About the city

Choosing a school also entails choosing a region and its atmosphere. The Nord-Pas de Calais region, within Hauts-de-France, combines three qualities recognised by all those who come here to study: various work opportunities for work combined with a warm welcome and a sense of festivity. The Nord-Pas de Calais region is the youngest in France, and the Nord department is the most densely populated.

SKEMA's Lille campus is located in a major European metropolis with a population of about 1.4 million. Lille is France's No. 1 student city in terms of the ratio of students to inhabitants and is developing a vibrant cultural life. In 2004, Lille was named the European Capital of Culture.
