Discover the testimonial of Anthony Achard, a student in the Master's in Digital Strategy at Digital Campus Montpellier.
What is your background?, After completing a scientific baccalaureate with a focus on engineering sciences (specialising in Physics and Chemistry) in Avignon, I completed a Computer Science degree at the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier. I finished that degree through a university exchange in Quebec last year, simultaneously earning a certificate in e-commerce. I have also been involved in humanitarian work for the past ten years, participating in two missions in Africa as well as organising numerous events, parties and concerts in France in partnership with establishments such as IMEs (specialised institutions for children with disabilities). I also participated in the student council. These two experiences make up my voluntary background to date.
In your opinion, why is Digital Campus Montpellier a unique school?, DC brings together students from all walks of life around a programme that focuses on real-world case studies from current events and the contemporary world. Experienced speakers from a wide variety of fields share their expertise and passion through their personal examples or through varied yet relevant topics. It is an exchange of knowledge between digital and new technology enthusiasts, all broadly open to the world. Here you find the drive to build businesses using modern and highly sophisticated e-commerce tools., What are your expectations from the Master's programme?, Knowledge, connections, and learning from the experience of the teachers. But also guidance, mutual support and, in short, backing for the final start-up project. A bit of challenge too — through exchanges and competitions with other DC campuses across France — that is always welcome and never fails to motivate everyone!
What are your long-term plans?, To develop the start-up project begun during the master's and see it through to completion, while continuing in the early years to work in various companies to gain experience across different fields, but also to learn how to work within different types of organisations, to adapt and become a true Swiss Army knife of e-business and entrepreneurship., A final word?, WE ARE DC. WE ARE CONNECTED. WE DO NOT GIVE UP. WE DO NOT BACK UP. EXPECT US.
