At the IAE my educational experience, in the strict sense of the word, was absolutely the best I have experienced in upper education, and I also studied at the University of Illinois at Chicago, as well as the University of Paris – Dauphine.
Professors at the IAE are there for ONE REASON: passion. This isn’t the case in other “big name” schools, where some researchers simply teach because they are required (and you can feel it!).
Opportunities for apprenticeships and internships were lesser, however. This is the reason that I regrettably left this school to get my last year of masters at a “big name school” – and my core educational experience suffered for it.
The IAE Gustave Eiffel will always have my support and I think it can and will grow into a top name in the Paris region.
