French excellence as seen from the United States

A strategic choice driven by a long-term vision

Nicolas’s journey abroad began with a strong desire to improve his English. He therefore chose to go to the United States “for the prestige” and enrolled at the renowned Georgia Tech. Not only has this Institute of Technology been home to the top industrial engineering department in the United States for 25 years, but it also offers international students like Nicolas real opportunities to settle in the Americas. “My Master of Science makes Master of Science eligible for a visa extension that allows me to work in the United States for several years.” Above all, the school’s reputation facilitates its students’ entry into the workforce. “Companies recruit students directly during their academic year,” notes Nicolas.

Arts et Métiers  a safe bet internationally

“The professors in charge of this Master of Science very Master of Science Arts et Métiers, which gives us an advantage during the admissions process.” This advantage is justified byArts et Métiers reputation, both for the strength of its theoretical foundation and its mastery of technical fundamentals.

A different approach to studies

When Nicolas joined the Georgia Tech campus, he had to get used to a different way of structuring his education. "In the United States, students choose their courses and their timetable, and really create their own career path," he explains. He was particularly surprised by the lighter course load, which "placed greater emphasis on consolidating what had already been learned." This experience also made him realize how high the academic standards Arts et Métiers at Arts et Métiers , where courses are much more in-depth. "I came to understand what is meant by French excellence."
