A strategic choice after high school
Choosing a bachelor’s degree is a decisive step in a student’s career. With so many options available, it is essential to identify recognized programs that combine academic quality, international experience, and proximity to the professional world.
1. Check the recognition of the degree
First step: make sure that the bachelor’s degree is accredited by the French government or certified by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE).
This guarantees:
- The academic quality of the program,
- The recognition of the degree in France and internationally,
- And easier progression to a master’s degree or a Grande École program.
At IMT-BS, the Bachelor’s degree in Management & Digital Business is accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, a guarantee of excellence and reliability. It is also recognized internationally!
2. Evaluate professionalization and work-study programs
Practical experience is a major criterion when choosing a career path. Having the opportunity to gain professional experience during your studies, whether through an internship or a work-study program, is always an attractive asset: it allows you to gain experience.
Therefore, a good bachelor’s degree program should offer:
- Internships every year,
- The possibility of work-study programs in companies,
- And concrete projects carried out with economic partners.
IMT-BS stands out for its “learning by doing” approach: from the first year, students participate in real business projects, then move on to work-study programs in their second year. This professionalizing dimension is a real lever for employability.
3. Focus on international openness
Digital technology and management are two international sectors. A good bachelor’s degree in these fields must therefore combine:
- Semesters abroad,
- Strong academic partnerships,
- And intensive learning of professional English.
The IMT-BS Bachelor’s degree allows students to study abroad at more than 130 partner universities and take courses in English starting in the first year. From the second year onwards, all courses are automatically taught in English. This openness prepares students to work in multicultural environments. In addition, spending a semester abroad helps students develop their professional network.
4. Consider campus life and support services
The student experience is also a key factor for success. A stimulating environment, a rich community life, and individual support are all elements to consider before choosing a school.
IMT-BS offers a 7-hectare campus with 900 housing units, shared with Télécom SudParis. Students can flourish and develop their professional skills outside of class thanks to one of the richest student life scenes in France, with more than 60 student associations and clubs.

Before choosing your bachelor’s degree, you should also think about what comes next and be sure of the career opportunities available. The IMT-BS bachelor’s degree opens many doors:
- Direct entry into careers in digital marketing, project management, international trade, human resources, finance, and more.
- Further studies in a Grande École program or a university Master’s program, in France or abroad.
