Founded in Lille in 1964, IESEG now splits its teaching between the Lille campus near the Catholic University and a second campus at Paris-La Défense. Most master's programmes are taught in English, and many of the faculty come from outside France. The Grande École programme is the core. Specialised MSc degrees and an English-taught bachelor's sit alongside it.

The Lille campus is in the Vauban quarter, near the Citadelle park and the Catholic University. The Paris campus sits under the Grande Arche in the La Défense business district.
Lille is cheaper and friendlier on a student budget, with student bars along Rue Masséna. Paris rents are far higher, so many La Défense students live in the western suburbs.

A long-stay student visa (VLS-TS). For most nationalities the process starts on Campus France's Études en France platform, then moves to the consulate with proof of funds and accommodation.
The Master in Management, MSc programmes in finance, marketing and international business, and the Bachelor in International Business are popular. Master's entry needs a relevant bachelor's degree, IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 90, and an interview.
IESEG awards tuition scholarships to international students on academic merit, usually covering part of the fee. You're considered at admission, though some rounds have their own application.
