"Ouverture et Talents" Initiative
The initiative "Ouverture et Talents" is aimed at candidates facing health-related or socio-economic challenges.
An initiative enabling candidates to join EM Strasbourg’s Programme Grande École directly after completing the three-year Bachelor’s program.
To be considered, candidates must first submit an application, which will be reviewed by the school. They must then take the ECRICOME Bachelor entrance exam and attend a dedicated motivation interview for the initiative "Ouverture et Talents".
Social Inclusion Track
10 places available: candidates’ eligibility is assessed on the basis of social criteria. Once admitted, students are exempt from tuition fees throughout their five years of study.
Disability Track
10 places available: candidates’ eligibility is determined after review of the supporting documents issued by the MDPH (French departmental office for people with disabilities). Successful candidates benefit from the same exemption of tuition fees as candidates in the Social Inclusion Track, subject to conditions.
