I chose EPSCI because it has an excellent reputation taking about academic content and international experience and also because it is situated far enough of Paris to concentrate during into the studies during the week and to have fun and friends always.

EPSCI really gives you the opportunity to live an international experience. There are students coming from all over the world. That makes a really pleasant and easy to make friends and the teachers and the system are already used to the international needs and behaviours.

The courses I took in EPSCI were really useful and excellently performed. The academic system in this institution gives a complete experience they are practical too and in most of the cases we had team work which gives you the opportunity to make more friends and have the approach into many diffent cultures and points of view.

EPSCI teaching is very rich because they have professors coming from many countries, so behind they have a very good level of teaching also they rich they teaching by giving different cultures points of view. They are also really kind and considered with international students.

At the beginning I was afraid about taking courses in French but after I met the professors I realized the help you a lot. They used some back support to make easier the understanding and also they are really kind and helps you in the case you don’t understand a concept or word.

I really loved EPSCI ambience, they have many student associations. They are really involved in their roles with the associations and the make excellent parties and events. Being EPSCI means having a real, fun and rich international experience.

It is also important to mention that they have an association to welcome all the international students and it makes easier to start feeling like home and make friends by providing a warm welcome and useful information about practical life in EPSCI and Paris.

Sorry I only went to parties and I already mention.

The Accommodation at EPSCI is excellent, they residences are excellent. They have enough space and services in order to make students spend a really good time while staying with them.

I strongly recommend staying in the residences they are very close to the school they have the transportation to school (for free) and it is an excellent opportunity to don’t feel alone, make many friends and always have fun.

If I had to opportunity to choose again about my studies abroad I definitely would chose EPSCI it fulfilled my expectations. It is a real international experience.

In 2004, after studying at the HES Amsterdam School of Economics for 2 years, I decided to move to Cergy for my Double Degree. This choice was based on my past academic performance and my desire to be able to present myself in the future with a degree from both my home school and EPSCI (groupe ESSEC).

The obtention of the Double Degree proves a students desire to obtain the maximum amount of credit for a year-long program abroad. An advantage of EPSCI is the resources the school has to offer to students participating in their programs.

The school offers a respectable level of education and helps a student develop him-herself for the future. The classes at EPSCI bring a new dimension into knowledge attained earlier in that there is a large international group with interesting insights.

After obtaining my double degree I will be moving on into an MBA degree and/or a geopolitical masters degree.

EPSCI has been the opportunity to make an enriching experience in France. I have not only got the chance to know the French culture and its language, but also the culture of the other international students, which come all around the world. There is a wide variety of courses,

in English and in French, including cultural and professional ones. This has left me calm, because I am having the opportunity to study in English, and at the time, I strenghten little by little my French.

It has been very interesting to change the method of studies I had in my current university. Sincerely, this has helped me to open my eyes and to complement my program of studies. For example, here I became aware of how much a person can and should learn by doing good stages and appenticeships, and the importance of having them.

About the proceedings to enter EPSCI, they are all easy to follow, thanks to the help of the International Students Department and all the clear and written instructions they send us by mail.

Also, we receive help from the World Wide Welcome association, which welcomes us very kindly. A point that I cannot avoid to say is that the student life in EPSCI is great; every week the school counts with parties and lots of different activities, since sports, cultural events, movies in the school... all and even more than a student can expect that would be in its university.

EPSCI is a wonderful experience!
