Since its creation in 1919, Clermont School of Business has been recognized for the quality of its training, its diplomas and its support in order to train its students, as well as managers and business executives, to the highest level of competence.
The six areas of expertise at the School are centered around a common and central theme: sustainable management. These areas represent Clermont School of Business’s commitment to training leaders who can address current environmental, social, and economic challenges.
Each area is integrated into several programs offered in both initial and continuing education, providing comprehensive and relevant pathways that meet the diverse needs of students, learners, and businesses.
Clermont School of Business together with the University of Clermont Auvergne (IAE Auvergne – UCA) is a co-supervisor and co-founder of “CleRMa”, a joint research laboratory in Management Sciences (originally created under the name CRCGM in 2008 and renamed Clermont Recherche Management or CleRMa, in November 2018). It is labelled as a host team, EA 3849, and brings together teacher-researchers in management sciences in the city of Clermont.
In concrete terms, it is the main research laboratory in management sciences for the school’s teacher-researchers. It has 140 members, including more than 70 teacher-researchers (19 of whom are qualified to direct research) and 40 PhD students.
Clermont School of Business CareerLab, headed by the school’s Corporate Relations Department, plays an active role in the most important stages of an ESC student’s academic-life and career training at all academic levels.
Elected after several weeks of “campaigns” (generally in March), the Student Office is responsible for facilitating communication and exchanges between students, associations and the School’s administration.
At the heart of student life, it ensures cohesion between the different cohorts and brings students together around events throughout the year: the traditional WEI (Integration Weekend), the Christmas Gala, Fusion, as well as numerous afterworks and activities that punctuate School life.
