After getting her engineering degree at ENSAM, Cécile worked for 5 years at Alstom. This young woman, one of the 6 women in the year group, is now a technical engineer in charge of communication at Siemens.
It was because she wanted to “expand my technical knowledge but also acquire an overview of projects” that she chose to follow this programme. She sees it as “a possibility for career development” and is particularly interested in the “system view”.
Having completed his education at the Changsha Railway Institute (Hunan Province, China) in 1995, Beijing born Yahong Liu is now project leader responsible for new high-speed lines for the Chinese Railway Ministry.
For him, studying at one of France’s big engineering schools was a way “to discover both French culture and a new way of thinking”. “After I go back to China”, he says, “I should be able to work with French companies on projects. It’s a very good thing for me to meet French colleagues. For the moment in China we don’t have a lot of experience with high-speed rail. So I want to use this course to get to know the French standards system, because it is very important for the construction of new lines.”
Having acquired his law degree, Yvan Thosen, one of the youngsters in the 2009 year group, was keen to move into the transport sector. So he took a Masters degree in transport and mobility at Paris XII University, and then followed it up with an internship at SMA, a Swiss design office, which prompted him to look more specifically at the rail and guided transport sector.
After the Masters in “Rail and guided transport systems”, his plan is to “work in regional government, so in principle a region with a rail transport system, or why not an urban area with a railway system.” What interests him in this Masters programme is “the wider picture”.
