From Santander to the world: how Groupe EDH boosts the international reach of CESINE students
CESINE has been part of Groupe EDH since 2019: 15 schools, 37 campuses and 17,000 students in six countries
Studying on a human-scale campus and having access to a global academic network are not mutually exclusive. That is exactly what defines the CESINE experience today. Since 2019, CESINE has been part of Groupe EDH, one of Europe’s leading higher education groups specialising in the creative industries, communication, business, design and innovation.
A 76-year-old educational ecosystem
Groupe EDH currently brings together:
- 15 schools on 37 campuses
- 24 cities in 6 countries
- 17,000 students from all over the world
- 100,000 alumni in an active international community
- 235 partner universities
All of this has been built over more than 76 years of experience in creativity, communication, marketing, design, audiovisual media, fashion, architecture, journalism and technology.
What this means for a CESINE student
For our students, being part of the group is much more than a label. It means studying in Santander — a city known for its quality of life, natural surroundings and university atmosphere — with access to a network that connects with some of the leading specialist schools in Europe and the United States.
In practice, this translates into joint projects, academic exchanges, multi-campus experiences and ongoing contact with students and lecturers from different cultures and professional backgrounds. An environment that prepares you for an increasingly international job market.
Leading schools in every discipline
The group is home to some of Europe’s most renowned schools:
- EFAP — communication and marketing
- BRASSART — digital creation
- ICART — cultural management
- IFA Paris — fashion
- CREAD — interior architecture
- GNOMON — considered one of the world’s best schools for 3D animation, visual effects and video games
With a presence in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Istanbul and Pamplona, as well as Santander.
A shared philosophy
Groupe EDH shares an approach to education based on hands-on training, close collaboration with companies and the development of professionals who can anticipate change in their industry. These are the same values CESINE has applied for almost three decades.
Since joining the group in 2019, CESINE has strengthened its international position while keeping its identity intact: a practical methodology, small groups, practising lecturers and direct ties with the business community. What it has gained is the chance to broaden horizons without giving up studying in Santander.
