All the modules of Purchasing and Supply Chain are very important to prepare us in the field, and we practice a lot with business games… I really like the negociation exercises as a buyer and/or a seller. The mix between courses and practical exercises is really helpful to prepare the future. At the moment I don’t know in wich company I will candidate but I plan to get an internship especially in the retail sector as a product owner or buyer.”
