ESCE International Business School

ESCE, École Supérieure du Commerce Extérieur, is THE Grande Ecole de Commerce Extérieur, founded in 1968 on the initiative of the French Center for Foreign Trade, which has since become Business France.

Today, the school offers its students   multidisciplinary courses   that makes them   experts in international functions , with   incomparable employability   in a job market open to the world and in a constantly changing environment. Initially based in Paris, the school has also had a Campus in Lyon since 1999.

ESCE has developed real proximity with all forms of companies   (large international groups, ETIs, SMEs, start-ups),   and strong links with international networks and institutions..

INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE HEART OF ESCE’S STRATEGY

Since 2019, the school has implemented   a system for evaluating all skills   (technical, behavioral and linguistic) to help students integrate the strengths on which they can rely, the points to improve and thus   stand out in their transition into the job market.

This work is materialized by the provision at the end of studies of a   “Skills Passport”   which brings together all the   skills acquired by the student throughout their course   and which is inspired by the skills assessments carried out by companies for several years. This pragmatic and innovative support is a real tool for legitimizing skills both for graduates and for companies recruiting with a certified document.

SOLID INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

The reputation of ESCE as a Grande   É cole de Commerce International is based on its recognized   expertise in International Management resulting from sharp and renowned research, its   real proximity to all forms of companies   (large international groups as well as start-ups) and partnerships signed with international reference networks.
