Ananda College Colombo to Esigelec Graduate School of Engineering - France to Become a Mechatronics Engineer
Hi, I am Thavindu Samarsinghe from Ananda College Colombo. While I was waiting for my A/L Results, I got to know about the AIC's 5Years Msc France Transfer Program. I went and met the admissions team of AIC Campus and they offered me an option of completing the first 2 years in Sri Lanka and to transfer to France for last 3 Years. In my first 2 Years we learnt the subjects of Engineering Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering. Also we learnt French language as a parallel subject. In the beginning, I thought French language is going to be the biggest challenge but when I started to study, it was very interesting and exciting, now I speak French better than English. I'm a fourth year student and I’m doing Mechatronics Engineering at ESIGELEC in classical cycle. ESIGELEC is a practical oriented engineering school which is really a good thing as we understand what is necessary for real life jobs as we learn. We have to do Internship for each year. However ESIGELEC has an online platform for the students, from where we can apply for internships as well as for jobs which is really useful. I have lived in France for more than a year and it has been a wonderful experience and we got to learn a lot about French culture and had fun in so many ways. AIC Campus is having a group of professional staff members and I have to thank AIC Campus for showing me this wonderful pathway. Also I would like to thank all the admission staff of AIC Campus who guided me through my admissions process and in my 1st two years of Studies in Sri Lanka.

The cost of education in France is extremely affordable and it is only around 25% of the cost of education in other developed countries that Sri Lankan students apply for their higher education. The moderate course fee is supported by extremely affordable cost of living and state support for housing. Students are encouraged to get valuable industry exposure which will lead to employment upon successful completion of the degree programs.
