TESTIMONIES

Hi Siddak, can you please introduce yourself to us?

My name is Siddak I’m coming from India. I arrived in France in September 2015: I did my first two years in India as a student in Delhi University and for the third year I decided to come in France at IDRAC for a study abroad program as someone recommended this option to me in India.

The specialty is Marketing and Business Development. There is a lot of international students in my class: from the US, China, South Korea, Malaysia.

Why did you choose France for your studies?

I always wanted to go abroad for my studies and my uncle who advises students in India for study abroad programs and destinations, recommended France to me. A lot of students go to the US or UK or Australia because these are English speaking countries. I never heard about France as an option for Indian students! I thought that in France, I can learn French as well as a foreign language to help me in the future: this would give me an advantage over other Indian students. Additionally this represented a big challenge for me: I’m coming over for one year only and I’m trying my best to learn French in such a short time.

Can you tell us more about the program itself?

I’m currently studying a program fully taught in English. This program offers a lot of subjects related to Marketing, Business and lot of other courses as well: International law, negotiation, accounting, finance, etc… It’s nice for me because this helps me getting an expertise in each filed relate to business and Marketing.

What do you prefer at IDRAC?

I really like the fact that you can find all the courses right after your class on E-Campus. This is what I enjoy the most: you can access all the courses anytime you want! And you also have access to your timetables, this helps me to organize my weekends and holidays.

What advice would you give to an international student?

I would tell them to work on their French right away! The rest can come later! The culture and the people are nice, you can always make friends with international students, but the main thing I would recommend them is to get the basics to work their way easier in France.

Hello Lyonnais, can you please introduce yourself?

My name is Lyonnais Claude Didier, I’m studying a Master II “Management and Supply Chain Function,” I already completed a BAC + 4 in Project Management and a Bachelor degree in Business Administration.

Is it difficult for an international student to adapt to his new class?

Yes it is more difficult: African students used to be much surrounded, I find myself here a little more isolated. What brought me here is the quality of the education, so I focused on my studies primarily.

What do you like the most in your program at Idrac?

There is a big change with studies in Africa: while I have always studied in Business schools; the contrast is obvious between the business schools here and there.

In Senegal, there is no monitoring forstudents. It’s very complicated to look for an internship or even for future professional life. I particularly appreciate to benefit from a tutor who is always there to help me. My tutor is here to push me and give me the tools to help me in my internship research.
