“I chose the SKEMA x ITEEM – Centrale Lille Bachelor’s in Management and Engineering Sciences because I wanted a programme that would strengthen both my technical abilities and my understanding of business. I have always believed that the future belongs to people who can move confidently between these two worlds, and since September, this programme has only reinforced that belief.

What I appreciate most is the balance between the scientific courses at ITEEM and the management-oriented approach at SKEMA. The teaching methods are dynamic, collaborative, and highly project-based, which encourages us to think critically and take initiative. The lecturers are approachable and genuinely invested in our progress, whether we’re working on engineering fundamentals or developing managerial skills.

The campus environment is also a major strength: it is supportive, diverse, and motivating. Working with students from different backgrounds has helped me grow both academically and personally.

Looking ahead to next semester, I’m excited to deepen this dual skill set and continue developing the mindset of an engineer-manager — someone capable of understanding technical challenges while also thinking strategically about solutions and impact."
