Attracted by foreign languages
Maureen is currently in hersecond year of the ” International Business” program.
” I have always been attracted to foreign languages even though I followed a classical course in high school. With a Bac S, I was able to have access to many post-bac courses. But I wanted to stop studying science and INSEEC offered me this program which allows me to take courses in English, 30% in the first year and 70% in thesecond andthird years. Next year, I plan to go on a university exchange and why not a double degree in Denmark or Ireland! “
If her life seems to be all set between foreign languages and international travels (Ireland, England, Italy, Netherlands, Canada…), it is not knowing Maureen well!
