SKEMA Business School

SKEMA Global BBA

SKEMA's Global BBA is a four-year degree accredited by the French Ministry of Education. It follows the international bachelor’s degree format, the most widely accepted study format in the world, and recognized by international companies. Depending on their chosen specialization, students may enter the job market straight after the degree or they can go on to do “Master 2” or master of science (MSc) studies.

Academic dimension

Our teaching is student-centered, emphasizing interaction within small classes and encouraging a personal approach to achievement of individual objectives. Our teaching team consists of international faculty and business professionals. The programme is based on flexibility and customization: for instance on the Sophia Antipolis campus students can decide the number and type of courses each semester. They are free to choose electives that allow them to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for their professional project. All the while, students have regular and individualized meetings with an academic advisor.

International dimension

Students do part of their studies outside of France, with partner universities or on our own SKEMA campuses in Brazil, China or the US, for a period of 12 to 24 months. This means students become operational in foreign managerial culture and gives them the opportunity to live a unique multi-campus experience. It is also possible to follow the BBA program starting from the first year on the Belo Horizonte (Brazil) or Raleigh (USA) campus. In this case, the registration fees that apply are those of the campus. In addition to SKEMA’s campuses, we offer our students an attractive network of partner universities. We have developed our partnerships with universities and schools which give our students the very best chances of success and which meet our high standards.

Double degrees
