Overall, the university is good. I am pleased to communicate with the international department: they have been in touch since the moment of admission and were ready to help with any question. Teachers are very friendly, try to submit material interestingly, give a lot of practical tasks.
I am studying at the Master-PIECE program, which is aimed at international cultural projects. The program is taught in English, but there are subjects in French. Now I understand that it is advisable to have the level of French at least B1 so as not to miss the material. Also it might be a problem to find a student job or an internship, if you speak English only.

Pros: excellent library, good hostels, cheap dinners in the CROUS dining room, many activities for international students, many sports options, there are French courses (only 1.5 hours a week), it is easy to find new friends. As part of my program, we often travel at the expense of the university.
Cons: Frequent schedule changes, too few hours of French and items in French in an English-language program. The teacher who is responsible for student internships does not speak English at all and does not answer the mail if you send a letter translated into French. So we are looking for internships ourselves!

University is located in Dijon, which is a very nice city. Here are a lot of cutural activities and interesting places to visit. We travelled to Paris – it’s just 1,5h by the express train. So, in UB you can enjoy France every day 🙂 Overall – I recommend the University, but you need to be prepared to meet the difficulties, if you don’t speak French.

This program was interesting, but as I was advancing with the courses, I felt the overload, intensity, and congestion of topics and deadlines. This could be because only one year is dedicated to classes in Dijon and the second year is dedicated to an exchange semester abroad, thesis presenting, and an internship semester. The topics covered during the first year were very informative but we only got the highlights as we had to go through a lot of them and did not get the chance to go in-depth into some of the topics that really interest us. The interculturality in this master’s program is really good, we had students from all over the world and we got to discover our interculturality throughout the year. The professors during the first year were diverse and had a lot of information for us, but on the other hand, some courses with some professors did not fulfill our expectations. The program directors were understanding of each person’s situation and kept the feedback window open.
