The ESSEC Global Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a beacon of academic excellence and international exposure. Its innovative specialized tracks and comprehensive educational framework offer students transformative pathways to global careers.

A Progressive Educational Journey

The ESSEC Global BBA’s distinctive two-cycle structure creates an unparalleled learning experience that evolves with students’ academic and professional development.

Cycle 1 establishes a robust foundation in management fundamentals across ESSEC’s three prestigious campuses in France, Singapore, and Morocco, allowing students to begin their global journey from day one.

As students progress to Cycle 2, they engage with advanced coursework while benefiting from extensive international exposure through exchange programs lasting six months to one year.

This progressive approach ensures students develop both depth of knowledge and breadth of international perspective. While many students thrive in the Generalist Track, which includes exchanges or double degrees with over 188 global partners, ESSEC’s specialized international tracks offer focused pathways for students seeking targeted expertise in specific domains.

The Prestigious IBEA Track

The International Business Education Alliance (IBEA) program represents one of ESSEC’s most prestigious offerings. It provides students with truly global academic experiences across four different institutions worldwide. Jeslyn Jerota, a Global BBA student who participated in IBEA, exemplifies the program’s transformative impact.
