Paris 8 masters
I love my university and Masters. They have the best teachers, most of them have done really interesting research and written books. If you would ever want to come to study to France or Paris i would completely recommend Universite Paris 8, because they really accompany you through the process of obtaining your Master and guide you well through all the difficulties you might find. Also, they are well known for their good hosting of international students. They are well prepared to receive the international students.
A Community beyond education
UPEI is more than a university, it�s a vibrant community. I�ve loved participating in extracurricular activities and volunteer work, which have helped me grow beyond academics. The business programs, especially Marketing, are outstanding. Last semester, marketing became my favorite subject, thanks to the inspiring guidance of Professor Melody Dover, who made every class engaging and practical. I highly recommend UPEI to anyone seeking a welcoming community, excellent academics, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
