Presentation

The IPAG Bachelor's Degree in Management is a three-year degree program accredited by the French government, awarding a Bachelor's Degree at the three campuses in Paris, Nice, and Thionville-Luxembourg.

It is open to students who have completed their high school diploma via Parcoursup or through parallel admission after completing their first year of university or after two years of higher education (BTS or Bachelor's Degree 2). This program, registered in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP) under code 37968, corresponds to a level 6 professional certification. It allows you to obtain the Higher Education Diploma in Management awarded by IPAG Business School.

Highly valued by recruiters for its professional focus, this program offers solid, general training in management and business. It allows students to acquire the skills necessary to enter the professional world after graduation or to continue their studies in a master's program.

The first two years are devoted to acquiring general knowledge in management and administration (core curriculum). They provide a comprehensive overview of how a company operates, offer initial professional and international experience, teach effective working methods, and help students define their professional and personal goals before choosing a professional or sector-specific specialization in the third year, either as a full-time or work-study program.
