Advantages of the year abroad : adaptability and maturity
In the face of the fact that world exposure is the only way to understand and adapt to globalisation of the economy and corporations, ESC Montpellier has been quick to develop its policy of international openness.
At ESC Montpellier all students spend their second study year abroad.
Indeed, in accordance with teaching practices, every student must complete a full continuous academic year abroad in one of 135 partner universities, the year abroad being without incidence on the overall period of study or tuition fees.
This international experience is more than just an integral part of the programme – it is an essential experience giving students a taste of international business practices, experience of mobility, mastery of a foreign language, access to joint qualifications and cultural exchange to name but a few of the advantages.
The International programmes department of the Montpellier Business School plays a central role in this field by providing information and guidance, offering students support in terms of corresponding choices to be made, organising departures and provides continuous support.

The China programme : an original and comprehensive programme
China is now at the heart of all planetary economic issues. That is why, in 2003, ESC Montpellier concluded agreements with China's most prestigious universities.
The China programme is designed to prepare students to experience and master business practices as encountered in the emerging Chinese market., as well as to introduce students to the true Asian approach to international business.
Developed with the universities of Xi'an, Sichuan in Cheng Du and Shanghai, this programme combines a course on Chinese culture, language courses and industrial experience. Unique in its field, this programme allows students to become completely submerged in China’s cultural and economic environment.
