The Classe Préparatoire EC Option Economie is a State-controlled preparatory class.
As a recognised and validated first cycle of a 5-year post-Baccalauréat course, the Classe Préparatoire EC prepares students, over a period of 2 years, for the entrance exams to the various business schools registered as Grandes Ecoles *.
After a first semester of transition from High school, the first year aims at consolidating knowledge but also at acquiring the working methods, reflexes and new knowledge which are essential to pass the competitive exams.
The second year offers students the opportunity to implement what they have learned, to continue acquiring knowledge and, through training for the tests, to face the competitive examinations with confidence.
The Classe Préparatoire EC is a privileged preparation environment and opens access to the best ranked schools. It also ensures the students an enhanced path within these schools thanks to the skills, know-how and character it develops.
Sought profiles: ambitious, dynamic, determined, curious and passionate about the contemporary world.
The Grandes Ecoles de Commerce et de Gestion generally provide a 3-year course which allows students to consider a very wide range of careers in the field of business and company management, in the administrative, commercial and financial branches: company directors, branch managers, personnel managers, product managers, legal or tax advisers, chartered accountants, human resources managers, entrepreneurs etc…
They can also lead to management with a non-profit environment or research in the field of management. Studies can increasingly be combined with double degrees in partnership with Universities and necessarily include an international dimension.
