Personal comments
It was a great opprtunity to improve my english especially because I would like to work abroad (Lonndon) in the financial and banking field. The university was very international with students from all over the world ( China, India, Korea, France, England, Belgium, Turkey....). I enjoyed a lot my stay and I had the opportunity to understand different poins of views from different people with different backgrounds.
