ADVICE ON THE CHOICE OF COURSES AND SPECIALITIES

General Baccalaureate: the speciality courses to successfully enter and study at ESC Amiens

As you know, at the start of the 2019 school year, the ES, L and S series will be discontinued. Your course will then be made up of common teachings, speciality teachings and optional teachings.

The 5 speciality courses expected by ESC Amiens

history, geography, geopolitics and political science,
foreign languages, literatures and cultures,
mathematics,
digital and computer science,
economic and social sciences.
You will have to choose 3 specialties in Première and 2 specialties in Terminale.

Tip: you can mix the 5 specialities together! Studies at ESC Amiens cover a wide range of fields such as communication, marketing, international trade, finance, logistics, human resources, sales, etc. You will have a good basis to make your personal project evolve in the right direction!

Mix N°1 : I am more into eco-sciences and maths with a taste for history, geography, geopolitics and politics.
Decoding: 2 years to be operational from the beginning of the courses at ESC Amiens thanks to economic sciences and a good level in mathematics (useful for managing a company, a project, a communication campaign budget, etc.). The other subjects bring me a nice open-mindedness and a good general culture!
