Programme overview
Delivered in English on our Paris campus, the Bachelor Applied Management and Economics is a three-year programme that prepares students for management roles in an international environment.
Structured around management, economics and business strategy, it embeds sustainability as a cross-cutting lens. Each year consolidates a demanding academic foundation and tests it against real-world practice, through business cases, concrete projects and mandatory internships.
Delivered in partnership with the Cours de Civilisation Française de la Sorbonne for French as a foreign language classes, and validated by 180 ECTS credits, this Bachelor is designed for students who wish to build, from the moment they earn their secondary-school diploma, a management career open to the world.

You have just finished secondary school and want to study abroad from day one. Classes taught in English, small class sizes, a dedicated team, and French lessons with the Cours de civilisation française de la Sorbonne to help you find your feet.

With a programme taught in English, compulsory internships in France or abroad, and a network of schools and companies in 16 countries, you gain the tools and experience to thrive in an international environment.
What's next: a first role in management, marketing, human resources or business development, in France or abroad.
Launch your own venture
Got an idea, or hoping to start your own business one day? From accounting to strategy, then entrepreneurship in your third year: you learn how a company works from the inside.
What's next: your own venture, or a role in a start-up or an SME.
Change direction
A first year that didn't work out for you? Small class sizes, close support and hands-on learning to help you find your rhythm again.
What's next: it's up to you, whether that's a job or further study.

What our students say about EMA
“From the very beginning, the support I received — especially from the visa team — made a huge difference.
Moving to a new country and going through the visa process can be quite stressful, but the way you guided me step by step, always being available and clear on what was needed, made everything feel much more manageable. It honestly gave me a lot of peace of mind during that transition.
I also want to highlight how supportive and approachable the administrative team has been throughout. Whether it was paperwork, questions, or general guidance, I always felt there was someone ready to help.
And of course, the professors bring great value to the experience. Their knowledge, combined with real industry insight, makes the learning much more meaningful and relatable.”
MBA Sustainable Leadership student
8 weeks in industry, in France or abroad
Managing a time difference with head office, adapting to cultural codes nobody taught you, solving a problem when you can't walk over to the next desk: this is where cross-cultural skill stops being a classroom idea.
