To enable our students to acquire skills that are valid all over the world, we have developed an international strategy that we invite you to discover now.
Our international strategy
Although perfumery in France is a flourishing market, today it would be a shame not to take advantage of international openings to seek out new customers or improve skills.
We’re obviously thinking of China, which is hungry for French luxury products. But also our historical trading partners (our European neighbors and the USA, among others).
And let’s not forget that the future of perfumery will surely be online. Which opens the door to new markets.
With that in mind, our school decided to implement a truly international strategy right from the start.

Why is it interesting for students to move abroad?
Nowadays, all top schools offer their students the chance to go abroad for at least one work placement. And students are always delighted to take part in this kind of experience (for a variety of reasons).
Most of them talk about discovering a new culture and opening up to other ways of life. Going abroad is also a way of practicing a foreign language in total immersion.
What’s more, on a resume, having specific knowledge of a strategic country (culture, language, etc.) is a real plus.
We mentioned China in our introduction. If you want to work in the luxury goods industry, speaking Chinese and knowing the consumer habits of its inhabitants can greatly enhance the value of your resume in the eyes of certain employers. The same applies to English, the international language.
Not forgetting, of course, that traveling to a foreign country can help you develop a truly international network, which will undoubtedly help you in your career plans.
Discover our international program
In order to answer our students’ desires while offering them the opportunity to improve both their expertise and their interpersonal skills, we have focused our international development on 3 main areas:
- Mandatory internships abroad;
- Offer for humanitarian missions;
- Places reserved for foreign students who wish to study in France.
This means that all our students can go abroad at least once during their studies, and can easily exchange ideas with foreign students who have come to France.
The history of perfume is one of cultural exchange, and international trade began very early on. It was with this in mind that we designed our international exchange program.
So, while the majority of students do their internships in France, it’s possible to take advantage of the partners set up by the École Supérieure du Parfum & de la Cosmétique to study in Europe, North or South America, Middle East or Asia.
In addition, our program is accredited by the European Board of Higher Education Schools (EABHES). This enables Bachelor’s and Master’s students to benefit from a European diploma offering ECTS credit recognition and certification.
ERASMUS
The Ecole Supérieure de Parfum & de la Cosmétique has also been awarded the new Erasmus + charter. Students will be able to apply for an Erasmus grant for internships in any of the 33 member countries of the program.
