Les témoignages de nos étudiants

I have dyslexia, dysorthography, and attention disorders. I’ve always had to work harder than others. But here, since I’m doing what I love, it’s completely different. Right from the start, I requested a support plan, and I received a response in less than an hour. Everything fell into place quickly. I submitted the accommodations I’d received for my high school diploma exams, along with the doctor’s note, and was granted extra time on my exams. You don’t feel excluded at all because the support is already in place. I really appreciated not having to deal with a lot of red tape when I was just getting used to student life! Finally, the professors make sure everyone understands the material, especially in the first semester—they adapt to our pace.

Les témoignages de nos étudiants

The MediaLab is an excellent academic resource that allowed me to get a behind-the-scenes look at radio journalism and explore careers in communications. This immersive space complements the theory we learn in class. As a member of the Student Council, I was also able to use it to launch our charity livestream, which had a professional look and feel and provided great visibility for our project.

Jana

former student in Bachelor's Degree Media, Culture and Communication

Les témoignages de nos étudiants

It’s a very interdisciplinary bachelor’s program: there are courses in radio, film, and communication theory… I’m really enjoying my time at the Catho: I’m studying subjects I’ve chosen myself and pursuing my passions through student organizations. It’s shaping me for the future, and I know I’ll look back fondly on my college years in Lille.
