Georgia Tech Lorraine, located in Metz,
France is the European campus of the Georgia Institute
of Technology, an internationally ranked
engineering and technology focused
university whose graduates are in demand around the globe.
Georgia Tech is situated in the southeastern United
States in the heart of Atlanta, an international city
with a metropolitan population of 6 million.
This location offers close proximity to a wealth
of professional, cultural, and entertainment opportunities.
While Georgia Tech's 400 acre wooded
campus offers a traditional university experience
with state of the art facilities,
a diverse and active student body, student housing,
and other amenities.
Since Georgia Tech Lorraine was established in 1990,
thousands of French, European, and graduate students
from around the world have made it a part of their success
story, studying in both Metz and Atlanta
to become internationally educated engineers who
are better prepared for today's global economy.
Georgia Tech is truly a remarkable university.
The trajectory of that university in the last 30 years
has been absolutely remarkable.
And just that degree of Georgia Tech
is well known throughout the world.
My research involves modeling for solar cells using the three
nitride materials.
All the equipment the students can dream of for doing research
is actually here.
We have all the equipment in terms
of optical characterization, electrical characterization,
structural characterization.
We have one with the best mechanics and acoustic labs
in Georgia Tech Lorraine.
First of all, Georgia Tech is one of the top 10 engineering
schools in the world.
I don't know what better preparation you have than that.
I would say that for European students
to start actually at the European campus in Metz
is a plus.
It's truly Georgia Tech and yet, it's
still based in Europe so it's a softer transition
and immersion into the program in Atlanta.
There's a huge amount of research going on
at Georgia Tech.
And when you looking for internships
or when you're looking for research projects,
the resources available to find one
or to get connected with someone or company, are just massive.
The vast majority of the companies
that our students are going to go work for are global.
At some point in their career, they're
going to have an international assignment where
they're going to be connected to teams all around the world.
There's a lot of interest from companies, a lot of exchange
with the labs.
The career fairs are just huge and very exciting.
If you want to work abroad, just go to Georgia Tech,
have this Georgia Tech master of science and you will work.
Actually, anywhere.
I have some of my friends who got the master of science
there in the US, some of them are back in Europe
just with a better salary or a better job.
Many students, when they arrive here,
are almost overwhelmed by all the offers,
the job offers that you can get.
Very dynamic.
I know friends who after graduating from Georgia Tech
have started working at Google, Intel, Adobe, Spotify,
Microsoft.
There's very few top notch universities
that offer an international exposure or program
at the graduate level.
That's just invaluable to me.
It's a very, very flexible program,
and they can do it either in Atlanta, in France, or even
at our campus in China, in Shenzhen.
It's extremely flexible.
When you come here, you have the opportunity
to get a Georgia Tech degree and you have all of the resources
that you can expect from a Georgia Tech institution.
If you are an European student and are
interested in advanced degrees, you
have the opportunity of getting the best American education
and still live within the environment you know so well
and experience the American style, culture, both in Europe
and by visiting Atlanta.
It has been such an amazing experience
on top of discovering a new world,
discovering a new culture.
It changed my life.
I am constantly amazed that Georgia Tech offers a Georgia
Tech campus in France.
You get the same education that you
get at Georgia Tech in France.
What I would tell a student is that they should go for it.
I mean, if they want to have an international education,
that's top notch, the best of the best.
Everyone that comes here loves it.
And I'm very glad that I did it.
It's definitely worth it.
I would say do it.
It's a no brainer.
Go for it.
