Everything you need to know about the International MBA at Paris School of Entrepreneurship (PSE) — admissions, format, tuition, scholarships, and career outcomes for ambitious international students.

What is the International MBA at Paris School of Entrepreneurship? +

The International MBA is a globally-oriented Master's programme (BAC+5 — 120 ECTS) delivered in English in the heart of Paris. Designed for ambitious professionals ready to lead complex international organisations, it combines global management, innovation, AI-powered business intelligence, and entrepreneurship.

Who can apply to the International MBA programme? +

The programme welcomes graduates holding a Bachelor's degree (BAC+3) or equivalent from any discipline, as well as professionals seeking to accelerate their global career. International applicants are particularly encouraged. Non-native English speakers undergo an English proficiency interview to ensure readiness for the fully English-taught curriculum. Prior professional experience and international exposure are valued, though not always required.

How long is the programme and what is the format? +

The International MBA is a 2-year programme (120 ECTS) delivered in a blended format: 60% online and 40% in-person. Students choose one of three pathways: Parcours Paris (on-site & online in Paris), International Academic Mobility (IAM) across Paris and three international cities, or Global Digital Scholar (100% online from anywhere in the world). Three intakes are offered each year: October (main intake), February, and May.

What are the tuition fees and financing options? +

Tuition for the International MBA is €15,500 per academic year, with a deposit of €2,000. Flexible installment plans, standard and state-guaranteed student loans, and merit-based scholarships are available. PSE offers up to 25% merit-based scholarships, plus need-based aid, international student aid, and transfer student aid — apply early as awards are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis from February 1st.

What is the admission process? +

Admission follows a four-step process: (1) complete the online application in less than 15 minutes, (2) submit your supporting documents (academic transcripts, degree certificates, letter of recommendation, CV, signed school charter, and information form), (3) receive a pre-admission notification, and (4) finalise enrolment. A motivation interview and English proficiency assessment complete the process. Applications are reviewed personally and a response is sent within 7 days.

Sectors include technology, finance, luxury, hospitality, sustainability, FinTech, and international trade.

Is the International MBA internationally recognised? +

Yes. The International MBA at PSE is a French diploma at BAC+5 level (120 ECTS), taught fully in English to ensure global career readiness. PSE operates under the academic supervision of the Académie de Paris (Région académique Île-de-France), and is registered as Erasmus+ partner (OID E10422003).

Yes. The blended format combines 60% online and 40% in-person, allowing professionals to continue working while completing the International MBA. Both Full-time and Part-time options are available.

Additional concentrations are available, including Sustainable Business Development, Digital Business, Brand Management, Investment & Wealth, Hospitality & Tourism, and more.

Is a Double Degree available? +

Yes. International MBA students can combine their programme with the Master in International Management (MIM) through a Double Degree pathway — completed over 5 academic semesters with an Internship or Thesis option. This grants two internationally recognised diplomas at a preferential rate, expanding both career mobility and global academic reach.

Can I pursue further studies after the International MBA? +

Yes. Graduates can pursue PSE's Doctoral Programs (BAC+8) — either the DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) for senior executives focused on applied research and real-world business impact, or research-focused doctoral tracks for academics, researchers, and policy advisors across International Relations, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, International Business & Power Structures, and Public Policy & International Development.

What makes PSE different from other international MBA programmes? +

Beyond a recognised French diploma, every PSE student leaves with three distinctive credentials: a peer-reviewed publication in IJABER (ISSN 3077-2273), a verified professional portfolio, and a live investor pitch record before a real VC panel. The Active Blended Learning methodology centres on real ventures, real consulting projects, and real publications — not simulations. Paris is your campus, with seminars hosted in prestigious institutions including the Collège de France, Cité Universitaire Internationale, and École d'économie de Paris.
