Franco-British Connections

FB-Connections’ philosophy is to encourage and help students to develop their own projects. We view student-led events as complementary to the regular course-based projects. Students are often not aware of their potential to organise important and mutually beneficial events with other universities; this is where FB-Connections strives to act as a catalyst, by putting students in touch with our alumni. The Franco-British Young Leader programme was incubated by us back in 2015.
