International Business

The priority of this programme is to establish close ties with companies that enhance student employability after completion of their MSc in International Business. In fact, 99% of our students find a job within six months of graduating. In order to continue to facilitate these connections with industry, our international programme features practical group work as a key component.

During this time, students must create:
• A global business plan: create a real or imaginary company and define a business plan demonstrating international development. At the end of their project, students present it to a jury of potential investors. This can be an exciting launch opportunity for students who have a real project or business they want to see grow.
• A strategy case: students work on several international strategy case studies and propose areas for improvement. At the end of the project, they present their strategic recommendations to a jury, who award a winner.

KEDGE Business School's Master of Science MSc in International Business, delivering a 5-year higher education diploma, prepares students for not only the technical aspects, but also for the negotiation and behavioural dimensions through soft skills, teamwork, regular oral presentations, etc.

The MSc programme in International Business does not necessarily include an internship abroad or university exchange. However, this Master of Science programme, offered in Bordeaux and Marseille, includes a significant international dimension directly on campus:

To begin with, the programme is taught entirely in English from the first year. This usually provides students with a sufficient level of competency needed to get the most from the programme and grasp the subtleties around the specific vocabulary of international trade.

Also, courses are taught by experienced teachers from around the world who bring their own culture and viewpoints into the mix.

Furthermore, around 50% of students taking courses on our campuses are from international backgrounds – further adding to the cultural diversity of the international business programme.

Since geopolitics is now involved in the strategy of large companies, our International Business degree devotes one of its core courses to this specific topic.

The MSc in International Business includes a six-month internship in a company. This internship can be carried out in France or abroad, depending on the student's professional and personal aspirations. In the two-year programme, which has two additional semesters at the beginning, students can organise a second internship also in France or abroad.
