They testify
“I traveled a lot during my LV1 study stay. I have unforgettable moments in my mind, the people I had the chance to meet and especially the discovery of new cultures. You discover totally different visions and you come back enriched. If I have one piece of advice to give, it is go for it and travel!” Samy, 3rd year Digital Engineering student.
“International is very present at ESAIP, which is a real advantage to demonstrate my international mobility. It is a great strength to have experiences all over the world. An engineer must be open to the world. After my studies I want to work abroad, in China.” Anaïs, 5th year student Risk Prevention, Environment Engineer.
