As of 2001, by making it compulsory for all ESC students to spend their second study year abroad, ESC has reasserted this policy to the great benefit of its own and international students.  

Today, with  135 partner universities in 34 countries, ESC is able to guarantee every one of its students an enriching one-year, international academic consolidating experience through its recognised exchange programme.

This large-scale international student exchange programme is carried out in accordance with international conventions, without affecting tuition fees.
