ESCE

Today, the school offers its students multidisciplinary courses that make them experts in international functions, with incomparable employability in a job market open to the world and in a constantly changing environment. Initially based in Paris, the school has also had a Campus in Lyon since 1999.

ESCE has developed real proximity with all forms of companies (large international groups, ETIs, SMEs, start-ups), and strong links with international networks and institutions.

Enable future graduates to be ideally trained to succeed in their international careers.

An Inventive Pedagogy

Focused on the market economy but also social, environmental, and solidarity.

Teaching methods at the cutting edge of technology and innovation.

A Multicultural Approach

Nearly 70 different nationalities on our campuses, intensive foreign language instruction, and international internships and exchanges.

Multiplicity of Specific Career Paths

Each student can define his or her own project and prepare for an international career.

Individual Development at the Heart of ESCE’s Strategy

Since 2019, the school has implemented a system for evaluating all skills (technical, behavioral, and linguistic) to help students integrate the strengths on which they can rely, the points to improve, and thus stand out in their transition into the job market.

This work is materialized by the provision at the end of studies of a “ Skills Passport” which brings together all the skills acquired by the student throughout their course and which is inspired by the skills assessments carried out by companies for several years. This pragmatic and innovative support is a real tool for legitimizing skills both for graduates and for companies recruiting with a certified document.

Taking Digital Transformation Into Account

The implementation of an innovative pedagogy allows enriching exchanges with students in a qualitative way, which responds to a desire for autonomy, flexibility, and diversity in teaching methods.

Beyond courses integrating a digital approach, the school offers online and hybrid programs allowing each student to develop their own point of view on the world by awakening their curiosity, to go further in their thinking. They are validated like other courses by ECTS.

After “Geopolitics Meetings”, the “Humanities Forum” and “Doing Business In”, ESCE has just launched “Free Trade”, the podcast for International Business players.

Solid Institutional Partnerships

The reputation of ESCE as a Grande École de Commerce International is based on its recognized expertise in International Management resulting from sharp and renowned research, its real proximity to all forms of companies (large international groups as well as start-ups), and partnerships signed with international reference networks.
