Foreign Students at ESCE
Welcoming Students
At the beginning of each semester, an Orientation week is planned to provide international students with all the information they need to undertake their studies at ESCE.
Beyond the logistical aspects managed by the International Relations staff, this week makes it possible to highlight things that are unique to ESCE, particularly the pedagogical approach, professors' background, student profile, how the curriculum progresses, the grading system and other terms and conditions of study. But more importantly, this is an opportunity for all of ESCE's administrative personnel to meet the international students and help welcome them.
ESCE students are also involved with these orientation activities through a mentoring programme that puts all international students--before they even arrive in Paris--in contact with a French student, who is responsible for helping the newcomers adapt to their new environment.
The Student Council (BDE in French) is a body that represents all ESCE students. It takes on the work of organising all the cultural, sports and festive activities that take place on the campus throughout the academic year. International students are, of course, encouraged to participate.
