Intercultural Engagement at IÉSEG

The teaching and learning experience at IÉSEG is international and intercultural by nature. This year, the School welcomes staff and students from more than 100 different nationalities (more than 2,000 international students on our campuses) and more than 80% of permanent professors are non-French. However, the School wants to go much further than just providing a multicultural environment and providing students with international experience, through exchanges and internships.

IÉSEG aims to be one of the leading business schools in the world in terms of true intercultural learning, teaching and research, by investing in the development of intercultural competences among students and staff and fostering research engagement and diffusion in this area.
