IESEG School of Management

“Grande Ecole” Programme

IESEG: experts in the 5 year programme

In 1978 IESEG became the “pioneers” in the 5 year “Grande Ecole” programme. It is one of the very few schools to have a 3 year Bachelor in Business Administration programme followed by a 2 year Masters of Science in Management.

This type of course structure offers many advantages such as:

  • It is standardised to meet the requirements of international criteria, makes exchanges easier and allows courses to be recognised by our partner universities.
  • Introduction of courses taught in English from the 1st year , allowing for an international mind-set early in the cursus.
  • Allows the students to acquire knowledge over 5 years in the main business areas: Management, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Information Systems
  • Access to 4 obligatory internships that will enhance their “know-how” both nationally and internationally in that they must spend a least 4 months abroad on an internship.
  • Personal development programme in many areas such as: group work, creativity, facility to adapt and communicate…
  • Possibility of taking part in student exchange programmes between the 2nd and 5th year of the cursus. 80% of the students take part in these exchanges.
  • The presence of the academic faculty and foreign students.

After the 5 year cursus an IESEG student is able to:

  • be operational as a junior manager
  • understand the strategy of a company
  • contribute to change within the firm
  • to be aware of ethical and intercultural issues
