‘UNamur has provided me with some incredible opportunities and I am really grateful. From the historical corridors of one of the most prestigious universities in Milan to the students chanting ‘go green, go white’ in the excitement-filled stadium at Michigan State University, every experience abroad has brought me a new vision of the world and an international network of friends. I have taken part in several junior enterprise projects (JEN Consult), which offer consultancy services to the region’s SMEs. The ‘business immersion’ programme has also given me the opportunity to put my skills to the test in a real-world work environment and to gain considerable professional experience ready for my first job search. The University of Namur, its teaching quality, its great atmosphere and the opportunities it offers are all little extras which make a huge difference.’ - Marine, student |
