ESSCA was the perfect choice of school for me. Triple-accredited and internationally renowned, the school offers international students the choice of pursuing a career either in France, or in their own country. The programme gave me the opportunity to carry out a business internship and an academic semester abroad, which was extremely valuable for putting theories into practice, and allowed me to significantly improve my English language skills. For all these reasons, I highly recommend ESSCA as a great place for learning, growing and trying out new experiences before jumping into the job market equipped with the real-world skills required by business.
