Program Location

The “Grandes Ecoles” are unique to France. They were created in the late 18th century in order to offer outstanding scientific education to the country’s future engineers. LaSalle Beauvais, founded in 1854, belongs to this tradition. Studying on our campus will not only give you access to excellence in education; you will also have the opportunity to live in the country that invented “savoir-vivre”, the art of living well! The Picardy region, home of LaSalle Beauvais, is well known for its beautiful villages and its inspiring Gothic cathedrals. Known for its gastronomy, wines and cheeses, France is a large country of amazing geographical variety. You will meet people who are proud of their cultural heritage, their lovely countryside, and their quiet towns and fine restaurants.
