Internships with an international dimension
By vocation, ESCE favours internships abroad .
All internships must have an international dimension, even those carried out in France.
It is essential to understand and grasp the different practices, ways of thinking and organisations in different countries.
These courses are also an excellent way to improve your language skills and acquire very specific vocabulary.
build your career path
Whether as part of the Grande École Program or the International Bachelor’s program, internships are very important for students and the development of their career plans .
These experiences allow us to put into practice all the knowledge we’ve acquired in class and to develop our skills, with a single goal in mind: to help our students find the job and sector of their dreams at the end of their course!
