International Bachelor
of Business Administration

The International BBA is a 4-year undergraduate programme (240 ECTS), accessible post-bac and taught in English and French at Paris School of Entrepreneurship. It combines core business management, international strategy and hands-on entrepreneurship.

From Year 1, students develop a real entrepreneurial project with guidance from PSE (actually launching a company remains a personal choice), write an article submitted to IJABER (ISSN 3077-2273), PSE's peer-reviewed journal (publication after editorial approval), and will benefit from the Verified Venture Portfolio, currently being rolled out.

Three learning pathways are available: Parcours Paris (hybrid — 40% on-site, 40% online, 20% independent), IAM Track (Paris and international cities, 100% English, travel costs not included in tuition) and Global Digital Scholar (100% online).

The International BBA is accessible after the baccalaureate (post-bac) and lasts 4 years (240 ECTS). It leads to an institutional diploma awarded by Paris School of Entrepreneurship. It is not a French national diploma and is not registered with the RNCP, so it does not carry a state-recognised “Bac+4” level. Its recognition by employers or other institutions is at their discretion.

Year 1 (L1): High school diploma (baccalaureate) or international equivalent.

Year 2 (L2): 60 validated ECTS in a related field.

Year 3 (L3): 120 validated ECTS or a 2-year higher education diploma.

Admission is based on academic record, language proficiency and entrepreneurial or career objectives. No entrance exam. No Parcoursup. Every application is reviewed personally and you receive a formal decision by email. Transfers and career changers are welcome.

Tuition is €11,500 per year, including a €2,000 deposit paid once you are admitted. A payment schedule is available under Article 13 bis of our Terms and Conditions, and you keep a 14-day right of withdrawal after enrolment.

Scholarships are the sole discount mechanism. They may be awarded under our Scholarship Policy: merit scholarship up to 25%, sports scholarship up to 10%, transfer aid up to 5% (not cumulative). Requests are accepted from 1 February and reviewed in order of receipt of complete files, within the budget allocated by PSE.

Graduates receive the International Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), an institutional diploma (diplôme d'établissement) awarded by Paris School of Entrepreneurship, a private higher education institution declared to the Rectorat de l'Académie de Paris (UAI 0756576R). 240 ECTS · Not RNCP-registered.

Students also write an article submitted to IJABER and will benefit from the Verified Venture Portfolio, currently being rolled out.

International students should verify diploma recognition conditions in their home country before enrolling.

Yes. The International BBA is bilingual English / French. The Parcours Paris pathway uses both languages, while the IAM Track and Global Digital Scholar pathways are delivered 100% in English.

No standardized language test is required at admission — proficiency is assessed during the application review and interview.

Parcours Paris (hybrid): 40% on-campus seminars in Paris + 40% live online sessions + 20% independent study. Bilingual EN/FR.

IAM Track: Paris and international cities. 100% English. Includes study trips across Europe and the USA; travel, accommodation and visa costs are not included in tuition.

Global Digital Scholar: 100% online — suited to athletes, artists, working students or students outside France.

All three pathways lead to the same diploma — same ECTS, same competency blocks, same graduation requirements.

5 majors: International Business & Trade, Finance & Accounting, Marketing & Communication, Management & Operations, and Technology & Innovation.

25 concentrations, including AI in Finance, Digital Marketing, Global Brand Strategy, Sustainable Finance, Digital Sovereignty & EU Tech and Climate Tech.

Majors and concentrations open subject to a sufficient number of enrolled students; your choice is confirmed in writing before enrolment.

Yes — the programme is open to all nationalities. PSE provides the enrolment attestation required for student visa applications and supports Campus France procedures where applicable.

Admissions support is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese via WhatsApp.

PSE does not guarantee visa issuance — decisions rest with the relevant consular authorities. Students are advised to begin visa procedures early.

Examples of target roles: International Manager, Business Analyst, Business Development Manager, Strategy Consultant, Export Manager, Marketing Manager, Entrepreneur & Startup Founder. Positions reached depend on each graduate's background and the job market; no employment outcome is guaranteed.

The International BBA can also lead to further studies — Master's programmes in International Business or Finance, or MBA programmes. Admission to advanced programmes depends on each institution's own requirements.

The International BBA (4 years, 240 ECTS) offers deeper international immersion — with residencies in several cities on the IAM Track, an article submitted to IJABER, an entrepreneurial project and a Year 4 thesis.

The BBA Europe (3 years, 180 ECTS) is a more concentrated programme focused on European business and a faster entry into the job market.

Both share PSE's entrepreneurial approach and the same core competency framework.

No. PSE is a private higher education institution (établissement privé hors contrat) — applications are made directly online through the school's website, independently of Parcoursup.

Main intake in October, with February and May intakes depending on the programme. Applications are reviewed year-round.
