UNITE students will have the opportunity to build their own study program within this alliance, with joint programs, so that their professional project can be as personalized as possible. They will develop into daring engineers and entrepreneurs, capable of contributing to a competitive European industry. UNITE! will offer a prosperous training environment including easier international mobility, virtual campus, support networks for entrepreneurship, and European careers.
