INTERNATIONAL IMMERSION

KICK-OFF 2024 IN MILAN

The Kick-Off 2024 in Milan marks the beginning of the academic journey for our first-year students with an optional two-week international pre-entry seminar. Sponsored by corporate partners, this seminar allows students to experience the unique culture and lifestyle of a dynamic city. The program includes academic lectures, professional conferences, networking opportunities, cultural visits, and excursions. Milan, with its rich cultural heritage and vibrant student life, is the perfect place to start this new chapter. Students will explore historical landmarks, enjoy the fashion and design districts, and immerse themselves in the Italian lifestyle, all while building strong connections with their peers.

AN INTERNATIONAL IMMERSION FROM THE FIRST YEAR

International immersion begins in the first year with a semester at Coventry University, an enriching experience that immerses students in Anglo-Saxon culture. In the second year, students enhance their language skills and explore international geopolitical, economic, and legal subjects, capped by a 3 to 4-month internship in France or abroad. The third year intensifies this international dimension with a semester or a full year at one of the 80+ partner universities, allowing students to immerse themselves in diverse academic, cultural, and linguistic environments.

AN INTERNATIONAL PATHWAY

The Franco-Chinese track at ICD Business School, established in 2005, perfectly illustrates the school’s commitment to internationalization. This unique track prepares students for international careers in commerce, procurement, and distribution through deep linguistic and cultural immersion in China. Intensive Chinese courses from the first year, followed by full immersion in the 3rd and 4th years at Fudan University in Shanghai and Beijing Foreign Studies University in Beijing, enable students to develop advanced proficiency in Chinese and English. This training is complemented by specialized courses in international trade, intercultural management, and Chinese economics.
