    Student story

    Justine, from Canada to L’Oréal.

    Justine chose Intuit Lab for its hands-on Master: a first year of experimentation and creative fundamentals, then a one-year industry apprenticeship at L’Oréal. She values the feedback of professionals who teach at the school, and the chance to study and work at the same time, in English, within an international community.
