1.A.Course objectives and career prospects

This course is designed for French and foreign university
students who wish to obtain academic recognition in France while studying abroad.

Students also acquire a sound knowledge of international trade so that they may become immediately operational in the workplace.

1.B.Qualifications for entry

Students must have spent at least 2 years at university
level and are admitted following the study of application forms by an admissions jury.

1.C.Curriculum

Students from a French university

• either spend one year in a foreign university
• or they spend one semester at the IAE followed by a semester in a foreign university and compulsory work placement

2/ Foreign students attending the course in Montpellier:

• either spend one semester at the IAE ending with the transcripts of grades
• or one semester at the IAE followed by a semester in a European university and a
work placement
• or two semesters at the IAE

Diploma-seeking students may choose between :

• completing a work placement in industry
• or the writing and defending of a dissertation under the responsibility of a tutor.

Should students want to stay on during the Spring semester, they will then have developed sufficient
competency in French to be able to follow classes with French students and take the Diploma in International Business.

Alternatively, the 2nd semester can be spent in
one of our partner universities spread out in European
countries (fees during the 2nd semester abroad depend on the host university selected).

the workload of an academic semester (30 credits) or year (60 credits). It is the equivalent of a 15-credit
