SPANISH STUDENT IN 2ND YEAR BACHELOR ENGINEER ASSISTANT IN WORK-STUDY PROGRAM 24-25
When I was already working in France, I was recommended to return to my studies at ESTBB. From the very beginning, the attention to helping me with my application and managing the procedures was pleasant and precise. After my first year of study, I have no regrets. The teachers demand and promote a high level of commitment and interest, but at the same time, they are attentive and ready to help students at any time. However, I admit that the change in the assessment style surprised me, and I had to adapt quickly. An added bonus: the facilities and the area around the university are charming and well-maintained. Lyon is a beautiful city.

2ND YEAR BIOTECHNOLOGY ENGINEER 2024-2025
I come from Lebanon, and my experience at ESTBB has been very rewarding, both academically and personally. Moving to a new country is never easy, but the warm welcome from the school and its openness to interculturality helped me adapt quickly. The biotechnology program gave me strong skills in bioproduction, with a great balance between theory and practice. I really enjoyed working on bioprocess optimization projects and doing internships that introduced me to the work environment.
The atmosphere at the school is very welcoming and motivating. I was lucky to be involved in student life through the Student Federation and to take part in inter-school events. Lyon is an amazing and lively city, and I loved living there.
What also stood out to me was the importance of interculturality at ESTBB. Coming from another country pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me how to adapt to a new environment. Meeting students from different backgrounds broadened my perspective and enriched my worldview.
