1. Program Introduction:

To broaden the horizons of our students and expand internationalization, our college has signed a master's joint training program agreement with ESSCA (École Supérieure des Sciences Commerciales d'Angers). Full-time first-year graduate students who meet the conditions can apply for this program during the spring semester of their first academic year. Students who successfully apply and participate in the program will complete their first year of study at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) and then start their studies at ESSCA from the third semester of their master's program. During this period, their student status at NPU will be officially retained through formal procedures. After successfully completing their second year of study at ESSCA, students will return to NPU to complete their final semester and thesis. Ultimately, students must meet the graduation requirements of both institutions to obtain a master's degree conferred by NPU and a master's diploma issued by ESSCA, recognized by the education ministries of China and France, and accredited by AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA.
