Introducing IPAG Business School in Europe

A word from the Director

IPAG's mission is to train responsible managers capable of adapting to a globalised world marked by numerous developments such as digital transformation and ecological transition.

Against this backdrop, IPAG's teaching programme is supported by fully committed administrative and teaching teams and a number of areas of expertise:

  • Close ties with companies, which means that our programmes are perfectly aligned with their needs, as well as offering a wide range of internships and work-study placements, enabling students to gradually build up their career plans;
  • Opening up students to cultural diversity, as a result of the large number of international students on our campuses and the many opportunities to study abroad;
  • Raising students' awareness of societal and ethical issues, as well as diversity of knowledge, adopting a multidisciplinary approach;
  • Nationally and internationally recognised faculty and research, as evidenced by the school's regular inclusion in the Shanghai rankings, enable us to continually enrich our teaching methods and offer cutting-edge courses.

This expertise benefits all IPAG programmes. The Grande École Programme (GEP) is accredited by the French government, and its diploma is recognised as a Master's degree. Since 2017, it has also benefited from the prestigious EFMD international accreditation. Its Bachelor's degree is also state-approved.

Founded in 1965, with an alumni network of more than 14,000 graduates, IPAG is an Établissement d’Enseignement Supérieur d’Intérêt Général (EESPIG, i.e., higher education establishment of general interest), the aim of which is to reinvest all its resources in the success of its students.

Joining IPAG means joining a community and tried-and-tested educational project. It also means being sure of finding your place in the world to come. see you soon.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
Olivier Maillard, Managing Director of IPAG Group

The board members of directors are divided into working committees, some of which are specifically in charge of a group.

An ordinary general meeting of the adhering members of the APE is convened at least once a year. On this occasion, school officials are in attendance to give an update on the different year groups and answer any questions.
