Welcome to ICN!

Are you about to take your French degree and looking to join a business school that combines academic excellence, practical experience and an international outlook? ICN Business School’s Bachelor’s programmes allow you to develop your management skills from the very first year, work on real-world projects and prepare for a future international career.

After graduation, you can choose between two programmes at ICN:

This programme is designed to develop you into a committed professional while supporting your personal and professional growth throughout your career. During the course, you will have the freedom to build your own pathway within a leading business school, with the option to follow a traditional or work-study track, go abroad, complete multiple internships, and shape a journey that truly reflects your ambitions.
  • International BBA: Looking for an international experience? Choose a bilingual, predominantly English-taught programme designed to prepare you for management roles in a global context. Throughout the programme, you will be exposed to cultural diversity and high-quality teaching in different environments, both at ICN and at our partner universities, helping you broaden your perspective and become a global professional.
