International BBA
Program Overview
The International BBA at ICN Business School is a state-recognized Bac+4 degree. Offered on our Paris and Berlin campuses, this outstanding program has a strong international dimension.
Taught in English on Berlin campus, this program provides students with a high-level professional education. It aims to train future leaders in key business functions for international markets.
Why Join the International BBA?
Our ambition is to train the managers of tomorrow, capable of thriving in a globalized professional world. To achieve this, we offer you the opportunity to study at our partner universities for 18 to 30 months throughout the program.
Throughout these 4 years, you will experience cultural diversity and receive excellent education in different contexts. At ICN and our partner universities, you will have the chance to broaden your perspective and become a professional in an international setting.
Thanks to the #ATM pedagogy, you will experience an interdisciplinary approach within a culturally diverse environment. The transformation of the environment, from a societal, geopolitical, technological, and environmental standpoint, is central to the teachings and training. Our school’s creative pedagogy thus becomes the best response to these challenges.
Finally, the program is entirely in English if you choose the Berlin campus for your first year. If you opt for Paris, the first year will be in French. The second year will follow the same pattern. However, for the last two years, the curriculum is in English. This approach aligns with our goal of preparing you for an international career.
