5-YEAR PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

The Grande Ecole Program gives access to a Bac+5 (Grade de Master) diploma, recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, and designed to train students for careers in marketing and sales in an innovative, digital and international environment. The 4th and 5th years of the Grande Ecole program are available as part of a sandwich course or as initial training. 

TOP-LEVEL TRAINING

The aim of the Grande Ecole Program's study cycles is to prepare you for management or entrepreneurial careers in the corporate world. The first cycle (years 1, 2 and 3) of the Grande Ecole Program will enable you to acquire general skills concerning the way companies operate and essential management skills. The second cycle (years 4 and 5) will enable you to specialize through majors and minors, and learn a trade through multiple phases of corporate immersion. Connected to the job market, ICD Business School puts a premium on familiarizing students with the business world. Our aim, of course, is to give students the best possible chance of finding a job immediately after graduating.
