IÉSEG School of Management offers about 120 courses taught in English on each campus to incoming exchange students. Students choose courses in our 5-year Grande Ecole Program (PGE). We offer a 3-year Bachelor Cycle (Business Administration) covering the fundamentals of management, and a 2-year Master Cycle (Master in Management) in which the students deepen their management knowledge and choose a specialisation. Courses are taught entirely in English.

In Fall 2020 we launched our redesigned Grande Ecole Program. Please check our course list carefully, as there are some modifications in terms of course availability and choice for exchange students. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information available at the time this list of courses is prepared, the institution reserves the right to make changes at any time without prior notice.

In the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), the normal workload for a full-time student is 30 credits per semester. The number of contact hours varies depending on the format and level of a course. Thus, students usually have to attend from 8 to 12 courses per semester to get 30 ECTS. We recommend that exchange students take a minimum of 20 credits per semester.

Bachelor students have access to Bachelor courses (our bachelor cycle is 3 years). Students who will be in their 4th year of Bachelor cycle will have to choose between either bachelor or masters level courses. Master students will have access to master courses. Students should pay attention to prerequisites.

Our courses and electives can be extensive (one-semester long) or intensive (one-week long).

Language requirements

Nominated students should have a good command of written and spoken English to ensure they can follow lectures and complete written/oral assignments and examinations competently. No official language test is required (French or English).

We also offer French language courses (FLE) at different levels. An online test is organized prior to the semester to register students in the appropriate group levels.
