Why this program
ICN Business School’s International BBA is the four-year pathway for students who want to study abroad in Paris with an international management education. The track available now is the Paris La Défense campus (not Berlin): predominantly English-taught delivery, September intake and official tuition of €9,900/year per ICN (2).pdf 2026-2027, with Excellence Academy scholarships up to 20%.
What sets this BBA apart is the 4th-year English specialisation. After two foundation years and a 3rd-year exchange or double degree with ICN’s network of 130–140 partner universities, you choose one of these four tracks:
4th year available specialisations (English)
| Specialisation | | --- | | International Luxury Management | | Business & Data Management | | International Corporate Finance | | International Business Development |
That final-year specialisation helps you leave Paris already oriented toward luxury, data, international corporate finance or business development.
With the AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA triple crown, a €4,000 deductible deposit (ICN Info.pdf) and B2 English / EF test path, the International BBA lets you study abroad for a BBA in the French capital — Paris only for this intake (no Berlin campus).

Program overview
ICN Business School’s International BBA is a four-year degree for international students who want to study abroad in Paris La Défense. This bachelor’s is not available in Berlin at this time. It is delivered in Paris only, with predominantly English-taught delivery, a September intake and tuition of €9,900/year (ICN (2).pdf 2026-2027), under the AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA triple crown.
Why year 4 is the heart of the programme
Years one and two build international management in English (economics, finance, marketing, operations, intercultural negotiation and data). Year three is international mobility (exchange or double degree with partner universities). Year four concentrates the professional specialisation — the moment the BBA stops being “generalist” and becomes a market-ready profile.
4th year available specialisations (English)
These are the official tracks when comparing study-abroad options:
| Specialisation | Focus |
|---|---|
| International Luxury Management | premium brands, international retail and luxury management |
| Business & Data Management | business analytics, data and evidence-based decisions |
| International Corporate Finance | cross-border corporate finance and international markets |
| International Business Development | market expansion, subsidiaries and international growth |
Choosing one of these four 4th-year specialisations is the decision that most defines your CV when you graduate in Paris.

Paris · France
Paris spreads Sorbonne universities, grandes écoles, business schools and art institutes across arrondissements. RER and Metro passes (Navigo) are essential; student housing via CROUS is limited — private studios and colocations fill early.
Many programs require B2 French; business schools may teach in English. Campus France procedures and visa de long séjour étudiant steps apply before arrival — allow time for campus interviews and OFII registration.
ApplySite supports direct applications to verified institutions. Pair this page with our France country guide.
International student associations, country meetups and campus sports fill out your network in Paris during term one. Ask admissions about orientation — it often covers a local SIM, banking basics and library access.

The institution
About the university
About the university
ICN Business School — also known as ICN Artem — is one of France's oldest and most recognized management grandes écoles, founded in 1905 with more than 120 years of history developing executives and global entrepreneurs. Holding the triple-crown AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA accreditation — a distinction earned by only the top 1% of business schools worldwide — ICN delivers academic standards verified by the three most demanding international bodies in the sector. For Latin American students who prioritize institutional security when deciding where to study abroad, this combination is a decisive signal. ICN is not a conventional university: its signature #ATM (Art, Technology, Management) pedagogy starts from the premise that twenty-first-century business challenges require executives capable of creative thinking, mastery of advanced technology, and management of complex organizations. That combination — art, technology, and management — runs through every program, from the Bachelor to specialized master's degrees, setting ICN graduates apart in the European and international labor market. The school counts approximately 24,000 active alumni across more than 40 countries and 130–140 partner universities for international mobility programs.
Paris La Défense, Nancy Artem, and Berlin Moabit: three strategic…
Paris La Défense campus — Immeuble Étoile, Bâtiment G, 76 Route de la Demi-Lune, 92800 Puteaux. In the heart of continental Europe's most important financial district, the Paris campus connects students to CAC 40 headquarters, international investment banks, and European institutions. Studying at La Défense means integrating lectures, corporate visits, and professional networking with the largest concentration of multinationals in France within a ten-minute radius. Nancy Artem campus — 86 rue du Sergent Blandan, 54003 Nancy. ICN's founding campus operates within the ARTEM university cluster, a unique ecosystem integrating ICN Business School, the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art et Design de Nancy, and the École des Mines de Nancy. This three-way alliance embodies the #ATM pedagogy in its purest form: business, design, and engineering students work together on interdisciplinary projects throughout the entire program, generating profiles that few institutions can replicate. Berlin Moabit campus — Alt-Moabit 96, 10559 Berlin (opened 2025). English-taught postgraduate pathways (e.g. MSc (DESSMI) family and Master in Management per live offer). The International BBA is not available in Berlin at this time. After graduation in Germany, international graduates may access the 18-month job-search residence permit.
#ATM pedagogy: ICN's academic differentiator The
#ATM (Art, Technology, Management) methodology is not an abstract theoretical framework: it is the structural backbone defining how learning happens at ICN. Programs integrate creative projects applied to real management challenges, design thinking workshops, collaborations with artists and technologists, and company cases linking aesthetic vision to operational efficiency. This transdisciplinary training prepares graduates for leadership roles where creativity and data coexist: luxury, fintech, sustainability, digital marketing, entrepreneurship, and strategic consulting. The result is a differentiated market profile: an ICN graduate does not just master finance or marketing — they can lead multidisciplinary teams, communicate to diverse audiences, and adapt to high-uncertainty environments with an open, analytical mindset.
