Opening up to the world
and to yourself
In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, you
likely have legitimate concerns about your future and
the choices you should make to find your place in
a constantly changing society. While there is no set
path to success, adaptability, the ability to take a
global perspective in an ever-changing environment
and to operate within multiple disciplines will surely
be essential qualities for a rewarding future career.
The educational approach of all IPAG programmes is
founded on this knowledge, including short courses
such as our BBA programme, renowned for its focus
on developing students’ professional skills and
its international dimension, demonstrated by the
option to obtain a double degree from Nottingham
Business School or the University of South Wales.
Choosing IPAG Business School is about more than
receiving an exceptional education, you will be pre-
paring yourself for career-defining experiences, with

Our partners
In three years, the BBA course allows you to obtain IPAG’s Bachelor
of Business Administration (BBA) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA with
Hons) in International Business Management from a prestigious
British university, then paving the way to all Masters in the
English-speaking world.

SOUTH WALES TRACK NOTTINGHAM TRACK

The University of South
Wales in Cardiff is the
largest university in Wales
and the 6th largest in the UK.
Divided into 5 campuses, it
has a total of over 31,000
students from 120 countries.
The range of courses on offer at this interna-
tionally renowned institution is very broad,
from design to health, including journalism, law,
political science and - of course - management.
It awards numerous undergraduate and post-
graduate degrees. The BBA at IPAG Nice is
affiliated with the BA in International Business
Management.
Unlike the partnership with Nottingham
Business School in the 3rd year of our BBA, with
the South Wales track, you can take a semes-
ter of studies at the University of South Wales
without leaving Nice. It is in some ways being
“an expat at home”. Courses will be taught
by a mix of USW visiting professors and IPAG
teachers.
At the end of this course, you will be able
to apply for Masters at the most prestigious
English speaking universities.
AACSB and EQUIS accredited, Nottingham
Business School is one of the most renowned
business schools in the UK. It is part of The
Nottingham Trent University, which has almost
25,000 students, of which, about 15% are inter-
national students.
Nottingham Business School offers a wide
range of undergraduate degrees - BA Hons
(Bachelor of Arts with Honours) - as well as a
wide range of Masters, MBA and MSc degrees.
IPAG’s BBA is linked to the BA (Hons) in
International Business Management.
The school relies on a teaching staff of nearly
350 people, with numerous facilities (library,
gym, cafeteria, computer rooms, etc.), a dense
network of partner companies (more than 600)
and, like IPAG, their motto is to support stu-
dents. IPAG BBA students, regardless of their
main campus, have the opportunity to spend
their entire 3rd year at Nottingham and, thus,
obtain a dual degree.

8
Located two hours from London, Nottingham
has 260,000 inhabitants, 60,000 of which are
students. It is famous for its nightlife and
shopping. It is also the birth place of many
sports in England.

Managers fit
to evolve in
multicultural
contexts
H
er career took her from Milan
to London, then from London to
Nice and Monaco. Raised in Italy
and trained as an economist,
Elisa Conti has been director of IPAG’s
BBA Programme since 2017. With its
international outlook, it’s a programme
that mirrors her cosmopolitan trajectory.
What can you tell us about
the BBA Programme?
Elisa CONTI IPAG’s BBA is a three-year programme
offered at our Nice campus. It is grounded in
the fundamentals of law, finance, marketing
and sales. The courses are taught entirely
in English. The goal of the programme is to
train future managers who are fit to evolve
in multicultural contexts. In their third year,
students have the option to enrol in a Top-
Up programme with two prestigious British
Universities.
Can you say more about
the Top-Up programmes?
E. C. For the students who are comfortable in
English, we offer admission to a double curric-
ulum in their 3rd year. They can opt to study for
1 0
a year at the Nottingham Business School, part
of Nottingham Trent University, one of the top-
ranked business schools in the U.K., or even take
courses offered by professors from the Univer-
sity of South Wales directly on our Nice campus.
Whatever their choice, these advanced students
will get the opportunity to apply to any British
Master Programme.
What are the admissions prerequisites
for IPAG’s BBA?
E. C. Special attention is of course paid to stu-
dents’ level in English. Given the programme’s
goals, we also try to recruit students who are
looking to pursue an international career. We
look for dynamic students with an entrepreneur-
ial mind who can strive in multi-cultural classes
and business environments. Indeed, more than
30 nationalities are represented in the BBA pro-
gramme, a level of diversity which contributes
greatly to IPAG’s reputation abroad. According
to ShanghaiRanking, since 2017, we have consist-
ently been ranked as the top 3rd best business
school in France for economic research.
What are the programme’s strengths?
E. C. In terms of a pedagogical approach, I know
that classic lecture hall courses no longer appeal
to the younger generations. Increasingly, stu-
dents need to be stimulated in different ways. By
prioritising active participation in class through
small group discussions and interactive learning
sessions, we encourage students to take owner-
ship of their own trajectories. By making ped-
agogical resources available on special course
platforms, we encourage active participation in
class through small group tutorials and interac-
tive learning sessions where students can study
the course material, independently. That way,
time spent in the classroom can be focused on
engaging problem solving and discussions with
professors. It makes it possible to offer a more
concrete learning experience and allows stu-
dents to work on cross-cutting skills, like public
speaking.
A final word of advice
for prospective students?
E. C. Be active participants in your courses, work
hard from the very first day, and use all the
resources the school puts at your disposal!

Setting
career goals
that will help
you thrive
A
corporate relations expert, Iwona
Ivanov has more than just one
talent up her sleeve. After earning
her stripes at business schools
throughout France and the United States,
she joined IPAG in 2015 as Director of the
Career Center. Her mission: to advise
students throughout their academic
trajectories and contribute to their
professional success.
What is the Career Center’s mission?
Iwona IVANOV IPAG’s Career Center supports
students in developing their professional
goals. The objective is to help every student
find the career that best suits their personality,
where they will thrive best. To make that happen,
a number of tools and services are available
to students as a complement to their studies.
What kinds of tools and services?
I. I. Two major seminars are presented each year:
the IPAG Starting Blocks, which is primarily for
students in the Bachelor and BBA Programmes,
1 8
and the IPAG Booster Days for the Master’s
students in the Grande École Programme. At
these events, students can choose the work-
shops they would like to attend, such as: stress
management, public speaking, job search and
networking strategies and so on. We prioritise
an informal, interactive style to encourage a
back-and-forth between students and visitors.
In addition, interactive resources are regularly
posted on the Career Center’s website, like:
corporate videos, guidance in the form of
sample CVs and cover letters, as well as job
and internship opportunities.
You really emphasise students’
personal development.
How do you facilitate that?
I. I. In addition to workshops, every student
benefits from personalised counselling that
enables them to evaluate their skills regularly.
Twice a year, students meet with a human
resources expert that they choose, themselves.
It’s an opportunity for them to take skills and
personality tests as well as to talk through
their first professional experiences. The goal is
to locate their strengths and sources of moti-
vation as they find their way into their careers
as managers.
You invite a number of companies
to participate.
I. I. Our network is one of our strengths. Almost
300 companies — CAC 40 corporations, small
and midsized companies, start-ups — recruit
each year at IPAG. Career Days and Start-up
Days frequently transform our campuses into
big networking spaces where students and
recruiters can meet. That gives students the
opportunity to hone their knowledge of the job
market. In addition, a Curriculum Improvement
Committee, consisting of our pedagogical
teams and fifteen partner executives, meets
twice a year to evaluate our programmes’
pedagogical content and adapt them to the
constantly evolving demands of the job mar-
ket. From that point of view, IPAG is on the
cutting edge.

The
opportunity
to have a
double degree
H
aving entered directly into the
second year of the programme,
Louise Rousseau is finishing
her end-of-the-year internship
at Spotimplant and is getting ready to join
IPAG’s Grande École Programme to pursue
further studies.
Your academic background started off
in the sciences, tell us about it...
Louise ROUSSEAU After receiving my high school
diploma where I specialised in the sciences,
especially agronomics and food-processing,
I decided to move in a different direction with
my studies and broaden my skills.
Why did you choose a business school,
and more specifi cally, a Bachelor
of Business Administration (BBA)?
L.R. I needed a new dynamic, to be able to
follow my studies with more room for a strategic
2 6
outlook, creativity and an entrepreneurial
spirit in comparison to the hard sciences. After
two signifi cant experiences abroad, I wanted
to also pursue an international path and
obtain an internationally-recognised degree.
How have your fi rst months been
at IPAG?
L.R. First of all, I was very happy to study in a
small, but cosmopolitan year group. In the BBA
programme, there are students from all over
the world and we do a lot of work together as
a group. This allows us to understand each
other’s outlooks and cultural norms and to
work in an international environment.
You also just obtained your
“double degree”...
L.R. Yes, after Paris I went to the Nice campus
for my third year to obtain a double degree
offered in tandem with the University of South
Wales. There, I had the opportunity carry out a
real interdisciplinary research project on
human resources, international marketing,
business strategy, etc. It was a very edu-
cational experience and the knowledge I
acquired allowed me to be calm and confident
in my professional experiences.
And now, you’re doing your
end-of-the-year internship?
L.R. Exactly, I am Head of Digital Marketing at
Spotimplant, a start-up in health tech that
develops AI solutions for dental surgeons.
Day to day, I get to use both my science back-
ground and the marketing skills that I devel-

A unique
experience
in France
A
t the age of 25, Eduardo Bedolla
arrived from the United States
to study at IPAG’s Nice campus.
Today, he is ready to sign his first
work contract, just a few weeks before
obtaining his degree.
Tell us about your experiences before
coming to IPAG...
Eduardo BEDOLLA I am American and I studied
in California at Southwest High School and
then Southwestern College in San Diego. Then,
I went to Canada to get certified in French from
the University of Quebec.
And how did you learn about our school?
E.B. I was looking for a French school to pursue
my studies and it turns out that one of my
friends had enrolled at IPAG in Riverside. He
told me about the quality of the classes and the
diverse student body. So, I did a lot of research
on the school. Its reputation and location of its
campuses in France won me over.

Why did you choose the BBA
programme?
E.B. I was considering a career in international
business and management so this fairly gen-
eral programme, all in English, with a multicul-
tural year group worked perfectly for me. Also,
I knew that this training would allow me to find
work directly after obtaining my degree.
How is your internship going?
E.B. I am working for a business called
Scorechain, which is based in Luxembourg
and is specialised in crypto-currency and
developing tools to fight money laundering. I
am in charge of business development for the
markets in North-America, South-America and
Spain.
And what’s next? Do you think you’ll
go back to the US?
E.B. Actually, I just received an offer for a per-
manent contract from Scorechain. I am very
happy with this proposition that arrived just
before I finish my degree. I really like the idea
of evolving within this company. I feel com-
fortable as a Business Developer and I want
to continue being in contact with international
clients.
What did you value most from
your time at IPAG?
E.B. I loved my time spent in the French Riviera,
the professionalism of the professors and par-
ticularly, the guest lecturers from the business
world, the way they conveyed their experi-
ences and how they had us work on concrete
cases. And then, I came for the multicultural
environment and I was not disappointed. In
Nice, I met people from all around the world. It
was a special experience.
