Raphaël Chiappero

The first year programme opened my mind in many ways. I met students from all over the world and it was very interesting to work together on projects and exchange our ideas in different business contexts. The campus in Sophia Antipolis is clearly unique, as it offers opportunities for personal development for everyone. During the first year programme, I was able to actively pursue my passions for rugby and the hotel industry in different student societies. The association and society network is very strong here at SKEMA and one can easily join a group of interest, in order to gain expertise and meet likeminded colleagues. The high quality of student life on the French Riviera was also another huge bonus for this experience. But most of all it's the human factor and the international atmosphere that made this an enriching time in my life!
