BBA EDHEC students, on the other hand, will be able to replace their third year by enrolling in a W course, including journalism, documentary and fiction, or marketing and digital communication.

[12] On 19 June 2021, the University of Paris-II Panthéon Assas announced a plan to transform its structure into an experimental one, based on a public-private partnership, which would bring together the Institut supérieur d'interprétation et de traduction (ISIT), the École française d'électronique et d'informatique (EFREI), the Centre de formation des journalistes (CFJ) and the École W as constituent schools of the university, and the IRSEM as a partner institute.

[15] In April 2024, the French National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance (INSEP) and the W School announced the launch at the start of the 2024 academic year of a new bachelor's degree course in journalism and communication, open to high-level sportsmen and women (SHN) and non-SHN, to replace the ‘Sportcom’ course created by the CFJ in 1987.
