Testimonial

Yating

From the first week of integration to now, I have learned so much. How to wok with my classmates to make projects, presentations, and I have also made a lot of French friends which helps me understand the culture better. I had a great experience at ESSCA!

My business experience at a strategy consultancy helped me put what I’d learnt at ESSCA into practice and become more independent and confident. With the school’s support and regular guidance, I developed my skills while refining my career plans.

Théo

My study abroad semester at the Shanghai campus was an incredibly enriching experience. I improved my English, gained confidence speaking it, and met students from other ESSCA campuses and all over the world. Living in China made me more independent and introduced me to a new culture. Thanks to ESSCA’s constant support, I was able to make the most of this international adventure.
