International Strategy

JUNIA cultivates a global mindset and its international DNA by fostering an excellent educational experience for international students and faculty; promoting student, faculty, and staff mobility; and offering all students an enriching multicultural experience.

JUNIA implements responsibly-franchised programmes abroad which are co-constructed with a global network of partners. The objective is to allow international students to acquire solid pre-requisite skills in their home country in preparation of pursuing an engineering degree in France. These initiatives are supported by satellite offices spread across continents.

To improve the global employability of students abroad, JUNIA offers an enriching multicultural experience thanks to an internationalised curriculum taught in English, as well as international partnerships building European bachelors and double degree programs. JUNIA also aims to build engaging industrial partnerships, assisting economic actors to recruit and train the international talent they need.

Erasmus + programs are a fundamental part of our international strategy. JUNIA is actively involved through student mobility (study and internships), faculty and staff mobility (training and teaching), participation in strategic partnerships, international credit mobility, and reception of guest professors and business professionals.

To help international students ease into life at ISA Lille, our international programs include:

• Programs taught entirely in English
• Intensive courses in intercultural communication and French
• Orientation and individual mentoring for international students
• Attentive logistical and administrative assistance before and throughout their stay

In addition, all JUNIA students must have an experience abroad of at least one semester during their studies through an internship, study abroad or double diploma programs.

JUNIA equips our students with international skills, thanks to our professors who possess their own international dimension and expertise. The quality of our pedagogical teams and their research activities guarantees the quality of our courses. JUNIA works on this aspect through the following actions:

• Incoming and Outgoing mobility of professors, researchers and doctoral candidates with our partner universities
• Involvement in European and international research programs
• Employment of international professor-researchers and personnel

The prime objective of our business network internationalisation is ensuring a high employability rate for all our graduates, both French and international students. Thanks to our business-oriented projects, JUNIA students start building their professional network from frequent exposure to our business partners. Another primary objective is keeping contact with our foreign alumni network. Our international alumni represent a real added value for businesses eager to develop their activities in the country of origin of these graduates. The global presence of JUNIA alumni allows us to provide international services to our business partners (e.g. recruitment of local managers instead of expatriates).
