The 2-step registration process:
The composition of the application file
The file for the admissions to the 2nd year of the Grande Ecole Program must consist of the following documents:
- copy of your identity document
- a copy of your baccalaureate diploma (if obtained) or other diplomas
- a copy of your transcripts for your last two years
- a CV
- a cover letter
the individual interview
The interview takes place before a jury composed of two people: a jury president (professor or member of the management) and a graduate of the school. The interview is conducted in French.
Jury members want to understand what motivates you to join ESCE Paris or Lyon. It’s important to have thought beforehand about the experiences that enhance your personality, your project, your tastes and your aspirations. Think about a career plan that is consistent with the school, your experiences and your ambitions.
You will also exchange on international news.
Preparing for your admission interview: 5 steps to success
1. Find out more about the school
Find out more about the course, existing associations and 3rd year specialisations. The idea is to be able to show during the interview that you are interested in ESCE and the Bachelor Programme in particular.
2. Prepare for introduction
In addition to a formal introduction (who you are, what you’ve done before, why you want to join the school), the introduction should direct the conversation towards what you want to talk about. The purpose of the oral is to get to know you better.
3. Highlight your extracurricular projects and hobbies
These are the elements that will make the difference. If you are passionate about an author or a musician, say so. In the same way, promote your projects carried out outside of school. The ESCE values enterprising and committed candidates.
4. Keep up to date with the news
Current affairs questions are a way of testing a candidate’s openness to the world. We must pay attention to economic, social, political news and especially to international news.
5. Pay attention to your non-verbal communication
Look your interlocutors in the eye, stand up straight, smile… in short, pay attention to the image you send back during the interview. Professional attire is recommended.
