International Experience, Internships and Work-Study: Professionalization at ICD Business School
Choosing a business school through Parcoursup is not limited to academic content alone. Professionalization, international exposure and corporate experience are now key decision-making criteria. At ICD Business School, the Bachelor of Science in Management integrates these dimensions at the very core of its pedagogy, preparing students to become operational, adaptable and immediately employable graduates.
A Structured and Progressive Corporate Immersion
From the first year, students in the ICD Bachelor develop concrete professional experience. The corporate pathway is progressively structured to strengthen autonomy and skill development.
- Year 1: 2 to 3-month internship
- Year 2: 2 to 4-month internship
- Year 3: 5 to 6-month internship
This organization enables students to explore different professional environments, test various sectors and build a strong CV from post-baccalaureate level onward. Each internship represents a strategic step in shaping their career plans.
Work-Study Option: Enhanced Professional Immersion in Year 3
For students in the Business Development track (BBD), the third year can be completed through a work-study program. This format combines academic learning with extended professional experience.
The work-study pathway offers several advantages:
- Accelerated development of commercial skills
- Financial compensation during studies
- Easier integration into the job market
This option serves as a genuine springboard toward positions such as business developer, account manager or sales manager.

International Exposure: A Strategic Pillar of the ICD Bachelor
In a globalized economic environment, international openness is a major asset. ICD Business School fully integrates this dimension into its Bachelor of Science in Management.
Students may benefit from:
- Academic exchanges with one of ICD’s partner universities
- Study experiences abroad
- International internships, depending on opportunities
These experiences foster intercultural competencies, adaptability and a global business mindset, qualities highly valued by recruiters.
A Pedagogy Focused on Employability
Beyond internships and international opportunities, ICD Business School emphasizes active learning: real-world projects, business case studies, professional guest speakers and individualized support. Students develop both technical and soft skills essential to their future careers, including analytical thinking, project management, teamwork and professional communication.
This comprehensive approach enables Bachelor graduates to enter the job market with significant experience and strong professional maturity.
Why Is Professionalization a Key Criterion on Parcoursup?
On Parcoursup, many post-baccalaureate business schools offer attractive programs. However, the real difference often lies in the institution’s ability to guide students toward employment. At ICD Business School, professionalization is not an option; it structures the entire academic journey.
Through progressive internships, a work-study option and strong international exposure, the Bachelor of Science in Management enables students to build a distinctive profile aligned with current labor market expectations.
