Institution Info
The primary mission of ESC Saint-Etienne (SAINT-ETIENNE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT - SESOM) is to provide its students with the highest quality business education supported by an emphasis on research and teaching excellence. The Saint Etienne School of Management aims at offering an ever increasing number of undergraduate and graduate programs, building on its strengths in the areas of entrepreneurship, design, purchasing and supply-chain management.
Recognizing that today’s business leaders must have a truly global outlook, ESC Saint-Etienne strives to broaden its students’ horizons both intellectually and professionally, through opportunities to work and study abroad while enrolled at the Saint-Etienne School of Management.
ESC Saint-Etienne’s mission of excellence extends to its commitment to the business community of France. Working closely with local businesses, the School provides skilled managers and management training adapted to local needs and attracts talented students from all over the world to the region.
In the coming years, ESC Saint-Etienne will continue to ensure the quality of both the academic and applied skills of its graduates while playing an active role in the enhancement of business education.
We are pleased that you are planning to come and study at the SESOM and hope very much that you will have a worthwhile and happy stay here in Saint-Etienne.
If you have not stayed in France before, you will be meeting new people in surroundings and with customs, and perhaps with approaches to study and teaching, that are not the same as those you are used to.
