BBA: Purpose and principles of the Bachelor of Business Administration

What is a BBA?

The BBA is a bachelor's degree, a three-year course intended for bachelors and students who are looking for an international dimension to their professional project. Dispensed by internationally renowned Grandes Ecoles, the hallmarks of the BBA are innovation, professionalisation and internationality.

The BBA is also a vocational diploma: the majority of the schools offering this program include a professional experience to be approved in order to obtain the diploma. This aspect of the program is crucial and justifies its excellent rate of insertion in the professional world.

Lastly, due to its North American origins, the BBA curriculum is based on fun and participatory teaching.

What's the difference between Bachelor and a BBA?

Although these two bachelor's degrees are mainly held at universities of applied sciences and the BBA curriculum is similar to a conventional bachelor's degree, the special feature is the emphasis on internationalisation.

Although the BBA is taught by schools with a large network of partner universities, some BBA students are even led, according to their preferences, to spend a semester or a year in an international institution in order to acquire a unique, cultural and rich experience (professional or academic).

The BBA is mainly taught entirely in English and is therefore addressed to an English-speaking public or those with an excellent command of English.

Finally, the admission procedure for a BBA will not be the same as for a Bachelor's degree: a minimum language proficiency level and an international professional project are recommended. Admissions for this programme are challenging and it is this selectiveness that is also recognised by recruiters.
