During the year of study at ESSEC, Double Degree Students will study with 3rd year students in the Fall Semester and 4th Year students in the Spring Semester. Each semester of study is worth 30 ECTS credits and 60 ECTS must be validated over the two semesters.

Exchange students have to be nominated by one of our partner universities.

Full-time ESSEC Global BBA students take a course of study which represents 30 ECTS credits per semester. Full year exchange students do not qualify for the double degree. Therefore they do not have to fulfil any academic obligations to ESSEC Global BBA and can choose from the classes available during their chosen study period in accordance with the academic requirements of their home university.

Like the Double Degree students who stay at ESSEC Global BBA for the whole academic year, will study with 3rd year students in the Fall Semester and 4th Year students in the Spring Semester.
