The Bachelor in International Business is delivered full time over two academic years. At the end of year 2 of the program, students are required to follow an internship which can be in France or abroad. In semester 1 of the final year, French students have to study at one GGSB's partner campuses.
"The major advantage of GGSB's Bachelor in International Business: It is taught completely in English. This gives an international dimension to the bachelor from day one. The class profile is multicultural with the majority of students speaking at least 2 languages. The second year is a melting pot of different cultures where everyone can find their place. The program is well organized with each subject offered as a three or four week module which makes the program highly interactive. GGSB faculty is highly qualified and come from different countries which reinforce the international dimension of the program. The final strength of the Bachelor in International Business lies in its continual improvement thanks to the pedagogical and administrative team being open to the comments of the students."
Laura Jane Gauthier, Bachelor in International Business- Year 2

"I did my internship at Federal Mogul Sintertech, France. I worked as a sales and marketing assistant during the summer after my second year. I learned quite a lot during my four month internship where I easily managed to apply the theory learned in GGSB in to practice. My internship was also quite enriching since I acquired new expertise related to business law before my classes in my third year and this helped a great deal in understanding this challenging course."
