IÉSEG is one School on two campuses: the historic campus in the city of Lille, and the Paris-La Défense campus in the heart of Europe’s business district.
Why study in France?
France is an ideal place to study abroad thanks to its rich culture, gastronomy, architecture, and thriving student life. It has been the home of many of the world’s greatest philosophers and thinkers, and is a historic center of culture, from the Lumière Brother’s invention of cinema to the evolution of the cutting-edge fashion industry. Every year, France’s cultural events and festivities attract people from all over the world.
The Lille campus
IÉSEG’s Lille campus features six buildings (with a total of 22,500 m2) located in central Lille.
The campus hosts more than 3,000 students annually who enjoy a wide variety of modern and functional facilities, including meeting rooms, computer rooms, trading rooms, etc. As a part of the Catholic University of Lille, in a neighborhood hosting 31,000 students, IÉSEG students have access to IÉSEG’s own library, but also to university and online libraries as well. In addition, the Lille campus is undergoing a renovation and extension project, the IÉSEG Village, for its historic Lille campus. The objective of this project, inspired by the input and work of the School’s community (staff and students), is to create a campus of international standing, offering students a unique intercultural learning experience.
The Paris-La Défense campus
La Défense – Europe’s largest purpose-built business district.
The La Défense location of IÉSEG’s Paris campus is a strategic plus. Established primarily to strengthen IÉSEG’s links with French and international companies, it has enhanced the institution’s international reputation and visibility. As IÉSEG’s reputation continues to grow along with its student population, the expansion of the Paris-La Défense campus in 2017 has enabled the School to welcome almost twice as many students as it could before. Composed of three buildings with a total of 16,500 m2 (177,000 sq. ft.), the campus offers students 20 lecture halls, 40 classrooms, three multimedia rooms, two trading rooms, a library, two cafeterias and meeting rooms for clubs and associations.
Career Support
The School’s mission is to educate managers to be inspiring, intercultural and ethical pioneers of change. The Career Center provides personalized support and guidance to all students until they enter the job market, through a range of different courses, coaching sessions, events, activities and resources.
Clubs & Associations
Students can also join one or more of the numerous clubs and associations at the School, which enable them to meet other students, discover new things, take on responsibilities, and more.
Finance/Administrative/Housing and other support
IÉSEG also provides assistance when it comes to matters relating to housing, administrative support (advice for international students regarding visas, etc.), and more. In addition, prospective and current students can explore scholarship and financial aid options with the Tuition Fees Department.
