I am a first-year student at the ESAM, which had been strongly recommended to me. I am very satisfied with the school; the lessons are really interesting, and the support staff and teachers work really closely with the students helping us feel supported and encouraged. What a difference from high school!
The ESAM management are always available to listen and advise. This closeness has brought about a ‘spirit’ of well-being and confidence that can be felt around the school.
Moreover, there is a great atmosphere, particularly between first and second year students. In fact, our timetables allow us develop association projects together. I can’t wait for my time on work placement so that I can get out and discover the world of business.
I am delighted by my choice. The ESAM’s academic and professional recognition have reassured that I have made the right decision: this study path is made for me.
«The international opportunities were what decided me.»
I found out very early on what undergraduate business courses were available.
There was an enormous choice with each school stating that is was "the Best".
I found the ESAM through the TEAM competitive entrance exams. I became interested in the school as it had a very clear syllabus and courses that differed from the other schools, such as mandatory Chinese for everyone. The ESAM asserted their values of Ethics and Humanism. It was the possibility to study for State-recognized qualification with Lille 2 University reaffirmed my choice and the international opportunities on offer - at least a month abroad - were what clinched my choice.
«The ESAM, a ‘Grande Ecole’ that is small and friendly.»
My decision to join the ESAM was influenced by the school life and its reputation. The courses corresponding to my career objectives also offered an efficient system of individual support. My first year studies enabled me to acquire the tools necessary to go into a six-week internship under the best possible conditions.
It was in a publishing and production company where I was able to put into practice my dynamism and taste for taking initiatives.
Now I am in my second year. I am heavily involved in the associations, particularly "Blanches Neiges Events", which has helped me prepare myself even better for my future career in which I hope to put to use my managerial skills. For me, the ESAM is a "Grande Ecole" that is small and friendly.
« The ESAM has supported me throughout my search for a company and has introduced me to some of the companies in its network.»
After studying Humanities for three years at university, I realized that the course offered limited career opportunities.
Today, our generation has to anticipate what they want to do professionally by gaining solid professional experience. Consequently, block-release courses seemed to be the perfect answer. That is why I wanted to join the ESAM through the transfer system. It is a school with an excellent reputation for its teaching and network of partner companies. I wanted to have a vocational training that responded to the requirements of the job market.
Aware of my lack of professional experience due to my previous university studies, I had to prove my motives and a strong conviction during my recruitment interviews.
The ESAM has supported me throughout my search for a company and has introduced me to some of the companies in its network.
Currently, I am working on a vocational contract for GPSI Informatique recruitment agency, and I am in charge of finding potential profiles for the client account. It is a real challenge, and I am enjoying it.
« My "status" has led me to participate actively in the development of the company.»
During my degree year at university, I decided to find a management school to finalize my professional goals.
For me, university life was not professional enough and I wanted to find a school where I would find a training course that was more comprehensive and at the same time would give me access to the business world.
The ESAM attracted me both by its syllabus and its way of thinking.
The Part Time option offered by the ESAM puts us in a company where there is a strong possibility that we will be taken on permanently. My 'status’ has led me to participate actively in the development of the company. Over and above the benefits of having professionals as teachers and the high-quality and practical courses, the atmosphere within the group is really brilliant!
