Study outside of the classroom !
Most courses include one or more off-campus site visits, allowing students to experience the “real world” implications and applications of their course material.
In addition, the LILLE European Summer Program cultural program, which includes a variety of exciting field trips at no additional cost (not to mention the various optional trips on offer), also plays an important role in the overall academic curriculum.
