Immersion Days

What is an immersion day at Excelia Business School?

An immersion day at Excelia Business School is a day spent on a campus of our business school to experience, from the inside, the daily life of a student. You attend a real day of classes, you feel the energy of campus life and you talk with students and graduates who have been through it before you. This day is aimed in particular at those who already have Excelia Business School in mind and want to picture themselves there before applying.

You are accompanied all day, right through to the evening, by ambassadors: Excelia students who introduce the school to sixth-form students and their families. They are the ones who answer your questions throughout the day, in their own words.

Worried about spending a day being sold the school? Immersion works the other way round: you come to attend a real day, talk with students and graduates, and form your own opinion, without anyone trying to convince you other than through what you experience and feel for yourself.

What's on the programme for an immersion day

An immersion day at Excelia Business School plunges you straight into the life of a campus, with no staging. You don't visit the school from the outside: you experience it from within, as if you were already part of it. Five highlights make up this day:

• A real day of classes, to feel the pace and teaching approach of a course at Excelia Business School
• The energy of student society life, experienced first-hand in conversations between classes
• An overview of internships, professional experience and international stays, which shows all the opportunities a course opens up beyond the classroom
• Conversations with students and graduates, who answer your questions based on what they have experienced
• A tour of the campus and the city with ambassadors who know both like locals and help you form a concrete picture of your daily life if you choose this campus

These ambassadors are Excelia Business School students who present our business school to sixth-form students and their families, as part of their involvement in student society life at Excelia Business School. They accompany you personally throughout the day, right through to the evening, and remain available for all your questions, from course content to student society life. This day gives you a real taste of the life of an Excelia Business School student.

Meals are provided* during your immersion day, giving you time to keep talking without leaving the campus.

* Conditions specific to each event, by programme and by campus.

Why experience an immersion day before choosing your school?

A brochure describes a programme; an immersion day lets you picture yourself in a classroom, a corridor, a conversation between students. This difference is what helps confirm a choice, or realise that another path would suit you better, before committing to an application to Excelia Business School. It answers the simplest and most decisive question: can you really see yourself studying here?

To get the most out of it, pay attention to what you feel more than what you are shown: the way students work together, the pace of a day of classes, the atmosphere between two lectures. Ask your questions directly to the students and graduates you meet: they answer based on what they experience, not a prepared script. At the end of the day, note down your first impressions: this initial feeling often counts for as much as the answers you get.

Haven't chosen your course yet? That's not a barrier to coming: immersion is precisely what helps you sense whether a course suits you, once you're on campus. If you're still torn between several paths, a short careers guidance quiz helps you identify which course to try first, before or after your day. Then find the details of each course on the Excelia Business School programmes page.

Immersion day or open day: which should you choose?

Choose the immersion day to experience a real day of classes and campus life, when a school already appeals to you and you want to picture yourself there before applying. The open day serves a different moment: it lets you discover a campus and its programmes, meeting the teams, when you're still comparing several schools.
