Applying to ESSEC Business School: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into ESSEC Business School?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the ESSEC Business School programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the school asks for, and submit the file on time. We then follow the application with ESSEC Business School and tell you what the school asks for next. If the school invites you to an interview, we prepare you for it. ESSEC Business School makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to ESSEC Business School need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Private schools such as ESSEC Business School usually add an interview, and for a Master’s they look at how your first degree connects to the subject. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
What English level do I need for ESSEC Business School?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, ESSEC Business School asks for TOEFL iBT 95 or TOEIC 850, depending on the programme. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to ESSEC Business School?
ESSEC Business School sets its own dates for each intake, and popular programmes can fill before the final deadline. Applying early gives you more choice and leaves time for your student visa.
Which programmes at ESSEC Business School are taught in English?
