A formative and enriching experience

IÉSEG offers interactive teaching and international opportunities. I had the chance to go on an exchange to another country, which opened up new perspectives for me. The courses in Lille are stimulating, and the professors are very involved in our success.

Class of 2018, Int'l Business Administration

Studying at Skema Business School in Sophia Antipolis was a fantastic experience. The campus is modern and located in a wonderful tech hub. The professors bring real-world business experience to the classroom. I loved the multicultural environment and the group projects. Skema gave me great friends, a strong global network, and the right skills for my career.

I had an amazing experience at ESC Clermont Business School. As a school founded in 1919, it has more than 100 years of history and a strong reputation for academic excellence. It perfectly combines tradition with modern teaching methods and innovative business education. The professors are knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to support students both academically and professionally. The courses are practical, industry-focused, and designed to prepare students for today's global business environment, making the school competitive with many of the top business schools in France. One of the things I appreciated most was the location. Clermont-Ferrand is a beautiful, safe, and welcoming city that offers a great quality of life for students. The school truly values its international community, creating an inclusive environment where students from different cultures feel comfortable and supported from day one. What makes the experience even more special is the local community. The people in Clermont are friendly and welcoming, making it easy for international students to integrate, build friendships, and experience French culture beyond the classroom. I highly recommend ESC Clermont Business School to anyone looking for a high-quality business education, excellent faculty, a diverse international environment, and a supportive community. It is a place where you can grow academically, professionally, and personally.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
