INSEEC Business School

The school has French, European and international campuses in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Chambéry, Marseille, Beaune, London, Monaco, Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, Madrid, Barcelona, Abidjan and Shanghai as well as San Francisco.

[2][3][4][5][6] The Grande Ecole INSEEC School of Business & Economics grew at a fast pace, and especially internationally, underpinned by Career Education Corporation until October 24, 2013.

[7] From a local School founded and based in Bordeaux, it has developed tiers with the American Education System via its Franco-American Business School: the MBA Institute - American BBA INSEEC Campus in Paris, which prepares French and International Students for an MBA in the United States, enabling them to obtain a diploma at the end, recognised both in Europe and in the US.

[citation needed] This has led to pedagogic influences into INSEEC's Grande Ecole curriculum such as the compulsory "humanist internship", as part of which students have to carry out a work placement in a charity or an association.

[56][57] While students prepare for these National Competitive examinations right after their high school diploma (often obtained with a magna cum laude or summa cum laude) during a two-year preparatory programme in high schools proposing such curricula; some other students will start an Undergraduate or Bachelor's degree and prepare for the national Competitive examinations along their studies at Universities or private Colleges in France or abroad.

[60] During the first Grande Ecole academic year, which is the equivalent of a Bachelor (sometimes referred to in French as Licence 3 or abbreviated L3),[63] an induction week will take place, followed by a typical student orientation.

[citation needed] Throughout this week, groups of students will have to work out a project, not obviously dealing with business and economics, which will have to be presented along with a report in front of a panel of professors.

As part of this mission, students form groups and have to draw lots for a randomised subject, which they will have to study in an ethnological fashion.

The students' group will be chaperoned by a professor and will have to deliver a Thesis-like report after thorough experts' interviews and literature research, which will be defended in front of a jury during a Viva Voce.

[citation needed] General culture plays a prominent role in the first year of the Grande Ecole curriculum and represents a third of all classes.

Students will come to the School's campus at 10pm and until dawn will have to form groups in order to solve problems, following pre-defined scenarios prepared by the faculty.

[71][72] INSEEC has woven a network of 183 partner-Universities in 41 countries and 300 international students hosted throughout the OMNES Education campuses every year.

[74] In 2016, INSEEC Business School was the fourth Grande Ecole in France with the highest number of students studying abroad.

In the table below, the Grande Ecole INSEEC School of Business & Economics ranks in average 21st (weighted arithmetic mean) best Grande Ecole Business School in France from 2008 until 2022 by the following magazines, consulting companies and institutions: L'Etudiant Magazine, Le Figaro, Challenges, Le Point, Le Parisien, SMBG / Eduniversal, SIGEM (French Integration System for Grandes Ecoles of Management via Preparatory Classes).

Second, along this phenomenon, the French Grande Ecole Business Schools' landscape has witnessed an unprecedented trend of inter-schools mergers and acquisitions.

Similarly to many French Grande Ecoles, INSEEC School of Business & Economics hosts more than 30 students' associations on-campus which spans a wide array of missions: charity, gourmet food, wine, sports, arts, digital media, debate, video games, to cite a few.

The BDS and BDA embody a similar role but will organise activities: Sports for the BDS (sports events, students' rugby league, sailing classes, cruises & events for students of the OMNES Education's Schools, sailing competitions against other Grande Ecoles such as The EDHEC Sailing Cup ("ESC") (Course Croisière EDHEC or "CCE" in French) is the leading student sporting event in Europe and the world's biggest intercollegiate offshore regatta) and the Arts for the BDA (on-campus concerts, events, visits of museums, cinema on-campus, classes of theatrical performance at the National Theatre of Bordeaux).

At INSEEC, the election results of a BDE (Bureau des Etudiants, in French: Students' Association) unfolds during the yearly Gala soirée evening.

[citation needed] Companies incubators such as the Incub'INSEEC (also called Innov'INSEEC) in Paris and Bordeaux[176][177] differ from Junior Entreprises (often called: Junior, by students in France), as their goal is not to create an on-campus entrepreneurial association in consulting, but rather to foster entrepreneurship by helping alumni and current students to establish their own start-up.

Incub'INSEEC will provide infrastructures, workshops, conferences, commodities, communication networks in order to underpin students' and alumni's nascent entrepreneurial projects.

As such, students will have to carry out assignments (called missions) for local customers, such as accountancy and finance audits, consulting services in communication and marketing.

[23][24][25][26] For training-purposes, a Bloomberg trading room is available on the Campus of Paris and Bordeaux, for students enrolled in the Financial Markets major, during the last year of the Grande Ecole Curriculum.

At the Grande Ecole INSEEC School of Business & Economics, 98% of professors were doctors and 46% of them hold a PhD from abroad,[220] according to the French magazine L'Etudiant recorded for the academic year 2018/2019, i.e. faculty staff holding a PhD, obtained in France or abroad and working as permanent professor on-campus at least 4 days a week.

The cornerstones of Research at INSEEC are twofold: multidisciplinarity and transversal syllabi, in order to foster knowledge cross-seeding and bridge synergies between laboratories and faculty staff.

National Convention Altar or also called Republican Altar, inside the Panthéon in Paris. The term grande école originated in 1794 after the French Revolution, upon the creation of the École normale supérieure, of the École centrale des travaux publics (later École polytechnique, France's foremost Grande Ecole of Engineering) by the mathematician Gaspard Monge and Lazare Carnot and of the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts by the abbot Henri Grégoire, which all resulted from the National Convention.

The work of French anthropologist and ethnologist Claude Lévi Strauss had an influence on INSEEC's pedagogy, and especially but not only on the "Corporate Ethnological Mission" which students have to carry out as part of the first year of their Grande Ecole curriculum.
