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.

Just a big NO-NO

As an international student attending the MBA WINE AND SPIRITS BUSINESS program and spending 32 thousand euros (besides the need of quitting my job, move, find an accommodation and change lifestyle) I would say that the school is worth less then half of what it costs. The only good aspects of it are the big students’ communities, the commitment of the international office and the quality of some teachers who cannot really give their best because they’re hampered by the strict organisation of the school programs. Administration, services and the overall school organisation are really below expectations and the educational level is just average despite the cost and the “reputation”. Everyone (classmates, other international students and french ones from all courses and years) complained about the fact that “the school used to be a good one, but now is just bad”!

Valuable networking

I found a tight-knit community at Ecole Vatel, with valuable networking and experiential learning opportunities. The intimate setting allows professors to tailor their guidance, equipping students with applicable knowledge and skills. This personalized approach motivated me to reach my full potential and feel better about transitioning into the workforce.
