The Leadership and Diversity Chair offers a particular learning experience in view of its audience, principals, and originality. Each year in the fall, the chair recruits between 20-25 students from a wide range of origins and backgrounds. It fully embraces the international dimension and is one of the few chairs at Essec that takes on international students and is run in English. We accept ASTs (students admitted on the basis of a previous university diploma), ASCs (students who passed the French “concours”), and Advanced Masters students.. In an effort to further expand the diversity of our students, in 2014-15, the chair began recruiting Masters students partner programs in the University of Cergy for a total of 12 students since 2014-15.
