International MBA in Paris — Your Questions, Answered

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, investment frameworks, AI-powered technology governance, and institutional diplomacy. Students choose from 5 core specialization majors and graduate with a peer-reviewed publication in IJABER, a verified professional portfolio, and a live investor pitch record.

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 international hubs, 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.

What career opportunities follow the International MBA? +

Graduates pursue strategic global roles such as Chief Executive Officer, Brand Strategy Director, Investment Banking Associate, Global Policy & Relations Director, Chief Growth Officer, and M&A Deal Lead across multinational corporations, consulting firms, financial institutions, fast-growing startups, and international organisations. Career options are directly calibrated around your choice of major and concentration.

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 an Erasmus+ partner (OID E10422003). All graduates leave with a peer-reviewed IJABER publication (ISSN 3077-2273), reinforcing the academic standing of the credential worldwide.

Can I work while studying? +

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. Practical projects, real consulting missions, and an integrated investor pitch enhance employability and ensure professional integration alongside study.

What specialization tracks are available? +

The International MBA features 5 core majors: Strategic Marketing & Growth, Finance & Private Equity, AI & Technological Innovation, International Relations & Diplomacy, and Management & Agile Leadership. Across these majors, students can customize their curriculum with 25 tailored concentrations (minors) including Product-Led Growth, FinTech, Applied Generative AI, Geopolitical Risk Analysis, and Supply Chain Resilience.

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 (Advanced BAC+8 Framework) — either the executive DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) for senior practitioners focused on corporate scaling, or research-focused doctoral fellowships for academics and policy advisors across International Relations, Geopolitical Risk, and Global Governance.

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. Active Blended Learning 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.
