“I chose the ITEEM Centrale Lille x SKEMA Bachelor’s because it brings together three things I was looking for in a post-graduate environment: engineering, management, and entrepreneurship. I didn’t want to restrict myself to a single field so early on, and this path allows me to explore both engineering and management — two areas that complement each other extremely well in the real world.

Since the beginning, integration has been excellent. It’s genuinely easy to make friends, the atmosphere is open, and everyone is quick to include you. The variety of backgrounds within the Bachelor makes classes truly enjoyable, as each person brings something different, which enriches the whole environment.

What I appreciate most in the courses is how approachable the professors are. Whether they come from ITEEM or SKEMA, they take the time to explain and make sure we understand the concepts. Since September, I’ve learnt a lot about management, teamwork, and how to think critically through problems in a structured and organised way. Moving between ITEEM’s more technical classes and SKEMA’s business-oriented ones feels natural, and you really begin to see how both perspectives fit together in real situations.

The working atmosphere is motivating and friendly. There are always projects, discussions, and student activities happening, which makes the campus lively and helps you grow inside and outside the classroom.”
