A classic and innovative curriculum

A classic curriculum- Any business school now consists of two phases in its curriculum. The first phase, involving general and conventional business studies, takes place within the first three years. It gives students the fundamentals of management. This is the first cycle, corresponding to the level License. The second phase corresponds to a second cycle, the master level which takes place in two years. It is designed to give the students the opportunity to specialise within their favoured business functional routes. They choose their specialty in the fourth year and further develop this specialisation in the fifth year. True to its general purpose, Ipag prepares students in key functions, and business management areas.

An innovative curriculum- Ipag has chosen to give each of its years a clear aim and a focal point right from the start. Objectives: To enable students to better connect functions together (eg, marketing, graphic design and communication), but also systematically involve the theory and practice as each year includes a course corresponding to the objective of the year. In combination with these objectives, the specialisation within the fourth and fifth years gives Ipagiens an exceptional balance of classic and innovative business theories which they will indisputably require in their professional lives.
