IESEG School of Management

One school - 2 campuses: Lille and Paris

In higher education as in business education, innovation and perseverance are essential development factors. In 1978, IESEG School of Management decided to opt for a 5 year cursus and so foreshadowed a model of education that is today acknowledged and in line with international standards. By adopting English as the sole language of instruction in 2002 for its Master’s programs, IESEG once again proved to be a precusor in this field and remains so today. It is the only French Business School to offer courses which are totally taught in English.

With 75% of international permanent professors, over 200 electives taught in English and 136 partner universities in 37 countries, the School ranks first for its international dimension. This year has been one of tremendous growth for the School: In September 2008, IESEG School of Management, whose historic campus is located in Lille, opened a second campus in Paris.

During the next academic year, the Paris campus will move into the Grande Arche de la Défense in the heart of the European business district. This is an exciting time to be part of IESEG School of Management. If the international dimension of our faculty and our programs corresponds to you and your own inspirations, we invite you to join us and make IESEG’s bright future, your own.
