It was a great experience because I was able to interact with people with different backgrounds and get education from highly competent and experienced professors.

Le Double Diplôme a été pour moi un jalon essentiel pour la concrétisation de mon projet professionnel que je poursuis actuellement par un Doctorat au Laboratoire SMS-ID à l’INSA L.

Chaimaa Jaafari — MS CAEE ’17 from INSA Lyon, France

If I have to describe my experience at IIT in one sentence, I would say that it was an eye-opening and truly rich experience. It was worth it and opened an horizon of opportunities for me.

Larissa Affolabi — M.Eng Power Engineering ’19 from ESIGELEC, Rouen; currently pursuing a Doctoral program at ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳

Was the experience at IIT worth it?

—Absolutely! The experience is worth the cost from a compensation point. Without ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳, I would have not been able to work in the USA. The job market is a very competitive one. You need to be able to differentiate yourself. Studying in the USA gives you that differentiation.
