Université Catholique de Lyon

There are many different schools within the Catholic University of Lyon. I was at ESTRI, school for international careers. This specific school is a three years program to get a double degree in communication and translation/interpretation. After those three years you can even stick to the same school to pursue a master's degree in event planning or translation. 

The double degree provides teaching in english, spanish, german, italian and chinese (you choose 2 languages before entering) and offers classes for beginners who want to learn another language like japanese, mandarin, russian, arabic and more.

In first year you go abroad for 3 to 4 months to practice your english and in third year it is 4 to 6 months in any country you would like to go to, to do an internship or a semester in a foreign university.

The school is great for students who look up to an international career.

During my time as a student I have been able to develop the way I learn and interact with others to a degree that has also helped me to mature into a better person.  I have come to believe that this maturity will help me to develop into a better thinker as well, one that has the patience to listen and take consideration of what others have to say.  I consider the act of learning a two way avenue that has to be taken seriously.  It is one that involves the teacher, and the protégé.  It has been, and will continue to be, my absolute goal as a student to become a diligent protégé and acquire all of learning my teachers have set in front of me.  The way each of them have helped me to think about how my actions, and the way I choose to study my lessons and develop as a student, has made a tremendous impact on my life.  This impact is one that I will carry into the future as I myself advance in my professional studies.

Master se déroulant dans le campus à Perrache. Ce Master apporte dans connaissances de management mais aussi techniques grâce aux retours d'expériences de manager et ingénieurs travaillant dans différents milieux industriels. On retourne une partie sur le développement personnel pour apprendre à mieux se connaître et évoluer dans notre milieu. Il y a énormément de travaux en groupe ce qui favorisent l'interaction et l'esprit d'équipe au sein d'un groupe de personnes mais également l'amélioration de l'expression orale et écrite lors de la restitution des travaux.

Mes études au sein de la fac Catholique de Lyon ont pu m’inculquer des valeurs essentielles à la vie tel que le respect, l’ouverture d’esprit, la régularité, l’assiduité. 

Elle a aussi su m’apprendre des savoirs faire utiles pour ma futur carrière professionnel : un bon niveau d’anglais (3 mois à passer en université New York ainsi que 8 mois au Japon en école de langue).

Université Catholique de Lyon is a very well organized university. The staff is well prepared to receive the students, the classes are in accordance with the course theme. The library for books in english must be better, there is a lack of books.
