The Goodman Exchange office has a total of eight partner schools in beautiful, historic France. This week we will take a closer look at two of those amazing partner schools that can give you the experience of a lifetime.
Toulouse Business School
Located in the very south of France, in the heart of a city called Toulouse is the reputable Toulouse Business School. The University offers a vibrant learning and social environment in a cosmopolitan and dynamic city known in France as “la ville rose”. TBS has three international accreditations and is also internationally recognized by The Financial Times as being ranked in the Top 30 business schools in Europe.
Toulouse is a very attractive place for students as it is the top city for Employment Development and is also #1 city for crucial industries. With three campuses located internationally, students who attend TBS meet a variety of students from around the globe and get the opportunity to network with these students. Toulouse Business School also offers short-term summer programs for exchange students as well.
IÉSEG School of Management
Next we take you north to Lille, France and the campus of the highly regarded IÉSEG School of Management. IÉSEG is ranked in the Top 10 business schools in France and is ranked 6 in academic excellence. This is a perfect choice for students wishing to strengthen their French language or to simply immerse themselves into the language as IÉSEG offers free French language courses to all exchange students.
Programs at IÉSEG are taught completely in English and there is a total mix of French and international students taking the classes – allowing students to meet a variety of other backgrounds and cultures. Lille is also known as the “capital of Flanders” – a young, dynamic, and vibrant city that is the fourth largest in France and is located near the border with Belgium. IÉSEG also has a beautiful campus in Paris, France – the city of light, art, architecture, fashion, and arguably the largest business district in Europe.
Why France?
Studying in France will allow you to experience living and learning in one of the most culturally rich countries in the world. It is centrally located in Europe and holds some of the best business schools in the world. Students love France for the numerous adventures it has to offer, all at student-friendly costs. Most museums are free for students including the Louvre in Paris – just show them your card!
Why go on exchange?
It doesn’t cost you anything extra! You pay the same tuition you would at Brock, housing is in the same price range (depending on your preference), and food is even known to be cheaper in some parts. You and your peers are all graduating with the same degree and as globalization keeps growing and becoming integral to business practices – having international experience is great way to stand out!
