The Master of Science in International Business is a 15 month, full English language program,
designed for high-potential students with little or no professional experience.
The objective is to provide you with the technical and behavioural skills leading to a mana-
gement career at the international level.
In order to train managers able and ready to take on the challenges
of a career at the international level, we build on the diversity of
backgrounds and cultures of our student body to help you widen
your horizons and enjoy a truly cosmopolitan experience. With this
exclusive international focus, our programme courses offer an inno-
vative, interactive and participative approach based on lectures,
seminars, case studies and group discussions. You benefit from
small class sizes and close personal attention from the instructors.
With an average of 90 hours of class per month, the programme
leaves you time to carry out personal projects such as: in-depth work
on the courses, early production of a thesis, part-time internship,
involvement in applied research projects with corporate partners,
involvement in student associations and, of course, the discovery of
Brittany and other interesting parts of France and Europe.
A free course of beginner level French as a Foreign Language is
included in the curriculum. General and intensive French courses,
as well as private lessons at intermediate and advanced levels are
available at a fee at our partner language school CIEL Bretagne

2. testimonial
“As a student of the International Business
programme, I had the opportunity to do an
internship during my studies. I worked as an
intern at Cache-Coeur, a local firm specialized
in maternity and nursing lingerie. I worked
part-time from November until May and then
full-time from June to December. I learned
the French business culture and was able to
implement the knowledge I was gaining from
school. Working for a small firm was a great
opportunity. The atmosphere was very human
and I really felt like I was part of the firm.
Exports developed very well. Cache-Coeur
now has a partnership with the programme
to further their international development.”
