The program I had attended for master was international ERUSMUS physical chemistry, We were obliged to move at least to one more country between France, Portugal, Italy and Poland. Personally I chose France for first semester and then moved to Porto for second one and the last year of my studies, I had stayed in France.
I would like to start from first semester in France in universite Paris Sud. Despite the fact a lot f courses should have covered during 6 month which make it exhausting and stressful, the whole semester make huge difference in knowledge in my case. However, having so much exams just in 3 days made it so hard to be focused and show all your potential in exams. A lot of topics has been covered and knowing I didn’t have background in most of them, for me it was unique opportunity to learn and improve my knowledge in chemistry just in 6 month.
The year after that when I came back to Paris again, it wasn’t so hard to adopt myself with educational system and pressure was much lower as we knew how to deal with it. Still there were a lot to learn about specificity of radiation.
One of the most important thing in our program was focusing not only on scientific topics but also complementary topics such as patent law which is necessary to know as a future scientist.
I experienced alot during these two years, I met people from all around the world, get to know different cultures and found lifetime friends. Without doubt I couldn’t come this far without attending this program so if someone ask me whether come to this program or not I would recommend it.
