Welcome !
Dear incoming students,
The whole ESTA Team would be glad to welcome you during your academic exchange semester here in Belfort/ France. Created in 1986, ESTA aims at staying a small and family-style school where teachers can guide students, and where everybody knows each other. Today, we total about 400 students over five years. Our sales engineering education meets the requirements of both French and international companies. It is characterized by a multidisciplinary programme where students switch daily between technological, sales, marketing, management and other subjects.
Please find here additional information about our school, Belfort and the surrounding region, as well as some important dates and conditions you should look at.
Interested in studying at ESTA Belfort? In discovering the French culture? In making new friends? Just get in touch with us at erasmus[at]esta-groupe[dot]fr .
Yours sincerely
Laure VIELLARD
Director

Language skills
Some lectures are taught in English, others in French. Therefore, sufficient language skills in both languages are necessary.
ESTA does not require an English or French Language Proficiency test from exchange students, i.e. they do not have to submit a TOEFL, IELTS, DELF/DALF etc., score to be admitted to ESTA. Nevertheless, exchange students should have at least level B2 following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in both languages.
Tuition fees / Scholarships
There are no tuition fees for exchange students coming from ESTA partner institutions. However, you need to cover the costs of everyday living in France, including accommodation and travel costs.
Tuition fees can be applied to visiting students from European or international institutions without an Inter-Institutional Agreement.
ESTA does not offer scholarships for incoming students except those coming from our partner institutions USEK and ISG Tunis.
