I knew I wanted work in healthcare and also become a scientist, I didn’t think combining both was possible during a Bachelor's programme until I discovered CPS. The first-year curriculum is truly very interesting, the subjects are quite diverse making the courses very enjoyable. One of the important factors in making my decision was the language of instruction. Personally, CPS gave me the opportunity to return to the Netherlands after living in France for several years without shutting the door on a career in France, as English is the language of the field all over the world. Having never followed a full course in English, it can seem intimidating at first, but I have found the environment at CPS to be very supportive. When you’re struggling to find your words, many can relate and are therefore very understanding, and the others are ready to help. After only one year, I feel very comfortable using English for every situation.
