“
As a Spanish speaker, studying in three languages at a mainly
French-speaking business school seemed like an impossible
dream for me! Yet as soon as I arrived, my professors and
classmates helped me adapt and I quickly became fluent in
French. Today French is part of my daily life. I’m trilingual and
I’m really proud of all I’ve achieved.”

choose, you’ll appreciate our teaching
approaches. Our professors rely on
innovative, dynamic teaching methods
and classroom tools, from simulations
