"

PSE m'a appris à penser comme un entrepreneur avant même d'avoir un titre. Dès mon retour à Mumbai, j'ai rejoint Vantara Ventures avec une vision stratégique concrète et une capacité à naviguer entre les cultures — deux choses que je n'aurais jamais développées sans l'expérience internationale de PSE."

What is the International BBA at Paris School of Entrepreneurship?

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

Students co-found a real venture with school funding from Year 1, produce a peer-reviewed IJABER publication (ISSN 3077-2273), and build a Verified Venture Portfolio verifiable by QR code.

Three learning pathways are available: Parcours Paris (hybrid — 40% on-site, 40% online, 20% independent), IAM Track (Paris + 3 international cities, 100% English), and Global Digital Scholar (100% online).

What are the entry requirements?

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.

How much does the International BBA cost?

Tuition is €11,500 per year with a €2,000 deposit to secure your place. Flexible payment plans are available.

Scholarships may be awarded based on the applicant's profile — scholarships are the sole discount mechanism. Applications for scholarships open each 1 February.

What credential do graduates receive?

Graduates receive an International Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) — a private institution degree (diplôme d'établissement privé) awarded by Paris School of Entrepreneurship, registered with the Rectorat de l'Académie de Paris (UAI 0756576R).

240 ECTS · Bac+4 level · Aligned with European higher education standards. Not RNCP-accredited.

Graduates also leave with a peer-reviewed IJABER publication and a Verified Venture Portfolio (QR-verifiable). A Double Degree with the BIM is available.

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

Is the programme taught in English?

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.

What are the three learning pathways?

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

IAM Track: Paris + 3 international cities. 100% English. Includes Study Vacations across Europe and the USA.

Global Digital Scholar: 100% online — ideal for athletes, artists, working professionals, or students outside France.

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

What specialisations are available?

5 majors: Strategic Marketing, Communication, Banking & Finance, Information Technology & Data Analytics, and International Business.

14 minors: including Sustainable Business, Digital Business & Data, Event Management, Hospitality & Tourism, Investment & Wealth Management, Art & Culture Management, Project Management, Public Relations, Social Media, and more.

Majors and minors are subject to minimum enrolment thresholds.

Can international students apply? What about visas?

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.

What career paths are open after the International BBA?

Graduates access roles such as International Manager, Business Analyst, Business Development Manager, Strategy Consultant, Export Manager, Marketing Director, Entrepreneur & Startup Founder.

The International BBA also serves as a pathway to further studies — Master's in International Business or Finance, MBA programmes, or PhD research. Admission to advanced programmes depends on each institution's own requirements.

How does the International BBA differ from the BBA Europe?

The International BBA (4 years, 240 ECTS, Bac+4) offers deeper international immersion — with residencies across multiple cities, a peer-reviewed publication, a co-founded venture, and a Year 4 thesis. Three learning pathways including the multi-city IAM Track.

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

Both share PSE's entrepreneurship DNA and the same core competency framework. A Double Degree BBA + BIM is available on the International track.

Do I need to go through Parcoursup?

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

Three intakes per year: October, February and May. Applications open year-round. Response within 48–72 hours.
