Westminster Business School gives students the opportunity to study at prestigious business school in Paris

On November 23 a delegation from WBS, led by the new Head of College and Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Christos Kalantaridis and joined by Dr Karen Jackson, College Director of International Development, and Dr Gheorghe Multescu, Senior Lecturer in the School of Applied Management, visited the business school in Paris.

Hosted by Dean of ISC Paris Jean-Christophe Hauguel, the Westminster colleagues signed two new agreements. The first, a study abroad agreement, which allows Westminster to welcome ISC Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students for part of their studies, and the second, an agreement allowing an exchange involving ISC MSc students and WBS undergraduate students to study in Paris for a semester, a year or for summer school. 

Created in 1963, ISC is a private business school with nearly 2,000 students from 54 countries. The main campus is in Paris, with a second in Orléans. The ISC Paris Grande École is in the top 20 business schools in France and belongs to the Conférence des Grandes Écoles, a French national institute that provides research, accreditation and representation across French engineering and business schools. 

This is not Westminster’s first collaboration with the University, as an agreement was signed previously giving ISC undergraduate students the opportunity to complete their final year at Westminster, giving them a double degree upon graduation. 

About the partnership Professor Kalantaridis said: “This agreement marks an important milestone in the development of our partnership. Students are central to everything we do at Westminster - this will offer our students the opportunity to study abroad in Paris, and for the first time, they will have the option to attend a summer school in France as an exchange student.”
