Université Grenoble Alpes - UG (reviews)

This is one of the prominent research universities of France. I am currently learning the energy transition through efficient and user-friendly design of smart grids and buildings. I am learning the real-time industrial application in my lab and classes.

Grenoble Alpes University is a very good university from a scientific point of view. The modern laboratories, equipped with various materials, allow for numerous practical projects. Furthermore, the campus, which brings together all the necessary institutions for a better student life, is a major asset. In addition, the university has many professors who are true professionals in research, and who always remain attentive to support students.

It was a huge but positive contrast compared to my previous experience during my bachelor’s. The engineering school I did my masters in (École nationale supérieure de l’énergie, l’eau et l’environnement), had up to date programs with practicals and projects relevant to today’s world. They always adapted the program to stay relevant and didn’t have the same redundant subjects. It was an international program so they included French classes in the curriculum which made it easier for us to integrate. It is also located in a serene city with rich history and surrounded by the most beautiful mountains.

It is a great university for researchers with several inter and trans disciplinary studies. The environment is very conducive with state of the art laboratories and facilities to help with your research. Collaboration with others is easy and encouraged. The senior researchers are very knowledgeable and nurturing in helping train the younger students. The campus is in a great location surrounded by the Belledone and Vercor mountains.
