Jean-Philipee Joncherais

I recently graduated with a degree from Concordia (a partner university) as well as graduating with a degree from SKEMA. I chose SKEMA for the international experience and the possibility of graduating with two degrees. I had a really great time in Montreal. The lifestyle and the people are really different. English courses at SKEMA and Concordia gave me the opportunity to perfect my English and the courses offered by Concordia allowed me to get involved in lots of research projects and to be more specialised in environmental topics. Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach, at the end of the four years you’re familiar with lots of environmental issues in an international context. I went back to France in order to do a four-month internship in local government, the SAN Ouest Provence, where I assessed the impacts of climate change and had to find solutions in order to mitigate the projected impacts of climate change. This internship was a great experience. I am now starting a master specialising in the management of water and the aquatic environment. My plan is then to go back in Montreal to work there and gain some experience in this field!" (Environmental Management specialisation)
