Welcome everybody,
UNIQUE Elite School 4-year Master programme (with only 3 years' schooling to be paid), the ESC Montpellier is also the ONLY Elite School Programme in France to offer ALL ITS STUDENTS the possibility to spend a full and compulsory 2nd year in a foreign university, a 3rd year of professional work experience and a 4th year with such a wide choice of specialisations (33 in all).
Completely bilingual, reinforced by more than 20 months of experience in at least 3 companies, frequently holders of double or triple diplomas, the graduates of the ESC Montpellier leave the school with a CV which is unique in France in terms of competence and experience. Logically, they are overwhelmingly valued by recruiting companies (more than 80% of the students sign a work contract before even obtaining their diploma) because of their maturity and their capacity to adapt to change and new environments, an essential quality in these times of severe economic and social upheaval.
The ESC Montpellier also stands out by its concrete respect for and application of fundamental values: diversity and acceptance of social differences, global responsibility, innovation and entrepreneurship. It is for these reasons that the school has implemented, for several years now, a strong and internally-driven policy of Equal Opportunity through numerous student grants and assistance of all kinds to enable students from all horizons to undertake high quality superior level studies.
With this perspective in mind, the ESC Montpellier has accentuated its efforts for the apprentice programmes. Today, the school is number 1 in France in terms of enrolled students with 303 apprentices for the Elite School Programme alone and it is the only Elite Management School in France to offer its students the possibility to follow an apprentice degree course right from the first year of studies.
Institution with a human dimension open to social diversity and composed of professors coming from all parts of the world and programme managers with varied and atypical careers, the ESC Montpellier helps the students to fix their study path and their career objectives thanks to a personalised follow-up and support. They can at any point in time choose an orientation corresponding to their desires and the requirements to optimise the preparation of their future. Nevertheless, they are obliged to assume their responsibilities. When they engage in a project, they know that this commitment binds them to others and they manage to find the right balance between their personal ambitions and the needs of the group.
A large range of assets that make the ESC Montpellier an ideal choice to enhance your talents and enable your most ambitious projects to take form.
