IPAG, Institut de préparation à l'Administration et à la Gestion, is a well-reputed Business School. IPAG delivers a Higher Education diploma in Management accredited by the French Ministry of National Education at the end of five years of study: three years of training on the fundamentals of Management and Business (first phase of studies), followed by two years of specialisation (second phase of studies) in the main business professions.
IPAG, an offshoot of the Collège des sciences sociales et économiques, was founded in 1965 by Jacques Rueff. It is a private Higher Education Institute whose governance is comprised of 3 decision-making bodies: the board of directors (which includes Parents and Alumni), the Executive Committee and an Oversight Committee responsible for maintaining and improving academic standards (scientific orientation body).
Alternating theoretical and practical based studies with in-company training periods prepares our future graduates effectively for work life.
Located in both Paris and Nice, IPAG has signed student exchange agreements with over 90 internationally reputed Business Schools abroad. Students can complete part of their program abroad and obtain a double diploma.
IPAG students are highly-appreciated by companies as they are operational in at least two business languages and possess a strong entrepreneurial spirit and capacity to undertake entrepreneurial activities. They are capable of operating as executive managers within a multicultural environment.
IPAG has an original educational approach which is embodied through individual supervision throughout the student’s training. The teaching staff encourage and help students develop the spirit of initiative, the ability to adapt, strong inter-personal skills and a sense of responsibility in order to make them high-performing and operational professionals.
