After a year on the Paris campus, Oghenemarho is getting ready to discover the Lille campus thanks to the KIMP-APS Master's program. "My year in Paris was intense, the pace of the classes was fast and different from what I was used to during my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in Nigeria.
