In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, business demands more than just theory — it calls for adaptability, innovation, and real-world insight. Our undergraduate bachelor’s programme is crafted to meet these demands with a rigorous curriculum that blends analytical thinking with strategic management. Through strong industry integration and hands-on learning, we prepare students to lead with confidence, drive impact, and thrive in the global business landscape.

Our programme offers a comprehensive foundation in International Business, enabling students to grasp the core principles of Economics, Finance, Marketing, and Business Operations on a global scale. Students will learn to evaluate and craft business strategies within diverse international contexts, gaining a strong analytical edge.

Through a focused emphasis on Management and Leadership, the programme develops essential skills for decision-making, strategic planning, and leadership in multicultural environments, while fostering a strong commitment to ethical and responsible global practices.

A deep Geostrategic Understanding is cultivated by exploring the influence of geopolitical dynamics on global markets and international relations, preparing students to design strategies that are both forward-thinking and globally relevant. Finally, the programme strengthens students’ capabilities in Multicultural Relations, empowering them to appreciate cultural diversity, manage cross-cultural teams effectively, and communicate with clarity and empathy across international borders.

As an integral part of the curriculum, students engage in a structured internship each year of their studies, ensuring continuous exposure to real-world business environments and the practical application of their learning. In the first year, students begin with a one-week study immersion programme in France, followed by a two-month internship either in France or abroad.

The second year includes a two-month internship, once again offering the flexibility of domestic or international placement. Students complete a three-month internship in the third year, allowing for deeper industry engagement and professional growth in a global setting.
