Starting at ICN

Starting at ICN Business School marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter filled with discoveries and opportunities. From induction seminars and key events to practical information, everything is designed to support international students in their first steps in France and ensure a smooth and successful integration into the school.

Take part in a unique start to the academic year – beyond the classroom!

The start of the academic year is often associated with stress and the abrupt end of the summer break… but not at ICN Business School! Here, it is much more than simply returning to classes: it becomes a truly immersive experience and, for a few more days, an extension of your summer.

From the very first days, students take part in induction seminars designed to immerse them in the school’s teaching approach, build connections, and develop key skills. ICN is also one of the few business schools in France to offer this experience.

Whether you are enrolled in the Bachelor in Management, the International BBA, or the Master in Management (MiM), these highlights make all the difference. Designed as moments of learning and cohesion, they allow each student to become familiar with their environment, meet their cohort, and begin their journey under unique conditions.
