Bachelor in International Business (BIB)

About the course

A three-year business degree taught in English at IÉSEG’s Lille or Paris La Défense campus. It mixes theory and applied courses in international business and management, built on four strands: management basics, market-focused specialisations, personal development and a career programme. A capstone project ties into your chosen specialisation. You complete three internships (at least 8–10 months in total) and a compulsory international experience, such as an exchange semester, an internship abroad or a gap year. Double degrees and an optional third-year apprenticeship are available. The degree is state-recognised (visa Bac+3) and carries the French grade de licence.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• You need to have finished secondary school, with maths taken up to your final year. IÉSEG does not publish a specific Leaving Cert grade rule; files are assessed individually.
• Maths up to the final year of school is required.
• English: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 85, TOEIC 850, Duolingo 115 or Cambridge B2 (slightly lower scores may be considered). Native speakers and students whose last two years of school were in English are exempt, so most Irish students will not need a test.
• Selection is on your application file: transcripts, CV, an online motivation video and (optional) SAT and a reference letter. No written entrance exam is listed for international applicants.
