My experience at EURECOM is a major plus in my education

After finishing high school, I entered Ecole des Mines de Douai. I was interested in moving somewhere else in France for my final year, and the opportunity of an exchange with a Télécom school peaked my interest. So I found out about EURECOM, the only engineering school in France to offer a curriculum fully taught in English and with a strong international scope where over 70% of the students are foreign. Being able to study in the leading science park in Europe and organize my curriculum with the classes I was most interested in was also a major advantage for me. I presented my project to my pedagogical director, and from then, everything went quickly. I’m now enjoying my last year with a supervising team which is extremely attentive to student needs. There is no doubt that my experience at EURECOM will be a major plus in my education and future career. I’ve already had new opportunities following my end-of-year internship at ARM.

I had a very memorable stay at EURECOM. The first thing I noticed at EURECOM was such a colourful multicultural environment. All the courses were very well designed and practically oriented.

At the completion of my internship, I was hired by Hitachi. I believe, EURECOM’s industry oriented curriculum helped me a lot to mould my profile in accordance with the current job market requirements.

Today, I firmly believe EURECOM played a major role in my achievements and continues to give its students an edge in today’s competitive job scenario. I thank EURECOM for the foundation and confidence it provided.

I chose EURECOM because of the weight it would add to my CV: EURECOM is supported by many companies, so you can be sure that the knowledge you gather is actually relevant for your future career. Also, because of a mandatory stage (Internship), you will already learn to put that knowledge in practice, which is for me the most efficient way of learning. Together with that, there is a very family feeling, many social activities. The level of education is high here, and you don’t need to be fluent in French before coming here. For me, the staff have always been extremely helpful, and in all is has been a great experience. Currently I am responsible for the overall Technical Management and Sales / Solutions Engineering of the French, Belgium, Luxembourg & North Africa region (Presales and Solutions Architect). Next to presales activities I am also involved with the security portfolio development of my company, an area where my EURECOM knowledge has been very useful.

Studying in France was not what I had imagined. EURECOM’s specialised post master degree, its excellent reputation in technical research, and its famous international industrial partners make it a unique academic institution. The international environment mixing European and French culture is the best opportunity to broaden ones’ visions. Students come from many different countries, and our professors are international with a strong industry background. This warm and unique learning environment cannot be found in ordinary universities. Furthermore additional business-oriented courses provide the holistic knowledge that students need to be ready for industries. Apart from that, the student office team is always willing to support students especially for accommodations, extra-curricular activities, and any other issues they may have when they arrive. Speaking little or no French is not a problem at all. To me, being the university ambassador of the Orange Campus Partnership program proves that. And the French Riviera is the dream destination to explore lots of lovely cities filled with Sun, Sand, and Sea.
