Burgundy School of Business offered us high quality. It provided us a good infrastructure (Computer system, free internet connection, printing machines, student ID cards and a rich library). International office officers were very warm. They were also systematic and solution oriented. Instructors were empathic. The school has a very good location. Dijon is very near to Paris, Lyon, Besançon, Grenoble and the French speaking part of Switzerland. The business school had one-week holidays two times so we had time to travel and to relax. Diversity was very rich, I had friends from countries as diverse as Argentina, Senegal, Canada, Hungary, Morocco, Brazil, Russia, India and China. Thank you BSBU.
"Burgundy School of Business provides ample opportunity for the all round development of students, with the help of top faculty, infrastructure and student associations which are always there to help international students.
Dijon is a very calm city full of traditions which gives us lots of information about the French culture in general, and with its proximity to Paris, one gets to enjoy both living near the country in Burgundy as well as the city life of Paris."

"Four aspects of Burgundy School of Business really struk me when I arrived:
- The availability and helpfulness of professors and my fellow students
- The warm welcome we were given
- The overall organisation of the School (timetables e-learning, the library)
- The School's atmosphere (mixing work and pleasure)
"Bajo mi experiencia y punto de vista, Dijon es una ciudad pequeña poseedora de una bonita arquitectura. Sus habitantes son amables y están dispuestos a ayudarte y acogerte aun sin haberte conocido con anterioridad. La ESC Dijon es un buen lugar para el desarrollo profesional y personal, ya que a parte de las materias cursadas tu puedes relacionarte con personas de casi todas las nacionalidades, pudiendo así obtener un enriquecimiento cultural. Su personal es atento, y en lo que a mi concierne tengo mucho que agradecerles.
"After graduating in economics at EWHA Women's University, I decided to study in France in the field of marketing and communication. I had always been interested by studying there.
"When I arrived at Burgundy School of Business, I immediately appreciated the very international atmosphere on the campus. Before coming, I was afraid I would have difficulties being integrated. On the contrary, I met curious and open-minded individuals. As a matter of fact, I made many new friends, French as well as international students.
"For me, studying in France was the best option, mainly because of the affordable price of life and of studies compared to the UK or the USA. I wanted to study in a French Management School offering programmes in English, which would give me the opportunity to be immersed in a real international environment and to live in a pleasant city. Burgundy School of Business corresponded exactly to my expectations: the Master in Management is taught in English, many different nationalities are represented on the campus, and Dijon is a really nice city, very close to Paris. Furthermore, Burgundy School of Business is a modern school, with all the facilities, an easy access to Internet, and above all, very close to the city centre, which is really convenient.
"I am really satisfied with Burgundy School of Business. I study in English, which is convenient for me as I don't speak French very well. However, I attend the classes of French as Foreign Language as it's really helpful to have a little knowledge of the language.Marc FRIEDMAN MORATA, Spanish student,
"I first came as an exchange student. I enjoyed this experience and decided to extend my academic stay for one semester. I then enrolled as a Double degree student, as I was aware of the added value of an Master's degree delivered by a French Business School (Grande Ecole): German companies are aware of the French higher education system, and know well that Grande Ecoles leads the way to the French business elite.
"I decided to realise a double degree at Burgundy School of Business for two reasons: firstly, because it is one of the oldest partners of Pforzheim University. Secondly, because classes are taught in English, and my French level would not allow me to attend French taught classes.
The time here at Burgundy School of Business for one semester, has been a memorable experience. This chapter of my life will be really special, as I got the opportunity to work with many international students and French students in a popular business school. You learn everytime as you interact and do the classes. This is also special as this is the first time I have come outside India. As a part of my MBA from my home institution, IMT Ghaziabad, I am really thankful to my parents and professors who have given me this opportunity; it was like a dream come true.
Here, I got to learn from eminent professors in subjects of my interest, being a student of International business. The learning here becomes more important, when professors share their own experiences from their professional life. You get a different perspective and realize the things from a different angle. I know that I will be a different person when I will go back to India.
Another take away from Dijon would be my new network of friends, with whom I have many good memories. The night parties, the trip to Paris, the fun at the corridor during the break, the question session in the class with the professor, they are all amazing. French students are very helpful. They make you really comfortable at the school, and allow oneself to get mixed very easily.
France is a developed country and safe place for anyone to come here, so you will not find it difficult to start in a new country. Full points to the administration staff of international relations and ‘Melting Potes’ association, who have been really helpful in making our stay comfortable and easy.
In the end, I would recommend that you should come and study in ESC Dijon.
The atmosphere at the School is really friendly and welcoming; the personnel are always willing to help you sort out any academic or other problems you might have. The programme I followed, Master in Management Programme, was very interesting. What I liked in particular about the programme was the practical approach, the small class sizes, and the opportunity to interact and work with fellow students from all around the globe. Last but not least, the countless student societies and associations at the school make it easy for students to have a really good social life.
Burgundy School of Business over the past three months has become a home away from home for us. Our integration into the mainstream was fast and seamless, thanks to the endless efforts of the administrative staff and student bodies. Fun and excellence go hand in hand here, we recall with fondness both the hours spent learning in class and the hours spent partying with our classmates. We have learnt much from our French peers, their meticulousness and diligence are commendable. Professors with their novel industry oriented teaching plans, made the classes seem more like boardrooms where we discussed and developed strategies. The insightful French Culture and Society classes and the informative trip into the wine country were our windows into this beautiful country. We worked hard, but the fun we had more than made up for it. Cheers to BSBU…!
"Teachers at Burgundy School of Business really help me to connect what we learn to what happens in the business world. They explain clearly, are always patient and ready to help students. The many discussions in class, between the teachers and students or amongst students, are really helpful to understanding the course. Our school mates are very friendly and very kind. There are also many kinds of associations that organise a lot of activities to enrich our student life. And I can't forget the administrative staff who help solve all our academic and practical problems from studying to where to live.
