Barnaby Rich - learning, getting involved and opening up to the world

At the age of 22, Barnaby Rich, a second-year engineering student at ESTIA, has found the ideal environment in which to flourish: hands-on learning, an intense community life and an international outlook.

Before joining ESTIA, Barnaby had started a course at Polytech Lyon.

"That programme didn't really suit me. I needed a more human and practical environment"

Seduced by the trilingual curriculum, double degrees and modern facilities such as the FabLab, he joined ESTIA, where he discovered a course that allowed him to combine scientific rigour and creativity.

Barnaby is very involved in several student associations, including the BDE, and helped to organise the school's annual gala.

"Coordinating a project of this scale has taught me to manage stress, work as part of a team and take responsibility

Next step: an academic stay in Peru, followed by a double degree at the University of Wolverhampton.

For Barnaby, ESTIA is much more than an engineering school:

"It's a place where you grow, where you learn to create, collaborate and discover yourself."
