L’expérience FLD

“Originally from New Caledonia, I chose the dual degree in International Law & Finance for its excellent training, combining legal rigour and financial expertise, which is not available in my country. I appreciate the academic standards, the international outlook and the gradual immersion in the business world. My internship in tax law in Paris confirmed my desire to become a business lawyer in a stimulating international environment. My upcoming exchange programme in Germany will strengthen my linguistic and intercultural skills. As a committed delegate and ambassador, I am aiming for a career at the intersection of law, finance and global strategic issues.``
