Looking for course descriptions via our database
The syllabus database (accessible via the link below) contains all the course modules, taught at ESSCA over the academic year 2011-2012. Once you access the database you can choose to filter through all the available modules using the drop down menus on the page. Each one of these menus relates to specific search criteria:
You can search for course modules via the following:
the site/campus where you wish to study :Angers, Paris, Budapest or Shanghai;
the language in which you course module is taught;
the semester in which a module is taught (ESSCA numbers its semesters from
1-10 depending on the year of study and the academic term, as illustrated in the
diagram below : Fall : Sept-Dec, Spring : Jan-April/May)


Other information that is provided:
the academic department which is in charge of a specific module (FIN = Finance,
MGT = Management, MKG = Marketing, ENV = Corporate Environment, INT =
International Studies, LAN = Languages);
the course catalogue code. This code is always composed of three letters
(indicating the academic department) and three figures, the first of which indicates
the year of study (e.g. MKG250 = a 2nd-year marketing class) ;
the exact title of the course ;
the number of teaching hours per each module;
the number of ECTS credits awarded.
all courses available to exchange students are marked: Ech
We strongly advise that you choose modules which are taught to the same year group (e.g. only to students in their third year, fourth year etc.) This avoids timetable and exam clashes. Please also note that certain modules are still yet to be validated, which means that the database will be updated regularly, and some classes may be prone to changes. The detailed syllabi, with further information on course content, lecture sessions and assessment type are not publicly available. Students and study abroad coordinators from ESSCA’s partner universities may contact the International Office for more information.
Course descriptions are available in both French and English for all courses.
