France Business School (fBS) was a French Business School, founded in 2012 by a meanwhile cancelled merger of four French business schools:
- l'École supérieure de commerce et management (ESCEM) in Tours, Poitiers and Orléans
- l'École supérieure de commerce d'Amiens (ESC Amiens)
- l'École supérieure de commerce de Clermont (ESC Clermont)
- l'ESC Bretagne Brest
History[edit]
fBS was created in a period of merger between French Business Schools in order to achieve "critical size" at an international level.[1] It was officially announced on 22 May 2012.[2] fBS was finally announced as the merger of 4 pre-existing schools: l'École supérieure de commerce et de management (ESCEM) in Tours-Poitiers-Orléans, l'École supérieure de commerce d'Amiens (ESC Amiens), l'École supérieure de commerce de Clermont (ESC Clermont), l'École supérieure de commerce Bretagne Brest (ESC Bretagne Brest).
Type of recruitment[edit]
At its inception, fBS announced its withdrawal from the existing admission testing procedures (BCE, Ecricome) and introduced a different admission procedure from the traditional competitive entrance examination system by organising recruitment days called Talent Days[3] in about 20 French cities.
This recruitment targets different profiles:
- Students in the 2nd year of the preparatory track
- Holders of a 2-year undergraduate degree or currently enrolled as a Bachelor student
- Students with a 3-year undergraduate degree
- Graduates from an administrative or management degree programme
- Foreign students, holders of a Bachelor's degree
- Atypical profiles (students with "non-linear" backgrounds)
Location[edit]
Other sites have joined the campuses of the founding fBS schools (Amiens, Brest, Clermont-Ferrand, Orléans, Poitiers, Tours):
