History

Established in 1871 in the then-vibrant industrial city of Rouen, it is the second business school to be created in France.[1]

Groupe ESC Rouen was formed in 1996, gathering together four independent schools, all managed and financed mainly by the Rouen Chamber of Commerce and Industry. These schools are ESC Rouen, the leading school of the group, IFI, ISPP and ECAL - each school having a distinctive mission and student base.

ESC Rouen is a founding member of the Chapitre des Ecoles du Management de la Conférence des Grandes Ecoles (Chapter of Management Schools belonging to the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles). The school is also a member of EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) and AACSB (International Association for Management Education).

ESC Rouen received EQUIS accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development for a second time in May 2005. Later, the school has received AACSB and AMBA accreditations.

Training offered

Graduate programme (Flagship Diploma)

The Grande Ecole Programme is organised in two sections (Bachelor and Master), and is perfectly adapted to international mobility. Its mission is to receive a growing number of foreign students. The Masters section, covering four semesters, includes one semester of internship and a study period in one of our partner universities. It ends up with a ‘major’, which is a genuine interface with the international job market. The ‘European tracks’ which are one semester longer, allow students to study in three or four different European Union countries. They widen the horizons and the employment prospects in those domains in which the ESC Rouen specialises, particularly in its two areas of excellence : finance and international marketing.

Management teaching programme over seven semesters, with a strong international dimension and adapted to the demands of each student.

Recruitment after preparatory classes (ECRICOME entrance exam and UNIVERSA for international students) and as parallel admission after a course up to Bac+2 or Bac+3/4 (Tremplin 1 and Tremplin2).

The Grande Ecole programme complies with the requirements of the Bologna Process.

Undergraduate programmes

IFI (created in 1986) offers a 4-year programme specialising in international business. This leads to a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, with a specialisation in either International Marketing or International Management. IFI has the highest accreditation of the Ministry of Education, which is called the "visa".

ISPP (created in 1977) offers a 3-year Bachelor of Arts programme in Management (with specialisations in Sales Management, Tourism, Logistics and Retailing). ISPP has the highest accreditation of the Ministry of Education ("visa").

Postgraduate programmes

International partners

The agreements between Groupe ESC Rouen and its 171 partner universities offer students the possibility of studying in universities and business schools.

These agreements allow our students to spend one or two semesters in one of these universities. The grades obtained are credited towards their degree. Each year, 100% of the IFI students and about 90% of ESC Rouen students study abroad.

In exchange, Rouen welcomes nearly 370 students from its partner universities onto its different programmes and generally stay between 3 and 9 months. These students also have the possibility of continuing their graduate studies in order to complete the full ESC-Programme and obtain the Diplôme de Grande Ecole (Master of Science in Management).

Groupe ESC Rouen also offers European Management Seminars which are customized intensive management seminars on "Doing Business in the European Union". These seminars are organised at the Undergraduate, Graduate and Post-Graduate level (Full-Time MBA and Executive MBA).
