Overall, I have a positive opinion about universities in Clermont-Ferrand (France), and I would definately recommend them to international student.
Why?
First, there are many universities and business School such as UCA university, Clermont School of Business, IAE, offering a wide range of programs. In my case, I completed a Master’s degree in Corporate Finance and Financial technology, which gave me strong skills in financial analysis, financial Modelling, performance analysis, and digital tools such as Python and power BI.
In my program, we did more practical projects, and I was also fortunate to have inspiring professors and mentors who helped me shape my career goals.
However, for others programs, students said their courses are more theoritical, so they didn’t dislike.
Another, the cost of living in Clermont-Ferrand is also relatively affordable compared to others cities. This is an adavantage, for students who need to manage their budgets carefully.
Overall, I would say Clermont-Ferrand offers a great balance between academic opportunities, affordable living costs, good transportation, which makes student life much easier.
