Life at IéSEG
Coming to iéseg as an International Student IÉSEG hosts an ever-growing number of international students who enrich the experience for all members of our community. We strive for excellence in education and when welcoming our international students. Our administrative staff and International Relations office provide IÉSEG students with support in every aspect of their academic and personal lives. A dedicated International Services team offers a wide range of resources to guide and support international students before, and after their arrival. An orientation program and comprehensive support services help them settle in, navigate essential administrative tasks and meet with other students. The team is the main contact point for international students for obtaining their residence permit, visa, accommodation, health insurance and opening a bank account. While IÉSEG does offer a limited amount of student housing, many students live in private residence halls or choose to find an apartment on their own. The International Services team provides full support to every student in finding comfortable accommodation on, or close to, the campus.
Campus Life Students at IÉSEG appreciate the balance between rigorous academic studies and the famous French way of life. Relaxing at an outdoor café, wandering through bookstores, shopping in local outdoor markets and more are all part of the benefits of living in France. The International Club is run by IÉSEG students on both campuses and brings together international students. It facilitates their integration by providing assistance with administration, organizes events, etc. IÉSEG Conseil is a “junior company” which is a professional link between students and companies. Students can gain valuable experience in paid work projects (market studies, management consultancy etc.) and benefit from the practical application of their studies. ENACTUS IÉSEG is part of an international organization based on a worldwide community of universities. This association is involved in a number of projects which are based on three pillars: entrepreneurship, action and community. The Sports Bureau organizes sporting activities and events such as regular training and/or tournaments. Sports include, for example, rugby, football, basketball, handball, dance, tennis and badminton. The Art Society seeks to promote and develop artistic and cultural activities at the School: music, theater, fashion, fine arts, cinema and comics.
