Why did you choose the Communications and Data Science double degree programme?
After doing my first thesis in my home country, I was looking for a specialisation mainly in data science. When I found the Communications and Data Science programme, it was insightful that I'd learn how to combine machine learning aspects with communications. That’s why I applied and finally got accepted in Grenoble for my first year.
I chose to study my second year at Aalto University because of the good reputation of Finland’s education system. I made some research about the country, the university and its research fields and it was quite impressive.

What has been the best thing about your studies?
It has been great to study new topics in Finland, especially mobile communications (5G) which is one of the country’s most advanced industry sectors, and to understand how to combine it with data science and design intelligent systems.
What benefits do you see in the internationality of the programme?
I would say the diversity of the working environment. We benefit from experiencing both countries and universities. It’s good to adapt yourself to different work and study environments starting from the master's studies. Those skills will help in the future with job requirements.
