Another option is to enter a business school. Some schools admit BTS graduates into their third year, leading to a Bachelor's or Master's degree in management, international trade or marketing. These courses offer a global vision of the sector and prepare students for positions of responsibility. General Licences at university are another alternative. Although more theoretical, they provide access to specialized Master's degrees and civil service entrance examinations, as do the Bachelor's degrees awarded by business schools. Fields such as management, commerce, management and marketing are particularly well suited to graduates of a BTS MCO.

For those who prefer to enter the job market directly, the BTS MCO offers professional course leading to a wide range of careers. Positions such as department manager, sales consultant, account manager or sales manager are all possible outlets. The retail, distribution, banking, insurance and real estate sectors are particularly keen on profiles with an operational sales management background.

The experience acquired during internships or apprenticeships during the BTS MCO is a major asset for rapid integration. Skills in customer relations, team management and sales strategy are highly sought-after by employers. What's more, the versatility of the diploma means that after a few years' experience, you can move into positions of responsibility.
