

Despite the glitz and glam of the industry, you’re still going to have to get to grips with the ins and outs of how a business operates, as well as learning about operations management and how to project industry forecasts and trends.

Luxury management and marketing is a challenging business culture with extremely high standards, so having a good blend of theoretical and experential learning should help strengthen your overall understanding of the international industry. 

Speaking of which… you’ll go international and gain a multi-city learning experience

Fittingly for an industry that dominates all four corners of the globe, you’ll begin your luxury management and marketing journey in Paris before embarking on a full semester abroad in either London or New York (depending on whether you want to specialize in the Fashion and Lifestyle Industry or the Luxury Design Industry – more on that later!).

You’ll then spend your third and final semester in Shanghai, Asia’s most high-profile city for high-end luxury goods, and home to emlyon business school’s Asian campus.

This international dimension allows students to identify links between luxury markets on a global scale and assist them in navigating their way around international business markets.

Fashion and Lifestyle Industry or Luxury Design Industry?

If your passion is fashion, then the Fashion Management track is a passport to study at the London College of Fashion in London and even experience London Fashion Week.

Or, if you have a keen eye for design, the Luxury Industry and Entrepreneurship Design Management track means you’ll learn from the professionals at Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York City, covering topics such as ‘Sustainable Business Models’.

London and New York are two of the most creative and innovative cities in the world, so you’re sure to deepen your knowledge and fuel your enthusiasm for the industry with a semester in one of these inspiring cities.

You’ll graduate with the skills and knowledge to achieve your career ambitions with a global brand that oozes luxury

Whether you want to follow in the footsteps of previous emlyon business school graduates and aspire to be a Fragrances Product Manager at Christian Dior, or a Business and Product Development Specialist at Infiniti, with all the right competencies and business know-how under your belt, you’ll be well prepared for a career in the industry.

在大学期间提高你的职业前景的8种方法

Submitted by stephanie@qs.com on Fri, 05/24/2019 - 11:12

本文由伦敦城市大学赞助

 

每年的这个时候,毕业班的学生都会结束他们的大学之旅,为下一个人生里程碑做准备--确保他们的第一份毕业生工作。但是,在我们进入申请部分之前,让我们倒退一下。

如果你想找到你梦寐以求的工作,你必须做大量的基础工作才能达到目的--拥有一个学位只是开始。

继续阅读,看看你可以做些什么来提高你的职业前景,并帮助你从竞争激烈的毕业生人群中脱颖而出。

 

利用大学的就业服务,发挥你的优势

让我们从显而易见的事情开始。未雨绸缪总是好的,去你的大学的就业服务处就是一个办法。他们是一个热闹的中心,充满了机会和资源,使你为工作世界做更好的准备。

无论是简单地帮助你整理简历,还是获得有关行业安置面试的建议,你大学的就业服务部门都致力于为你提供专业、高质量的支持和指导。

"[在就业服务处]顾问们花了很多时间与我交流,指出了我需要改进的地方以及我做得好的地方。这确实有助于我在当天的表现,因为反馈是真实和诚实的,"伦敦大学城市学院管理学学士Karthikeyan Mahalingam说。

 

如果你有能力,可以申请实习年

行业实习是获得相关经验的理想机会,也是发现某条职业道路是否适合你的一个好方法。此外,如果你的雇主真的认为你已经成功了,你甚至可能在毕业后有一份全职工作等着你。

虽然不是每个学位课程都提供行业实习,但也有其他方式可以获得一些行业经验。

小型实习计划,或微型实习计划,如城市大学提供的计划,意味着你只需要在暑假期间致力于三到五周的工作。学生们在伦敦的雇主那里进行实习,并通过参加令人兴奋的项目获得真实的生活经验,这也有助于培养他们关键的就业技能和发展他们的专业网络。

城市法学学士学位学生索菲亚-德梅特里奥-琼斯说。"我喜欢我的微型实习,因为它与我以前做过的任何事情都不同。我马上就被赋予了责任,我在[实习]中度过的五个星期绝对提高了我在压力下工作的能力,能够独立思考,更容易克服障碍。"

 

考虑担任志愿工作

尽管在你当之无愧的暑假期间与朋友们放松一下,或者在Netflix上追看你最喜欢的节目是很诱人的,但志愿服务是一种万无一失的方式,不仅可以证明你对某一事业的承诺,还可以证明你出色的时间管理能力。

无论是否与你毕业后想从事的职业道路相关,在你的简历上有志愿服务的经验,对未来的雇主来说是一个很大的勾。

 

参加指导计划

辅导计划,如城市大学的辅导计划,是了解工作生活的来龙去脉的一个很好的方式,可以从那些真正经历过、做过的人那里了解。通过该计划,学生可以与工作中的专业人士结成对子,他们可以帮助他们为就业市场做准备,并提供对该行业的深入了解。

 

人脉、人脉、人脉

不要忘记,你的同学也是你的班级同事。你们每周(如果不是每天)都在一起工作,当毕业后各奔东西时,你们最好能保持联系。

你的教授和讲师也是一个很好的人脉来源,所以一定要利用他们的知识和联系。他们也是很好的推荐人--无论如何,谁比他们更了解你呢?

 

参加招聘活动或职业研讨会

招聘会提供了一个与潜在雇主面对面的绝佳机会。记住,第一印象很重要,所以要穿得漂亮,并准备好你想问的问题。

你是否想与某家公司交谈?或者你是采取 "橱窗购物 "的方式,简单地选择任何吸引你目光的公司?有一个明确的目标可以帮助使博览会不那么令人生畏,并确保你保持专注,不被与会的公司数量所干扰。

城市大学的行业洞察计划为学生提供了与一系列行业和部门的外部雇主见面的机会。这种与雇主的联系可以成为建立有用联系的理想机会,并在更深层次上了解你感兴趣的行业。

 

参与你大学的社团和俱乐部的活动

无论你的兴趣是什么--无论你是一个足球迷,对戏剧有热情,还是喜欢写作--参与校园里的社团或俱乐部可以使你在很多方面受益,而你可能意识不到。

而且,如果你在社团中发挥了更积极的作用,坐在委员会中,这是一个额外的奖励,在申请工作时,这绝对可以成为你的优势。

此外,如果你在做你喜欢的事情,你甚至不会感觉到有什么努力。

 

最后......确保你有一份突出的简历

很多时候,当你申请工作时,招聘人员或雇主首先看到的是你的简历。现在,他们并不期望你的简历上有10年的专业经验、20个志愿服务角色和6种语言,但他们期望的是你能够说明你采取了哪些措施来突出你的资历和经验,并表明你是一个有吸引力的雇员。一份结构良好、顺序清晰的简历,将相关经验推到最前面,将有助于做到这一点。

 

伦敦城市大学成立于1894年,是一所全球性的大学,致力于卓越的学术研究,重点是商业和专业。

城市大学广泛的本科和研究生学位组合是由对就业市场有深入了解的杰出学者开发的,并得到了雇主和行业领先人物的投入。许多课程都是为满足特定的行业标准而设计的,其中相当多的课程得到了专业机构的认可。

城市大学位于伦敦市中心,在这里学习意味着受益于其与领先的金融、法律、媒体和医疗保健机构的接近和联系,同时也是充分利用实习或工作安排机会的完美定位。
