Why choose the Bachelor of Science and Arts in Business?

Choosing a business school Bachelor’s is one choice among many. Choosing the BScA B means choosing a programme built differently: a foundation in philosophy, arts and science comes first, feeding into management fundamentals through real-scale simulations from the very first semester.

Why does the BScA B start with philosophy, arts and science?

Before tackling finance, marketing or strategy, BScA B students take courses in business history, philosophy of management, scientific reasoning and psychology. This approach is designed to build the ability to step back and question, rather than just technical proficiency.

What is an ATMx Lab?

Every semester of the BScA B includes one or more ATMx Labs: real-scale simulations run in small groups, where students apply what they’ve just learned to concrete situations. The intensity of these simulations increases throughout the programme, culminating in a 48-hour crisis management simulation in the final year.

Is the BScA B a full-time programme?

The BScA B is a full-time programme across all three years, with no work-study (apprenticeship) option. This is a deliberate pedagogical choice: the ATMx Labs and the mandatory campus switch in Year 2 require students’ full availability throughout the programme.

Do all BScA B students study abroad?

Unlike an optional academic exchange, international mobility is built into the BScA B by design: 100% of students experience both the Paris and Berlin campuses during their second year, with no separate exchange application required.

What does one-to-one support look like at the BScA B?

From Year 1, every BScA B student is paired with a personal tutor and their own AI companion, designed as a tool for exploring their own path — the tutor always remains the human guarantor of this relationship.

How is the Bachelor of Science and Arts in Business programme structured?

The BScA B unfolds across three years, built around one consistent progression: Question. Connect. Act.

What do you study in Year 1 of the BScA B?

Year 1 lays the groundwork: philosophy of management, business history, psychology and scientific reasoning come before technical fundamentals (marketing, accounting, finance, statistics). It includes two ATMx Labs (including the Sensorium of Management) and a first professional immersion on the factory floor, lasting a minimum of 4 weeks.

What happens in Year 2 of the BScA B, between Paris and Berlin?

Year 2 broadens the managerial perspective with courses in the sociology of organisations, geopolitics and systems thinking. Its second semester takes place entirely on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s other campus: Berlin for students who started in Paris, and vice versa.

How does Year 3 of the BScA B conclude?

The final year deepens core management teaching (leadership, strategy, finance, marketing, innovation) and features the most intensive simulation of the programme: a 48-hour crisis management exercise. The second semester is fully dedicated to an extended professional experience (12 weeks minimum) and to writing the final thesis.

Is the BScA B full-time, or is work-study available?

The BScA B runs exclusively in full-time format across all three years. No work-study (apprenticeship) option is available on this programme.

How do you get into the Bachelor of Science and Arts in Business?

The BScA B is only open for entry in Year 1, straight after secondary school. Unlike some other Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ programmes, there is no parallel entry into Year 2 or Year 3.

How do you apply to the BScA B via Parcoursup?

National applicants submit their choices via Parcoursup. Eligibility requires an overall average of 12/20 or above, along with a grade of 16/20 or above in at least two subjects in the final year of secondary school (Terminale).
Shortlisted applicants are then invited to two oral assessments:

• an English-language interview
• an individual motivation interview.

50 places are available each year through national recruitment.

How do international students apply to the BScA B?

International applicants submit their file via Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s dedicated international platform: CV, transcripts from the last two years of study, secondary school diploma, proof of English proficiency (MOI, TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS or equivalent) and video statements of motivation. 40 places are available each year through international recruitment.

Are there alternative pathways into the BScA B?

Students who have completed Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s Foundation Programme have a dedicated pathway into the BScA B, based on academic record and interview. Prior learning validation schemes (VAE and VAPP, under French regulations) may also allow entry outside the standard admissions process, subject to conditions.

Can you choose your campus (Paris or Berlin) at the BScA B?

Admitted students freely choose their Year 1 campus (Paris or Berlin). This initial choice has limited long-term impact: every student switches campuses in Year 2, regardless of where they started.

What careers can you pursue after the Bachelor of Science and Arts in Business?

The BScA B trains generalist management profiles, with an added ability to connect subjects that often remain siloed in other programmes.

What roles does the BScA B prepare you for?

• Branch or store manager
• Digital strategy officer
• Client relationship manager / wealth advisor
• Marketing or promotion officer
• Communications manager
• Export manager
