We will soon be sharing information about our forthcoming Open Days on the Paris campus.
The IPAG Experience
Explore new horizons...
Within the framework of so-called Culture and Discovery path, the IPAG allows you to learn about disciplines other than management and to develop your creativity.
Presentation
"The Culture and Discovery Pathways are an academic initiation to various fields of the humanities and the arts: history, music, theatre, literature, political science, philosophy, communication, anthropology, geopolitics and visual creation... It is a mainstay of the ipagian education which provides our students with a cultural awareness and enables them to have a critical and analytical view of the challenges in the world today.
A few examples of courses...
Architecture and modernity
Information warfare
History of cinema
Introduction to the major religious traditions
Introduction to Psychology and Psychoanalysis
Behind the scenes of the French touch
Behind the scenes of the media
Mythology and superheroes
Health, geography, and economics
Explore new horizons...
Get out of your confort zone...
The X'treme trails of the Grande École Programme are an invitation to going beyond your limits, through unprecedented real-life situations.
Presentation
Solidarity and going beyond limits are both fundamental values of management as well as the life of any company. Since we believe that these values, at IPAG, have to be taught to our students, we made sure to include some of these experiences from the very beginning of the Programme Grande École. During a week, you are encouraged to dive into an unknown environment for a survival course in the mountain or a cybersecurity simulation, for instance. Confronted to complex conditions, you have to adapt quickly and take on unexpected responsibilities.
A few examples of X'treme experiences...
- Adrenalin (skydiving, multi-sport adventure, via ferrata)
- Survival courses (extreme cold, trapping, sea fishing and diving)
- Military training (gendarmerie, National Reserve)
- Humanitarian work (Petits Frères des Pauvres, SOS Chrétiens d'Orient, Association Tandem, Emmaüs Défi...)
Get out of your confort zone...
Here are a few examples of the experiments on offer...
Military training courses (gendarmerie, National Reserve)
Humanitarian commitment (Petits Frères des Pauvres, SOS Chrétiens d'Orient, etc.)
Be part of a community
Studying at a Grande École often allows students to forge unbreakable bonds with their fellow students.
Some examples of the experiments on offer...
The Green Day
Ethics and the Environment Day is dedicated to sustainable development in action and the circular and collaborative economy, with the aim of raising awareness among students and providing them with practical examples of sustainable development in their everyday lives, as well as a host of innovations.
The integration weekend
A few weeks after the start of the school year, you're off for the not-to-be-missed integration weekend. For three days, you take part in sports and fun activities: pool party, foam party, etc. Organised by the Student Office, each year in a different location (Arcachon Basin, Var, Ardèche, etc.).
The end-of-year gala
The high point of student life, the graduation ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the end of your studies alongside your fellow students, teachers and friends...
F.I.V.E: Go for it and join your school
At the start of the new academic year in September, all 1st year students are welcomed by the Head of Teaching and 2nd year students during the F.I.V.E., to take their first steps at IPAG.
Graduation ceremony
Relive the highlights of the IPAG Business School 2024 International Programs Graduation Ceremony. This prestigious event celebrated the academic achievements and exceptional journeys of our international graduates.
RISE TO THE CHALLENGES OF BUSINESS
Because our teaching methods are also based on practical learning, your course at IPAG will include a number of Business Games.
Each year, students take part in several Business Games. These are practical cases submitted by IPAG's partner companies, to which the students, divided into teams, must respond collectively. The students work together for three, four or five days.
They also present their case to a panel of judges as a group. These Business Games enable students to put their managerial skills into practice and test the know-how and interpersonal skills they will need in their future profession.
RISE TO THE CHALLENGES OF BUSINESS
Here are some examples of challenges...
Nice Business Challenge
The aim of this Business Game is to organise a trade fair to promote and market a partner company's product. Over the course of a week, this challenge requires you to demonstrate real team spirit, dynamism and creativity, and gives you the chance to put your skills to work on a practical project.
#Negoc’IPAG
Each year during the #Negoc'IPAG competition, four to six companies submit a commercial negotiation case to our 5th year students. After 2.5 hours of preparation, you will negotiate in front of a panel of experienced professionals.
Business Game
In addition to the challenges organised at IPAG, our students also take part in Business Games outside the school, against teams from other schools. In October 2019, IPAG students won the Sustainable Beauty Challenge, organised by Cosmetic Valley with the LVMH group, after an intense hackathon involving 900 participants.
IPAG XTREM
Rock climbing, survival courses in the forest or mountains, skydiving, military training... every year for one week, our first-year students can choose to take part in unique experiences to develop their soft skills! This is an opportunity to test their ability to take risks and adapt quickly to new situations. Faced with challenging conditions, they will step outside their comfort zone and learn to push themselves for the benefit of the group, with the aim of experiencing the concepts of commitment and solidarity.
