In a world where companies now operate on a global scale, international exposure is no longer an option but a strategic necessity. Companies are looking for candidates who can thrive in multicultural environments, collaborate remotely with international teams, and understand global economic and technological dynamics. The IMT-BS Bachelor’s in Management & Digital Business thus places international experience at the heart of its educational program to train global, independent, and open-minded managers.
IMT-BS’s objective is clear: to enable students to develop genuine intercultural intelligence, broaden their perspective on markets, and acquire skills that can be immediately applied in an international professional context. This global dimension permeates the entire program, both in the curriculum and in the experiences offered throughout the course of study.
Academic exchanges at one of our 50 partner universities
IMT-BS Bachelor’s students have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad starting in their second year. The school draws on a robust network of over 50 partner universities. Among these 50 institutions, 5 offer dual degrees to IMT-BS students in Argentina, Canada, Colombia, and Morocco.
These academic stays provide a formative experience, both personally and professionally. During an exchange, students can take courses in English or the local language and improve their language skills in a real-world setting, discover different teaching methods, work with international students, develop their adaptability, or even experience full cultural immersion!
Beyond academic learning, this mobility fosters independence, curiosity, and open-mindedness. Students learn to step outside their comfort zone, understand different ways of thinking, and develop an international professional mindset.
Internships Abroad for Professional Immersion
Beyond academic exchanges, IMT-BS strongly encourages international internships: they serve as important stepping stones toward a global career. These professional experiences allow students to test their skills in real-world settings and discover management practices specific to other countries. An international internship offers numerous opportunities:
- Work in an intercultural environment and collaborate with international teams
- Develop language skills applicable to the professional world
- Understand the economic and commercial challenges of different markets
- Strengthen your independence, initiative, and adaptability
- Enhance your profile in the eyes of recruiters
Thanks to a network of partner companies and alumni located around the world, students receive personalized support to develop their plans and find an international internship. Coaching, preparation workshops, search assistance, and individualized follow-up… Every effort is made to support students and optimize their experience.
A Multicultural Campus Life
The richness of the international experience at IMT-BS extends beyond study abroad programs. On the Évry-Courcouronnes campus, the presence of students, faculty, and guest speakers from around the world creates a cosmopolitan, stimulating, and open atmosphere.
This cultural diversity is experienced on a daily basis: multicultural group projects, exchanges of best practices, sharing of experiences, and international encounters shape academic life. Students thus develop in an environment that reflects the reality of globalized organizations.
Student organizations also play a key role in this openness to the world. Student associations regularly organize intercultural events (such as the Global Village), international conferences and meetings, and humanitarian projects with an international scope.
In addition to these opportunities, the IMT-BS Bachelor’s program also offers an “English Track” in the second year, allowing students to take all their courses in English. This enables them to spend more time with international students (who make up one-third of the student body that year) and develop their English comprehension and speaking skills.
These initiatives help build bridges between cultures, promote inclusion, and develop essential interpersonal skills such as active listening, tolerance, and teamwork.
