Universities in the 13th arrondissement
While exploring the 13th arrondissement, you will no doubt see plenty of fellow students strolling down the streets, chatting, fooling around and seating at Parisian cafés.
The district is indeed home to plenty of established schools and universities, including Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Télécom ParisTech, the Cité de la Mode et du Design, Paris Diderot University (aka Paris 7), Tolbiac (an annex to University Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne), Gobelin and of course our very own Paris School of Business.
From business to fashion, the 13th arrondissement has become a beacon of excellence attracting students from every corner of France… and beyond.
A business district in the making
While La Défense remained for years the main economic center in the French capital, the 13th district has recently become a strong contender!
A growing number of international companies have (re)located their headquarters to the up-and-coming 13th arrondissement, among which Accor, Ubisoft, Accenture, Natixis, The Walt Disney Company France… and the lists goes on.
The rising business district, named Paris Rive Gauche, was also chosen by star entrepreneur Xavier Niel as the location for his highly publicized business incubator, Station F. The innovative business campus is now home to hundreds of promising startups as well as noteworthy corporate partners including Facebook and Microsoft.
Does it come as a surprise then that our Parisian business school chose precisely the 13th arrondissement to train and shape tomorrow’s decision makers and entrepreneurs?
