True to its founding principles, in its graduate programmes the institution focuses
on the development of personal values, management and leadership skills.

LaSalle Beauvais pursues a policy of scientific excellence throughout the institution in three key applied research areas:
Agro-resources
Research in this area concerns the
diversification of agricultural production
and usage, and adaptation of practices
and production systems. The focus is
on renewable biomass energy.
LaSalle Beauvais is a founding member
of the worldwide “Industries and Agro-
Resources” competitiveness cluster,
formed to develop non-food application
programmes for agricultural production
with the active involvement of members
from several of the Institute’s research
facilities. The scientific goal of the
PICAR-T research team is to develop
a collaborative interdisciplinary approach
to drive innovation in the farming, food,
agro-resources and rural areas sectors.
Food and health
Research in this area concerns the
improvement of human and animal
nutrition, preservation of health and
understanding of consumer behaviour.
LaSalle Beauvais is either actively involved
or plays a leading role in several French
and European research programmes in
this field. The goal of the EGEAL research
team is to ascertain the potential health
risks to foetuses and infants represented
by contaminants resulting from heat
treatment of the food matrix.
Geosciences
Research in this area has a dual focus:
to gain a deeper understanding of the
history of the Earth, particularly in relation
to the distribution and extraction of
geological resources – materials, minerals,
hydrocarbons, and also water – essential
to the socio-economic development of
the world’s population; and to envisage
the implementation of future-focused
procedures and methods for protecting
and managing the environment, soil
and subsoil, with particular focus on
techniques for assessing and monitoring
natural and industrial risks, as well as
prevention and rehabilitation aspects.
The HYDRISE research team addresses
the problems of trace metal transfer
to surface environments and potential
solutions for hydrosystems subjected
to anthropogenic pressures.
Applied Research in Earth, Life and Environmental Sciences
LaSalle Beauvais receives full support from local government and enjoys the benefit of strong partnerships with French National Research Centers or Universities such as UTC, UPJV, INERIS, INSERM, INRA, Institut Pasteur in Lille, IFREMER and BRGM…

Strong ties with the business community
Our syllabuses all include between 10 and 15 months
spent in internships, many of which abroad. Tutorials and case
studies supervised by academic staff and industry professionals
supplement the fieldwork experience.
Our links with the business community offer key advantages.
We can adapt our programmes to socio-economic demands
and change. Our students are given a clearer idea of their career
options and can be more easily productive in their first job.
Today LaSalle Beauvais has direct links with over 1,000
organisations and companies. And the fact that they continue
to call on us can be attributed to the excellent calibre of our
students, and our high teaching and research standards.
The Alumni Association (AIAE) is very active and follows
the progress and careers of its 5,600 members, 4,500 of whom
are in employment today. Through its Employment and Careers
Service, AIAE advertises about 3,500 annual job vacancies
(sent by the graduates themselves, recruitment consultants or
company HR departments, etc.) and provides Alumni with
career guidance and advice.
AIAE works in partnership with the Institution to support
undergraduates and graduates throughout their degree course,
underlining the importance of career networking, discussing
opportunities, and facilitating meetings between students and
Alumni.
LaSalle Beauvais’ originality lies in its ability to develop professional skills through internships and conventional teaching as well as through the personal commitment of its students to the local community and the world at large. Our Alumni are also managers, recognized for their all-round excellence, and their leadership and team-building qualities.

JonAS DepAtieLAvAL UniveRSity, QUebec, cAnADA 5-month study trip
“ I much appreciated the close
interaction between lecturers
and students and the high
standard of teaching. The outside
lecturers who came to teach
certain classes are proof of the
school’s professional approach.
The most difficult thing for me
was getting used to the pace and
the numerous different subjects.
I really enjoyed the field
internships as they force us to put
our theoretical knowledge into
practice. The atmosphere on
campus is lively and sporty. ”
bASSem KhARRAt eSiAm, in LebAnon 4-month study period
“I really enjoyed student life
on this campus. It’s far better than
in other schools and universities
I’ve been to.
But what I appreciated most
of all was the welcome I received
from the “LaSallians”, who were
always by our side. We are now
graduated students and can’t wait
to begin our careers.”

What means of production, crop and livestock varieties, uses of natural resources, biotechnologies, biofuels and services are available to us? These major challenges call for innovative responses and solutions.
Training of experts at the intersection of medicine, agriculture, food and pharmacy. Graduates havea good grasp of the latest major public health issues relating to the links between food and the health of Humans and livestock.
Training of experts in both geology (mineralogy, mines and quarries, volcanology, etc.) and environmental protection (management of energy resources, natural risks, pollutionand pollution control, etc.). Graduates have the task of seeking out sources of drinking water, hydrocarbons and mineral resources, and handling waste management.

(January- June)
Final year internship: during the final year internship students complete a project on a topic relevant to the host institution (industrial or laboratory setting). Following the internship, they write and defend their final year thesis.
Specific programmes taught in EnglishSpring semester (early February to mid-may)
Since 2010, a full semester of classes taught in English
has been on offer for international students.
This programme is based on our food and health syllabus
and is regularly supplemented with lectures and classes in
culinary sciences, administration and management sciences
as well as agro-industrial organization to cover the entire range
of food sector disciplines.
Our modular courses enable all international students to
earn ECTS credits or equivalent US credits.
During this semester, weekly French language training
classes can provide students further credits.
Short-term programmes (early may to late August)
Following a request from our partners, for several years now,
we have organised short programmes lasting 1 to 3 weeks
on topics related directly to our training programmes
and research areas or to the economic and cultural heritage
of Picardy, our home region.
Students live on campus and are accompanied by French guides
during all visits and conferences which are given in English.
The themes of some of the programmes organised in
the past were:
- logistics in the food industry
- use and industrial application of agro-resources within
the competitiveness cluster and transfer of innovations
to field situations
- French gastronomy and health benefits
- landscape as part of historical heritage, land management
and planning
- French parks and gardens
- promotion of maritime heritage and preservation of
the coastal environment
- study of ground in geology

“ This trip helped me to develop
solid skills in finance and
business and prepared me for the
world of work. Outside lecturers
shared their experience with us
and this gave us a more realistic
idea than the formal lectures.
Group work helps
to develop team spirit just like
in a company situation, and this
produces efficient and capable
business people.”
AKie SmytheFAmU, USA4 months – spring semester in nutritional sciences
“ Personally LaSalle Bauvais has
opened up my perspective of
France altogether. Regarding
student life I was able to appreciate
a smaller, more interpersonal
campus being that I come from a
relatively large university in the
USA. The language barrier was
quite difficult upon arrival. I do wish
I had courses and time to learn,
but the students played a big part
in my French matri cu lation and
now I feel comfortable holding
conver sations. The courses were
very interesting; some were great
and some so so. I certainly enjoyed
all of the campus events! This
institution is full of student activities
and opportunities; it’s a very
convenient and comfortable
atmosphere.
All in all, LaSalle Beauvais has
contributed to my overall academic
and professional matriculation
as it pertains to international
agriculture and the food industry.
I would certainly recommend this
institution to any student who
desires to study nutritional sciences
abroad.”

A global outlook
The profits from student events (Nuit de l’Institut, Ovalies
Tournament, Georaid, etc.) are donated to a different charity
every year (e.g. LaSalle school in India, Médecins sans
Frontières, Cœur Monde, etc.).
Students can attend English classes as well as language
classes in Spanish, German, Portuguese and French
(for international students). All our undergraduate students
undertake an internship in an English-speaking country.
They can also take a sabbatical year mid-way through
their curriculum in order to do humanitarian work or
to pursue professional or personal growth opportunities.
Then, our graduate students, upon selection, may study
in a partner university abroad in their area of specialization.
This can be either a semester, a study period with a final
qualification or a dual diploma.
Student and academic staff mobility is facilitated by our
Erasmus network (some 30 European partner universities)
as well as by some 30 agreements with universities
on all five continents. In this aspect, the fact that we have
Paris-Beauvais airport on our doorstep (just 5 minutes
from campus) puts us at a real advantage.
LaSalle Beauvais is also involved in international cooperation
programmes such as EU-US, EU-Canada Projects and
BRAFITEC, among others.
International cooperation is based on themed networks
such as the Europe-wide ICA http://www.ica-ls.com/
or the local “Study in Picardy” network (about
32,000 students) http://www.studyinpicardy.fr/
and enjoys financial support from the Departmental
Council of Oise, Regional Council of Picardy, French
government and Europe.
LaSalle Beauvais students are involved in numerous humanitarian projects, in particular through the distribution of funds raised by their many different efforts and events.

LaSalle Beauvais has a lively campus for students.
Accommodation, catering and sports facilities on the campus
certified!
LaSalle Beauvais was recently awarded ISO 9001
certification for all its student training and research
activit ies, suppor t and guidance services and
accommodation, as well as for its extracurricular activities.
We are particularly proud of this achievement as it is
testimony to the overall quality of our offering.
Our ISO 14001-certified farm, EcoCampus scheme and
“Responsible campuses” network membership provide
evidence of the environmental efforts of all LaSalle Beauvais
stakeholders.
The campus is central to the learning experience of each
and every one of our students. The group-focused teaching
methods used help students to develop collective thinking
and to grow as individuals. Every international student is
mentored by a French buddy student, via the student
association “Com’ Internationale”, who introduces them
to the campus and student activities to ensure full immersion
in French culture and life.
The classrooms, lecture theatres, labs, documentation library,
computer rooms, experimentation plots and sports facilities
are all located on the 10-hectare campus near residences
and dining halls, which is adjacent to a 30-hectare wood and
a 200-hectare experimental farm.
Over fifty clubs and societies offer a wide range of activities
including music, theatre, wine-tasting and photography,
plus sports such as handball, volleyball, basketball,
rugby, football, squash, badminton, tennis, gym, cycling
(bikes available) and horse riding, etc.
In addition to this offering, the academic year is punctuated
by events, with some gathering up to 3,000 people such
as the Nuit de l’Institut (LaSalle Beauvais’ gala ball),
the Ovalies Tournament (a major European university
rugby tournament sponsoring humanitarian causes), Junior
Enterprise conferences and the graduation ceremony.
LaSalle Beauvais is renowned for its open and welcoming
culture and attracts a broad mix of students from diverse
backgrounds. The Institution has made the necessary
adjustments to be able to welcome disabled students
through the Total Handicap project.

“Life on campus is pleasant,
the town of Beauvais has plenty
to offer and you can make the
most of Paris easily by train.
The teaching methods are very
different from those in Brazil.
My experience of human and
business management allowed
me to go beyond a strictly
technical agronomic approach
and helped prepare me for
the job market. The cultural
exchanges and knowledge learnt
here make it worthwhile travelling
so far away from my family and
friends.”

“The International Relations Office
staff were very hospitable and this
made me feel at home as soon as
I stepped onto the campus. The
lecturers are friendly and helpful to
students, the lectures were
interesting and I made huge
progress in French. I am delighted
with my stay at LaSalle Beauvais
and in France!”
