In this context, we help our students find their professional path according to who they are, their aspirations, in a sector (traditional, new economy, market, non-market) or a form of activity (salaried or entrepreneurial) that corresponds to them.
For 5 years, ESTICE students are involved in an integrated and progressive program. They are accompanied by a multidisciplinary teaching teammade up of professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, and international researchers.
