Management — the skill that travels across every industry.
"Management is a cross-disciplinary skill that goes beyond the boundaries of any single field. Whether you work in science, architecture, healthcare, engineering or the arts, mastering the fundamentals — planning, organization, leadership and communication — is what turns knowledge into concrete, durable results."
Sectors where management skills make a difference
Studying architecture, science, design or engineering? — Add a Bachelor in Management in just one year.
The BIM Fast Track is a one-year accelerated track specifically built for students currently enrolled in another field — architecture, biology, medicine, engineering, design, arts, law. You stay enrolled in your home university and complete the BIM in parallel, adding a management diploma from PSE to your main field of study.
Designed for students from
What it is
A management degree, in parallel with yours.
The Fast Track is an intensive one-year program covering the core fundamentals of management — economics, finance, marketing, strategy, leadership, and project management. It is delivered 100% online, designed to fit alongside your existing university schedule, ending with a short internship and a thesis defense.
On successful completion, you are awarded the Bachelor in Management, an institutional diploma (diplôme d'établissement) from Paris School of Entrepreneurship. It is awarded independently of your home university, which continues to award its own degree under its own rules.
How it works
From enrolment to graduation.
-
1
You are currently in the 3rd year of a Bachelor / Licence in a non-business field, with 2 years (120 ECTS) already validated.
-
2
You apply to the BIM Fast Track and confirm you remain enrolled in your home university for that year.
-
3
You follow the BIM curriculum online, in parallel, with flexible scheduling and recorded sessions.
-
4
You complete a short internship and defend a final thesis.
-
5
You are awarded the PSE Bachelor in Management at the end of the academic year — the same year as your final year at your home university.
Why management skills matter for technical and creative profiles.
Architects · Designers
Many architects and designers go on to run studios, agencies or freelance practices. Management is what turns a creative talent into a sustainable business.
Scientists · Engineers
R&D, biotech and tech industries hire scientists who can also lead projects, read a P&L, and communicate with non-technical stakeholders. The BIM closes that gap.
Artists · Creatives
Launching a studio, gallery, or independent practice requires pricing, contracts, marketing, and team management. The BIM gives creative graduates the operational toolkit.
Teaching Methods, Global Immersion & Career Outcomes
The BIM combines structured online learning, intensive Paris-based seminars and autonomous work — a format designed for international students who want a Paris degree without the cost and rigidity of a traditional campus.
Teaching Format — 40 · 40 · 20
In-person · Paris
Intensive Paris seminars, masterclasses with practitioners, networking events in startup incubators and innovation hubs.
Online · Live sessions
Live virtual classes, structured tutorials and faculty-led workshops accessible from anywhere in the world.
Autonomous learning
Self-paced modules, applied case studies and project work validated by faculty mentors.
Fast Track (Complementary Degree) students follow a 100% online schedule, designed to fit alongside their main university curriculum.

Everything international students ask before applying
Practical answers to the questions we hear most from candidates outside France — about language, visa, recognition, fees, and life as a BIM student.
Can I follow the BIM if I don't speak French?
Yes. The BIM is fully bilingual French / English: you can complete the entire program in English if needed. French classes are available as electives so you can pick up the language during your time in Paris — a strong asset for the local job market.
What are the two program tracks — Full Program vs Fast Track?
Full Program (3 years) — complete post-secondary track building all core management competencies.
Fast Track — Complementary Degree (1 year) — designed for students currently in the 3rd year of a Bachelor/Licence in another field (architecture, sciences, healthcare, engineering, arts…), with 120 ECTS validated, who want to add a Management Bachelor alongside their main studies.
Is the BIM degree recognized internationally?
The BIM is an institutional diploma (diplôme d'établissement) comprising 180 ECTS, awarded by Paris School of Entrepreneurship, a private higher education institution declared to the Rectorat de l'Académie de Paris (UAI 0756576R). Graduates may use it to apply to Master's or MBA programmes in France and abroad, subject to each receiving institution's own admission criteria.
Applicants should verify recognition requirements in their home country before applying.
Will PSE help me with the student visa?
Yes. Once enrolled, PSE issues an enrolment certificate (Attestation d'Inscription) to support your visa application. Our admissions team supports you through Campus France procedures where applicable, document translations, and provides guidance on accommodation and bank account setup in France.
PSE cannot guarantee visa approval — the final decision rests with French consular authorities.
What is the IAM Track and can BIM students join?
The IAM Track (International Academic Mobility) is an optional residency programme letting BIM students spend academic periods in international cities while staying enrolled in the BIM.

Yes. Holders of a French student residence permit are generally allowed to work up to 964 hours per year (around 20 hours per week) alongside their studies; specific rules apply to some nationalities. The BIM's hybrid format gives you the flexibility to combine study and part-time work.
