ESSCA School of Management is known for its international approach and diverse programs. In my opinion, many students appreciate its emphasis on experiential learning and the opportunities for international exposure through exchange programs and internships. However, some may find the workload demanding and challenging but that's the way it operates. Whether I recommend it would depend on your specific academic and career goals, as well as your preferences for learning style and environment. Likes/ Dislikes: *Essca provides enormous opportunities to improve and enhance your skill. *Diversified culture *Provides webinars and seminars across all the campuses. *Workload Management could be seen as an disadvantage. As sometimes, you may find it very challenging.
Essca

BIM program review
The school's organization and the program schedule is very bad even though their title is School of Management. School environment is super and fully French, not international like their advertisement. If you are an international student with student visa to live in France, the international office is not helping much with your residence permit application in France. Not highly recommend school to be honest.
