Is the BBA Europe a Bac+3 qualification?
The BBA Europe is open after the high school diploma (post-bac) and lasts 3 years (180 ECTS). It leads to an institutional diploma awarded by Paris School of Entrepreneurship.

Its recognition by an employer or another institution is at their discretion.
Is the diploma recognised internationally?
The BBA Europe awards 180 ECTS over 3 years. It is an institutional diploma awarded by Paris School of Entrepreneurship, a private higher education institution declared to the Rectorat de l'Académie de Paris (UAI 0756576R). It may allow further study at Master's or MBA level, in France and abroad, subject to each institution's admission criteria.
It is not registered with the RNCP — applicants should check recognition conditions in their home country.
