Testimonials
“It’s a very international environment. […] It’s very interactive and we usually work as small teams on lots of case studies. I learn a lot from this approach and from the other students, who bring different points of view and issues to the problems.”
Yelena alexandrovna Denyakina - Kazakhstan. MBA, HEC International Business School, 2005-2007 academic year.
“Studying here is very different from my previous school, as the program is very intensive, with many projects and exams and courses taught by experienced professors from various respected universities and companies such as IFP, Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre (EOST – Earth Sciences School and Observatory) and Total.”

“Total’s International Scholarship Program was a valuable experience and a great success. I got to complete my master’s degree from one of the best universities in Paris, in addition to gaining international exposure by living in Paris and learning about the French culture. I am very proud and appreciative to have been a student in Total’s program!
I dedicate my graduation to Total’s Scholarship Program Group, which was very supportive and truly a real family! Merci Total!”

A Worldwide Network of more than 500 students
Selected from among previous scholars who have returned to their home countries, the ambassadors lead the network of former scholars and keep track of their career paths.
They are the main contacts for Total’s subsidiaries and representative offices. They keep up to date with events organized by Total in their country and invite other former scholars to attend. The ambassadors also suggest and organize their own events in cooperation with Total. They also brief new scholars about schooling and life in France before their departure.
A network cemented with the appointment of “ambassadors.”
