and Paris experience
boosted my self-
confidence enormously
as well as giving me
a career direction and
a great network of
contacts. Studying at
ULIP will not only give
you a great grounding
in French language
and French history,
politics and culture but
the Paris experience
will open plenty of
career opportunities.”
