Gauthier Andrien, LSM/KU Leuven 2014-2016

I decided to study the last year of my master's in Leuven in Dutch and English. Of course, in the end, you receive a double degree (one in French and one in Dutch) but the main motivation to attend such a programme should be: 

- the discovery of a new learning system as the Dutch one is not similar to ours; 

- the accelerated learning of the other languages (Dutch and English); and 

- the adaptability to a new environment. 

By attending such a programme, you are of course ahead of other candidates when applying for a job as employers only have two words in their mind while recruiting: flexibility and languages. 

I won't lie to you by saying that the courses I attended in Dutch were already very complicated for the Flemish students. So what could it be for us, the French native speakers? But it was really a great journey that I will never forget...
