Eternally moving around the country, ESPOL made me settle in 2015 in the capital of Flandres. The familiarity of its premises, its attentive educational team and its diversified, demanding and interactive courses made me stay for the 3 years of the bachelor’s degree and 2 years of the master’s degree. ESPOL made me go to Austria for a semester, to the UN in Geneva for a study trip, to Brussels in the European institutions. With the student associations of the school we visited NATO in Brussels with ESPOL Défense, played pétanque with Le Cochonnet Espolien, dubbed films with le Petit Lillois, beat Polytechnique in the French debate cup with Révolte-toi ESPOL.

This school and me, it is definitely an academic story, but also friendly, family and now professional. It is thanks to ESPOL, which obliges us to do 8 weeks of internship during the bachelor’s degree, that I was able to integrate the company in which I now work.

I measure the quality of my student years by the position I currently hold as an account manager at Crisis24 and the tools the school gave me. Geopolitical knowledge, coupled with critical thinking and curiosity, make students and future professionals efficient and committed to their work. The amount of work we have to do, especially in the Master’s programme, forces us to integrate a lot of information, to process and analyse it.

These are essential skills in any job and in the long term. To plagiarise Léa Sedoux, ESPOL has been a school of life for me for the past 5 years
