Excelia’s DNA
Ethics and CSR are powerful features of Excelia, which the group continues to pursue through innovative projects that convey a sense of purpose, and through courses that are common to all its programmes. With the launch of its Climacité© initiative, the group has strengthened its commitment to the community by offering students the opportunity to uphold the values of Excelia through a project with an environmental focus, thereby contributing to protecting our planet. Its objective is to raise awareness, educate and train students in the issues of environmental protection and climate change. The Humacité© initiative is a testament to the human values that our students share, by living a unique human experience, helping people in need, in France or abroad. With activities involving social wellbeing, support, coordination, training or education, among other things this project enables students to develop their sense of commitment, their ability to be an actor of change and their capacity to adapt.
An INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK... it’s second nature!
Developing an international outlook is an essential element of all Excelia’s programmes. Taking a different view of the world and opening up to others is a fundamental principle at Excelia. This is why each student has the opportunity of an international experience. Beyond learning a language and developing intercultural skills, experiences abroad enable students to learn to adapt, to become more independent and responsible, as well as more flexible and mobile. It is also a great way to increase resistance to stress and to improve team spirit! There are several possibilities available to students: international academic expatriation for a semester, or even a year, in one of our many partner universities; opting for a double qualification and a ‘multi-campus’ programme; international internships; humanitarian projects… just a few of the educational experiences available abroad!
