I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Environmental Science at SKEMA.. I chose SKEMA for the international experience. I wasn’t disappointed! My studies at SKEMA were highly rewarding. Nowadays, international communication in science is becoming so important that I believe the customised English training at SKEMA and the transfer I chose to an Australian partner university (University of Queensland) for two years were particularly relevant to my professional goals. I learnt team work and was able to carry out my own research project. I have been very satisfied by the involvement of academics as well as the academic opportunities and resources available throughout my course of study. Although contrasting, the learning environments on both French and Australian campuses have been very enjoyable and have allowed me to successfully acquire essential scientific research and communication skills. During my studies, I was also given part-time job opportunities related to my education (tutor and laboratory assistant jobs) which were highly valuable add-on professional skills. I’ve decided to stay in Australia to further progress the research on mine site rehabilitation that I have been conducting during my honours degree at the University of Queensland. I'm now applying to start a PhD there." ( Environmental Management specialisation)
