As a triple-accredited institution holding EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA recognition, ICN Business School belongs to the top one per cent of business schools worldwide to achieve this distinction. This global benchmark of academic quality immediately signals institutional credibility, international recognition and rigorous standards.

For students seeking structured business education directly after high school, the three-year bachelor’s in management – delivered in Paris and Nancy – provides comprehensive grounding in economics, law, accounting, finance, marketing, management and digital tools. “It is intended for students who wish to enter business education directly after high school and build a structured, comprehensive understanding of how organisations operate,” explains Parisa Dolati, assistant professor at ICN.

A defining feature of ICN is its art, technology and management model, an interdisciplinary approach that connects management fundamentals with creativity and innovation. By fostering cross-disciplinary thinking and collaboration, the bachelor’s equips students with the adaptability, analytical agility and strategic mindset required in today’s interconnected and fast-moving business world. This distinctive pedagogy differentiates ICN from more traditional management programmes and reflects its long-standing commitment to interdisciplinary education.

Employability is embedded throughout the undergraduate experience. Students benefit from internships, company-led projects, case competitions and interaction with industry professionals across sectors. The curriculum integrates real-world business challenges, ensuring that theoretical learning is consistently applied in practical contexts. International exchange opportunities further enhance students’ profiles, allowing them to gain exposure to diverse markets and academic environments.

These elements translate into measurable outcomes. According to ICN’s latest data, 100 per cent of bachelor’s in management graduates secured employment within six months of graduation, with an average gross annual salary of €33,925 (£29,500). These figures provide tangible evidence of return on investment and demonstrate the programme’s effectiveness in preparing students for the labour market.

Meanwhile, ICN’s international bachelor’s in business – launched in 2025 – is a four-year programme delivered in English exclusively on the Berlin campus. The English-language environment, found in one of Europe’s most dynamic and entrepreneurial capitals, is a strong differentiating factor for internationally minded students seeking complete immersion. The programme is designed to develop global business expertise through academic rigour, practical engagement and extensive international mobility.

Students benefit from Berlin’s vibrant start-up ecosystem while building networks with international scholars and professionals. “Teaching is delivered by permanent faculty who integrate their current research into the curriculum, ensuring academic depth and contemporary relevance,” says Dolati. “In addition, selected modules involve industry professionals, maintaining a clear connection with current business practice.”

Blended learning across both programmes allows students to reinforce knowledge through digital resources, while campus life contributes to a diverse and engaging student experience. Numerous student-led associations enable participants to manage projects, organise events and develop leadership competencies alongside their studies.

Comprehensive career support further enhances student outcomes. ICN’s Career Centre provides personalised coaching, workshops, networking events and guidance in securing internships and early career opportunities. Close relationships with corporate partners facilitate company projects, professional seminars and recruitment events, reinforcing students’ transition into the workforce.

Three essential elements define ICN’s undergraduate offering: a solid academic foundation; early and structured professional exposure; and the credibility associated with triple accreditation. Graduates leave ICN not only with recognised academic credentials but also with the professional readiness, intercultural competence and strategic mindset to succeed in international business environments.
