IÉSEG School of Management

Our origins date back to 1964 in Lille where the historical campus was established. In 2008, we opened a second campus in Paris in the Grande Arche of La Défense. Since then, we have achieved the ranking of a top 10 French Business School as well as the prestigious accolade of becoming a Grande École – one of the most respected and academically rigorous higher education programs in the world. The IÉSEG culture is born out of a passion for progress and ability, meaning that we focus all our energy on identifying the true potential from each student. We are proud of our unorthodox approach to business education and its ability to instill the key values of accomplishment, responsibility, integrity, solidarity, engagement – abilities that have been at the heart of our school since the very beginning.
