For a month, second-year students on the ESTIA Bachelor’s degree programme took part in an international exchange programme in Casablanca. Hosted by HESTIM, they followed a programme combining academic study, work experience and cultural exploration.

An international experience at the heart of the Bachelor’s programme

As part of their studies, second-year Bachelor’s students at ESTIA recently took part in a one-month international exchange in Casablanca, Morocco. Hosted by our academic partner HESTIM, they followed an intensive programme combining teaching, career exploration and cultural immersion.

This experience is fully in line with ESTIA’s commitment to offering programmes with an international dimension from the very first years of study.

A comprehensive programme combining academic training and practical immersion

Over four weeks, the Bachelor’s students benefited from a programme structured around several key areas:

  • 4 training modules delivered by HESTIM’s teaching staff
  • Company visits to explore Morocco’s industrial landscape and its unique characteristics
  • Cultural activities designed to foster openness to a new environment and different professional practices

This educational approach enables students to develop their technical skills, adaptability and understanding of international issues.

A structured and sustainable ESTIA–HESTIM partnership

The partnership between ESTIA and HESTIM is part of a long-term collaboration built on shared values: academic excellence, professional development and international outlook.

Each year, this partnership also takes the form of ESTIA welcoming third-year HESTIM students as part of an ESTIA/HESTIM dual-degree programme. This scheme enables students to benefit from a bicultural education and enhance their employability on the international stage.

Developing international pathways for the engineers of tomorrow

Through this type of academic exchange, ESTIA reaffirms its commitment to training students capable of thriving in multicultural environments and addressing the global challenges faced by businesses.

The development of this partnership with HESTIM is a strategic lever for enriching students’ pathways and offering increasingly immersive and career-focused experiences.
