Student life

Student experience

Because these years go beyond the academic, the school organises a full student life: cohorts small enough for everyone to be known, voluntary engagement built into the first year, and the possibility of studying abroad.

Known, not numbered

The difference students coming from public universities mention most often is group size. Teachers know first names, notice when someone is struggling and can act on it.

Each programme has its academic contact, a named person for questions of organisation as well as personal difficulties.
