In the summer 2003, I decided to continue my study in France at ESTBB with

the objective to acquire different advanced technologies and to receive more professional training. I choose n+i program to come to France to improve my success in the training with the help of linguistic integration package and  the semester of transition. Two years later, I am very glad to achieve my objective by studying in ENSTBB. The curriculum of ENSTBB enables me to have a general and complete knowledge relating to biotechnology. Moreover, the management-related courses enhance my other capabilities and allow me to have a general understanding in the French system. I believe those various courses will make me to have more choices to begin my work and also to have more potential to develop my future career.

Of course, I didn’t just study during these two years. I also made lots of friends

 in ENSTBB, visited nice places in France and discovered French culture. I thank

very much for the friendly reception and helps from the professors and the students

 of ENSTBB. Thanks to these helps, I can accomplish my study and have wonderful memories.

If you wish to obtain advanced knowledge regarding biotechnology and

you like the ocean and red wine, welcome to ENSTBB. You won’t be disappointed.

I choose n+i program to come to France to improve my success in the training with the help of linguistic integration package and the semester of transition.

In ENSTBB, my life was filled with accomplishment, enjoyment and satisfaction.

The improvement of my French, research abilities and special knowledge

 of biotechnology was worthwhile no matter how many obstacles and challenges I met in this period. Furthermore, I am grateful to my considerate classmates and teachers

for their concern and help. I appreciate the courses offered by ESTBB and these subjects cover from molecular biology, biophysics and protein purification to marketing and project management. It allows an engineering student to have multiple aspects of knowledge

 and competence for his or her professional plans.During six-month internship in Pierre-Fabre,

the bio-technical and academic background in ENSTBB helped me deal with some intractable tasks.I have learnt to work as a team and become more independent in the research field.

After finishing my internship report in French, I got more confidence on pursuing

 the further research in France.The school also provides us with many opportunities

 for jobs or Ph.D positions and helps us organize the future projects.

It’s really helpful for me, as a foreigner, in this country. After graduation from ENSTBB,

I have determined to do my Ph.D study in Paris.

I have no regret for my study in France. Instead, my achievements

 are more than what I expected.

Hello, this is Yuechen, a Chinese student from nplusi promo 2007. Before I finished my bachelor

degree in university at 2007, I heard one program offered fresh bachelor student an opportunity to continue master degree in France around 2 years about relevant natural science domain. As it is an official program guaranteed by both sides governments, I applied for it online and was chose by ENSTBB as I have biotechnology background during my university.

 

The first half year I spent some time in language adaptation and basic course learning. I came to Bordeaux at the beginning of 2008. Progressively, I passed the first term study and I found my long-term internship in Nice. After obtaining my degree on June,2009, I came back to China because I believed that job opportunity would be more chance here. Luckily, I found a job at Genscript and worked there since 2009. So far, nearly two years passed, I have keep working on the business development associate for Europe at Genscript. With the expansion of Genscript, our Europe sale has increased according to our support. To sum up, I appreciate that I have the chance to join Nplui programme at 2007. Not only gave me a memorable experience two years in France to realize the local culture, but also it offered me a more competitive ability in finding an international job.
