The courses provide the best of both worlds -theoretical and practical knowledge- making it a very enjoyable experience. I had the opportunity to pursue my Degree off-campus, at MFP Michelin, at their Centre of Technology (R&D). I was offered a stimulating concept project working shoulder to shoulder with the experts from the industry. It was an extraordinary experience discovering a French enterprise and applying the knowledge gained during the coursework. Two days after the completion of the Degree, I was hired by Skoda Auto based in Czech Republic. I am thrilled as it is an ideal opportunity to start my carrer. I am grateful to Centrale Nantes for facilitating an excellent platform to learn and grow.
