This masters program is supported by the Government, hence the very low cost.

Australian students are very popular and in turn, Australian students have enjoyed the student life in town with the many bars, restaurants etc and they have found it easy to mix with French students.

Lille has very limited English subject offering, so would probably be a destination better suited to French language students who are interested in the sciences or business areas.

The University has good sporting facilities and it is easy to join sporting clubs.
