University information
All applications go through the online portal on the dedicated website for international candidates. Candidates upload their documents online and pay the application fee to submit their application. Next, EMLV Business School will schedule an online interview to assess the candidate’s profile and motivations. Applications open in October and close in early July. There is only one intake per year in September or October. If candidates are admitted, they must pay the deposit to secure their place on the programme. They will then receive an official enrolment letter, which will allow them to start their visa application.
Candidates will need a CV, motivation letter, a copy of their grade transcripts and any degrees they already hold, their language test score (if applicable), a copy of their passport, and a photograph of themselves. See the programme pages for specific courses requirements.
Candidates must also demonstrate, if English is not their first language, a B2 level. They should provide a test score (TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, Cambridge). If English is their first language or if they have graduated from a programme taught in English, then they do not need to present an official test score. All of their English-taught programmes have compulsory French classes included as part of the tuition fees. Students will sit a French test to find their level and be allocated an appropriate group.
Some programmes also require a proof of B2 proficiency in French for admission. If French is their first language or if they have graduated from a programme taught in French, then they do not need to present an official test score.
In Paris-La Défense, Devinci Higher Education offers a multi-site campus. State-of-the-art facilities and equipment allow students to study and train in excellent conditions.

Student life
The Pole Leonard de Vinci is the genuine place of contacts and exchange where students benefit from academic programs, internationalization and close relations with the business world.
Besides the conviviality which reigns on the campus, the associations of the Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci are part of the students’ training. Each student can find through different associations a cultural, humanitarian or sports activity which enables him/her to express his/her talents, his/her ability of organisation, of management and business and acquire a real human and professional experience.
To support new students, they have their ‘Welcome Desk’ service, which is dedicated to making student arrival as smooth as possible. This includes assistance with finding accommodation, visa validation and renewal, campus integration, opening a bank account, getting a phone subscription, getting a public transport card, and applying for social security and housing aid.
The school does not own or manage its own accommodation. Instead they have a partnership with a dedicated online housing search platform. Once students have paid the deposit, they are granted access to that platform to begin their search. Through this, students can find a rental close to the campus of Paris-La Défense, find roommates and form shared rentals, find a subletting or even find a room in a French family.
The ESILV’s educational project, made with and for companies, and the important part of experiences into company during the course (14 months minimum), contribute to explain the successful insertion of ESILV’s young graduates in the job market.
ESILV improves some very close links with companies in all business sectors: aeronautics, automobile, civil engineering, engineering, IT department, telecommunication, bank, insurance, among others.
