About Excelia Group, La Rochelle

Excelia Group, La Rochelle, began its journey in 1988 with support from the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Its development continued in 2020 when it incorporated ESCEM, a business school originally formed in 1998 through the unification of two separate institutions in Poitiers and Tours. Excelia Group operates primarily from its main campus in La Rochelle, while also maintaining additional campuses in Tours, Paris, and Orléans. The Tours location provides a wide range of specialised Degree options in a wide range of fields. Both the Paris and Orléans campuses are particularly focused on delivering high-quality Business Programs. The campus is home to approximately 6,500 students, with a strong global footprint reflected in its international community.
