Why did you choose GPRE as your Master?
I studied a double degree bachelor's program that took place partially in Lorient, France where I met former GPRE students and got very excited about the whole program. I wanted to pursue my studies abroad and GPRE was the perfect match for me. I chose the program because it represents a very good combination of languages, project management, economics and many other subjects.
What was your best moment while studying?
I am very grateful for my classmates. We were a small group of students and became not only classmates, project colleagues but also really good friends. My favourite memories are from the semester in Germany during which we travelled all together a lot.
Where did you do your internship?
During my studies, I interned at Bosch for one year where I worked in a project management team at the International simultaneous engineering center. I was responsible for assisting to senior project managers, projects tracking, team progress tracking and Intranet management.
To whom would you recommend GPRE?
I would recommend GPRE to all people who search for a master program that will provide them with an international and intercultural experience while becoming a subject matter expert.
Where are you working now?

I started my studies in September 2019.
When did you graduate?
I will graduate, hopefully, in September 2021.
Why did you choose GPRE as your Master?
I chose the Master GPRE for several reasons. First, I wanted to study abroad for a long period of time. I thought that it was an amazing opportunity at all levels as it allows to study and be graduated in three different countries. Another reason was that I did not know Czechia very well and I was very motivated to learn the language and discover the culture. Finally, I decided to study GPRE because I found that the training was very diverse and complete : it provides good knowledge in project management, allows to reach a good level in several languages and gives an international opening.
What was your best moment while studying?
It is a tough question, as there are several moments that cross my mind. I would probably say the evening after taking the last state exam. We celebrated all night long and I could feel that everybody was happy, and at the same time, sad that our last semester together was already over.
Where did you do your internship?
I did my internship in Made in France. Made in France is an american association based in Seattle which aims at promoting French language and Francophone culture mainly in the US. I was project manager and it was very interesting. I really enjoy my time there, despite working 100% online because of the pandemic.
To whom would you recommend GPRE?
I would recommend the Master GPRE to anyone looking for adventure and ready to work in an intercultural environment. If you like languages but also economics, environmental management, marketing and other subjects, then you should definitely join this Master. You will not regret it!
