“The past three years in Humanities and Social Sciences have been an exceptionally enriching experience, on three particular levels.
First of all, the atmosphere at the ESHS is quite unique, something. After three years, everyone knows everyone! This extends not only to the students, but also to the teachers and the secretariat. You are never alone in dealing with a problem, whether it be academic, administrative or something else entirely.
Then there is the quality of the courses, which cover a wide range of subjects, including sociology, management, psychology, political science, history, and others, and which lead to a choice of courses at Master level. It is intellectually challenging, but opens up many doors and gives every student the opportunity to make their own choice according to their own desires. In my particular case, it has opened the door to bilingual training at the ULB’s Institute of European Studies.
Finally, there is the wealth of related activities (the Mons Cup football tournament, the “4h cuistax” go-karting event, the Saint Nicolas celebration, among others), student job offers on camps, parties, and many more. In short, my experience has been rich and, after the Master’s, I found a job straight away (I am a parliamentary assistant to the Belgian Chamber of Representatives and the Parliament of Wallonia), thus demonstrating that training at the ESHS leads to employment.”
