ELITE ATHLETES & PERFORMANCE ARTISTS
ICD offers special study arrangements for elite athletes and performance artists. Each case being specific, we examine individual needs separately together with the athlete or artist concerned.
Special study arrangements generally include:
- The possibility of staggering the period of study over time,
- Making available an academic coach to supervise the student’s progress on the course,
- Support from a nominated student-tutor, who takes notes in the case of the elite student being absent and relays important information about work or assignments to be done, etc.
- The possibility of sports scholarships based on performance criteria
SUPPORT FOR DISABLED STUDENTS
ICD works closely with HAND’IGS, Groupe IGS’ disabled student help unit to facilitate the enrolment of students with disabilities.
The need for support and adjustments is examined on a case to case basis. Additionally, as part of the ERASMUS charter, ICD gives special attention to encouraging the international mobility of disabled students.

JUNIOR PROGRAM
TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR STUDIES AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, NOTHING BEATS TRYING THINGS OUT FOR YOURSELF!
ICD’s Junior programme is an innovative and fun learning initiative that allows you to discover what higher education study is really about in order to help you make the right choices and understand the sales, marketing, business development and events management professions.
Each ICD Junior Programme session is stand-alone and entirely free of charge. Every Wednesday for 4 hours, the programme allows you to gain an insight into the world of work and develops your team-working skills.
The school offers us the opportunity to discover new international markets thanks to the different semesters we spend abroad. From January to May 2018, I chose to do the Intercultural Management Semester (SMI). It was a really worthwhile experience, which involved us exploring different kinds of business such as the American, Chinese or Vietnamese markets, whilst at the same time discovering the culture of these countries. In addition, it was also a great opportunity for us to develop our international professional network and launch our graduate careers by being able to contact some of the leading business figures.
