École Supérieure des Sciences Commerciales d’Angers (ESSCA) is one of the top twenty business schools in France. Created in 1909 by the Dean of the Faculty of Law of the Catholic University of the West on the model of French Grandes Écoles, it was to become, over the course of the twentieth century, a highly selective graduate school in France and Europe.

The ESSCA Group conducts its activities by dividing its competencies into fields: logistics and trading strategy, finance/banks, social economics, automotive management, entrepreneurship and European integration. ESSCA has four campuses: ESSCA Angers, ESSCA Paris, ESSCA Budapest and ESSCA Shanghai.
