The group

For more than 11 years, Next-U has opened campuses in Bordeaux, Paris, Lyon and Lille. Building on the success of the ESCEN and thanks to the quality of placement of alumni in the company after their studies, the Group obtained the authorization to issue a State diploma. This excellence in teaching has allowed them to be eligible for registration programs with France Skills (formerly RNCP), governed by the ministry of labour.

The ESCEN
The group Next-U is a product of the creation 11 years ago of the ESCEN (Ecole Supérieure de Commerce and Digital Economy). This school was the first brick of what is today the group Next-U.

At this time, the vocation of the ESCEN was to propose on the labour market and education, innovative research, which allowed mixing of the traditional studies of trade by inserting in its curriculum, a technology proven to be, particularly on the digital.

The aim was also to solve the recruitment problems that had at that time, the companies, in the field of digital skills that are emerging, especially in web marketing.

On the basis of historical success of the ESCEN, the group asks the question of opening of new programs. 
The group Next-U, launches ATLAS INSTITUTE
The first purpose of the market analysis has focused on the tourism market.

Market with a strong evolution on two important axes :

- the e-tourism
- and sustainable tourism.

The conclusion was the following, existing courses were very focused on the tourism sector in the traditional sense of the term, travel agency, tour operator.

For all that, there was no training program which allowed them to acquire skills on the e-tourism specifically, but also on the new standards in connection with sustainable development.
The creation of MAGNUM INSTITUTE
In another sector of activity, close to the geographical history of the ESCEN, Bordeaux, the evolution of the market for wines and spirits has caused the same issues.

It turns out that in this very traditional also, the employees were often from wine industry-wine or specialized in the trading of wines and spirits. So far, these people had little expertise in the field of online distribution, social networks, etc...

On the basis of this statement the school Magnum Institute is created on the baseline, wine and spirits business school”, which pre-empts especially about the business in the field of wines and spirits.

This subject is addressed in a traditional way with the principle of the business, but also and especially in connection with the implementation of online sales both from a regulatory point of view, technological, and sales through marketing. Real innovation on the market, Magnum surfs a wave that had not been explored so far.
The development of computer skills with WEBTECH
In the desire to have a range of complementary products, the group Next-U wanted to complete the historical program of the ESCEN in web-marketing activities with a school named Webtech Institute, which is a school of computer science pure.

This school's shape-the use of codes and technologies associated with the web. It complements the ecosystem of the ESCEN, these skills are additional.

Some students of the ESCEN can discover appétences in this area and switch their program and vice versa.
A short program and a generalist output tray, BACHELOR INSTITUTE
The statement was simple, a lot of students at the output of the tray had a hard time choosing between studies short or long. More difficult still, to choose the sector of activity in which they wanted to evolve.

In the Face of the 4 schools of the group in cursus long, on specific areas, the group Next-U launches the program the Bachelor institute. It is a program in 3 years, during the first 2 years all matters related to the sector and to skills tertiary are discussed. The fields of communication, marketing, trade are studied to form a solid base of knowledge of general practitioners is essential.

It is third year, students choose a specialization related to the sector of economic activity in which they are interested.
