For Universities & Institutions
Add Paris to your programme — zero admin
Embed PSE short programs into your curriculum as a non-ECTS module, a study-abroad option, or a standalone trip. Co-branded certificates. Partner dashboard. No institutional fee.
Not a study trip. A production sprint.
Most short programs give you a classroom and a city tour. PSE gives you a company to build, an article to publish, and a portfolio that proves what you did — not just where you went.
What you leave with
Every programme ends with proof — not just a certificate.
Whether you do 1 week or 10, you walk away with tangible deliverables that matter to employers, investors, and graduate schools.
Publish Under Your Name
Even in a 1-week programme, your article is submitted to IJABER (ISSN 3077-2273), our peer-reviewed international journal. A permanent, citable academic record — yours forever.
