FRANCE: Strasbourg
EM Strasbourg School of Management
Fall/Spring Semester Program
PROGRAM LOCATION
Strasbourg is at the same time a model city of rich culture and an academic center of great stature. Ideally located in the center of Europe, it is easy to explore numerous countries while livining in Strasbourg. The city is a "university town" in the eastern part of France hosting 48,000 students (about 20% of Strasbourg's population). Approximately 20 percent come from countries other than France. This means Strasbourg attracts the second most exchange students in France after Paris.
Strasbourg also hosts numerous important European Institutions including:
The European Parliament
The Council of Europe
The European Court of Human Rights
These three institutions and the proximity of the city with several countries make Strasbourg a very cosmopolitan city and one of the capitals of Europe. With the high speed train (TGV), Strasbourg is now only a bit more than two hours from Paris, and in two hours or less by train or car, one can reach Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium and of course Germany (across one of the city bridges).
The month of December is the most busy time of year because of the famous Christmas markets which people from all over Europe come to see.

Students will directly enroll at the Ecole de Management Strasbourg which is a part of part of the University of Strasbourg, France's largest multi-disciplinary university. While more than 40,000 students attend the University of Strasbourg, only about 1,500 students are enrolled at the EM Strasbourg Business School.
Students who attend the EM Strasbourg Business School may take business courses in English as well as cultural courses taught in basic French designed for non-native French speakers.

EXCURSIONS & ACTIVITIES
Extra-curricular activities are an integral part of the EM Strasbourg Business School program and provide students with the chance to express themselves fully outside the classroom or lecture-hall context. Extra-curricular activities in the EM Strasbourg Spirit benefit from teacher backing and allow students to work together (and individually) and test out their professional, social and relational abilities within team-based projects. The EM Strasbourg Spirit encompasses all the Programme Grande Ecole associations and covers a wide range of activities, stretching well beyond the walls of the campus and including humanitarian aid, editing the Strassbuch (the indispensable yearly guide to what's on in Strasbourg), managing the associations' portal and taking part in some of the large choice of sports and cultural activities.
