Testimonial of Chuong Le Van (Vietnam), International student in Computer Security at EPITA Graduate School of Computer Science - Paris France.
I came to know about EPITA Graduate School of Engineering from a friend who was already studying here. I was really excited about studying in this school and thus I applied through the school's website for a Master's Program in Computer Security. The computer security specialization program is a very well balanced program with technical and management subjects. Now I have spent one year in EPITA and I am completely satisfied with the choice that I made; the overall experience has been very positive. I learned about advanced technologies in computer security from professors who were experienced and used interesting methodologies.
EPITA provides a great international environment, there are students from all over the world in the International Master’s program and it helped me to increase my knowledge not only about technology but also about new cultures.

Phuoc DAI NGUYEN

Nationality: Vietnamese
Work experience: 1 year
International Program:CS

After completing my bachelors degree in computer science in Vietnam, I was interested in doing a Master's course in the field of computer security in an international environment. I came across EPITA's Graduate Engineering Program with specialization in computer security through their website and immediately applied for this program. As luck would have it, I got a scholarship from my country (Vietnam) for this program. My aim is to obtain more knowledge in the field of computer security and use this knowledge to serve my country. EPITA and France have so many technical advances to share with the rest of the world and I view this International Program as a means of distributing this knowledge. The teachers at this institute are very friendly and always ready to help. Being in Paris, communicating with French people in their own language is a challenging but enriching experience. This program is the platform for a real experience in an international and multicultural environment.
