Inside Wesford

Wesford, trading as WES'SUP, is a private business and management school based in the Pays de Gex area close to Geneva, with its main campus at the Saint-Genis-Pouilly technology park.

It also runs sites around Lyon and Villeurbanne, and its pages mention further locations in Roanne, Annecy and Bellegarde, which gives students access to the Swiss border labour market. The school presents itself as a route from Bac+2 to Bac+5 and states that it has operated as a higher-education provider since 2013.

Teaching leads to BTS diplomas in fields such as commercial management, customer relations, accounting and management, and cybersecurity, followed by three-year Bachelor programmes in digital marketing, finance and management control, and software development. At postgraduate level it offers Mastere and MBA titles in business strategy, human resources, finance and logistics.

Courses can be followed full time or through work-study contracts, and the school holds the Qualiopi quality certification for training and apprenticeship activities.

Its diplomas are declared to the Rectorat de Lyon and the regional labour authority. International students apply through an online file, remote tests and an interview before obtaining a pre-registration certificate for Campus France, and the school maintains partnerships in Switzerland, Morocco, Algeria and the United States that support double-degree options.
