[edit] Training offered
Graduate programme (Flag Diploma)
The Grande Ecole Programme is organised in two sections (Bachelor et Master), and is perfectly adapted to international mobility. Its mission is to receive a growing number of foreign students. The Masters section, covering four semesters, includes one semester of internship and a study period in one of our partner universities. It ends up with a ‘major’, which is a genuine interface with the international job market. The ‘European tracks’ which are one semester longer, allow students to study in three or four different European Union countries. They widen the horizons and the employment prospects in those domains in which the ESC Rouen specialises, particularly in its two areas of excellence : finance and international marketing.
Management teaching programme over 7 semesters, with a strong international dimension and adapted to the demands of each student. Recruitment after preparatory classes (ECRICOME entrance exam and UNIVERSA for international students) and as parallel admission after a course up to Bac+2 or Bac+3/4 (Tremplin 1 and Tremplin2). The Grande Ecole programme complies with the requirements of the Bologna Process.
