Student life
Hear from students, meet the team
Amara Diallo
From Dakar, Senegal
MSc AI & Visual Computing, 2025
I came not knowing anyone in France. By the end of the first semester I had co-authored a paper with my lab supervisor. The integration here is not a promise — it is the actual day-one experience.
Lucas Ferreira
From São Paulo, Brazil
Engineering Degree (Diplôme d’ingénieur), 2026
Being visible in Paris-Saclay means you share labs and seminars with people from 15 different institutions. I learned as much from that ecosystem as from the curriculum itself.
Mei-Ling Wu
From Taipei, Taiwan
Master in Sustainable Energy, 2025
The career office knew which companies were actively recruiting international profiles. I had three interviews within two weeks of registering. That kind of targeted support is rare.
