1st Year
The basics of management
At the start of the course, you will learn the fundamentals of management. You will also develop your communication skills and self-confidence.
At IPAG Business School, in order to provide everyone with a solid foundation of knowledge, the 1st year is devoted to acquiring the fundamentals of management. Commerce, management, economics and business law are all part of the basic culture of a future manager.
2nd Year
Project-based working
You've got the basics down. Now you can expand your knowledge and work on your first projects. You'll develop your listening and dialogue skills, as well as your organisational abilities.
Having covered a large number of subjects in 1st year, students go into greater depth on some of them and explore new ones. At the same time, they continue to develop the interpersonal skills that are essential for management positions. They also sit the IA Certificate with Aivancity.
3rd Year
Opening up to the world
At IPAG Business School, the 3rd year is your ticket to an unforgettable international adventure. Study, internship, volunteering... You have the opportunity to shape a year rich in discoveries, both personal and professional. It's the ideal opportunity to explore new cultures, develop your adaptability skills, master new professional practices, improve your language skills and earn a Bachelor's degree or Certificate from a prestigious partner university.
4th Year
Leadership and management
In Master 1, students build on what they have learnt in the 1st cycle with more advanced core courses and specialise in one of the 7 areas on offer, in line with their career plans.
5th Year
Specialisation and dual degrees
The final year of the Master's programme is the year of specialisation itself, in one of the 11 specialisations offered by IPAG. It is also the opportunity to obtain a French double degree with our partner, the Institut Catholique de Paris, or an international double degree with a semester of study in one of our many partner schools or universities abroad.
