I am currently in my third year of International Studies at the Sorbonne. Last year, I had the opportunity to study at Freie Universität Berlin, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge of Franco-German relations. Despite my international outlook, I believe it is essential to be part of an Italian association such as the UIS Italian Society in France, in order to support all the Italian students who, just like me four years ago, dream of studying in Paris.This is Why i’m happy to be the Tutoring referent for UIS France.
