Studying abroad

The development of the School’s international orientation is significant and the School has established programmes with a true international dimension.

In the Business Management Programmes, a complete track (IMiM) has been set up entirely in English with a faculty that is mostly comprised of English native speakers. This track is very attractive for French and foreign students.

The Franco-German track and the Franco-German-Russian track also offer double and triple diplomas with equal time spent in the targeted countries.

ESC Lille has established more than 60 international agreements all over the world for its Business Management Programmes.

Student mobility can be arranged within the framework of Life Long Learning Program (Erasmus mobility) or according to bilateral agreements. It takes place during year 2 or year 3. Students join the host university and their academic experience is validated when they return to ESC Lille thanks to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) or to full recognition of the study period abroad. To be involved in mobility, students are selected on the basis of their academic results, language skills, motivation, and adaptability.

Generally, ESC Lille students do not have to pay extra tuition fees when they enrol in one of ESC Lille’s partner universities, since they are still administratively attached to the School. Mobility grants can be provided under the Life Long Learning Program.

Company placements and gap year

The second possibility for students to enter an international environment involves work experience abroad during an internship period and/or the gap year. This is a successful policy, and the number of participants as well as the quality of company placement increases each year.
