associations projects

The principle of projects. The association network in a Management school is of utmost importance: the students keep the school alive. At ESC PAU, work in associations is in integral part of the educational project. It gives students the opportunity to apply all the concepts of management they have studied in class. Associations are run, managed and developed just like real companies, with their players and their financing.

However, everyone is free. Free to be a member of one or several associations. Free to create a new one to fully live out a passion or to complete a personal project that is dear to them. Being involved in an association is an important criterion that recruiters look for. It is the proof of your collaborative know-how and your ability to become involved in a project, to handle responsibility. Students’ activities in their associations will be mentioned on their diploma supplement.
