École Supérieure des Sciences Commerciales d’Angers (ESSCA) is one of the top twenty business schools in France. Created in 1909 by the Dean of the Faculty of Law of the Catholic University of the West on the model of French Grandes Écoles, it was to become, over the course of the twentieth century, a highly selective graduate school in France and Europe.

A 100-year-old institution, ESSCA ranks amongst the top business schools in France due to the strong and innovative curriculum offered. ESSCA equips students and managers for a successful and sustainable career while taking fully into account the human and social dimensions of a globalized world.

The ESSCA Group conducts its activities by dividing its competencies into fields of excellence: logistics and trading strategy, finance/banks, social economics, automotive management, entrepreneurship and European integration.

This is achieved through high-level academic and professional management programs, developed by research-active faculty, a strong student mentoring system and respect for the traditional humanist values on which the school was founded.
