Why study at a business school in Nice?
Our campus in Nice
The Nice–Côte d’Azur region offers an ideal environment for higher education and professional life. It is home to Université Côte d’Azur, the Sophia Antipolis technology park, and more than 5,500 companies.
While IPAG, like many leading French business schools, was founded in Paris in the mid-1960s, it chose Nice as the location for its second campus in 1989. As the only post-secondary institution in the academy to offer a recognised five-year Master’s degree, IPAG provides programmes in both initial education and work-study formats, ranging from two-year to five-year degrees. A historic business school on the Côte d’Azur, IPAG has forged strong partnerships with the Sophia Antipolis technology park and a wide network of partner companies.
