The French Training Session (also called FTS) is offered to all new international students entering ESSEC. It takes place in September only and is optional for exchange and double degree students (although strongly recommended for double degree students who will need or want to do an internship in France).
You will have 3 hours of class every day, from Monday to Friday and will also be able to take part in some cultural activities.
The course is free of charge, however, there will be a small participation fee for the cultural activities.
Several levels are open, from complete beginners to advanced.
The 2025 session will run from August 26 to September 18 but students will have to arrive on campus on August 26 to take an oral test (mandatory).
