The first 3 years
The first 3 years of the Grande Ecole Programme enable the student to understand the global challenges faced by companies.
This first cycle offers a comprehensive vision of business issues and a unique international student experience where destinations rhyme with passions and specialisations (finance in London, luxury industry in Milan,…)
Curriculum and key highlights
During these three years, the students discover the fundamentals of management, grow, begin their professional development by completing one internship per year, develop their creativity and deepen their technical and digital knowledge.
The training is built around 4 pillars:
Management / Business and Culture / Creativity and Innovation / Business and Technology
3 years to discover the world and reveal yourself
From the 1st year onwards, students can choose between the classic, international or digital sections, enabling them to build and personalize their career path.
The program is highly international, with all students able to take part in a learning expedition at the end of the 1st semester. Thanks to internships and academic exchanges, students can spend up to 10 months abroad during the 1st cycle.
Thanks to collaborations with ESME, SupBiotech and EPITA, engineering schools of the IONIS group, ISG students have the opportunity to strengthen their digital culture
right from the 1st cycle.
With more than half of their time devoted to associative life, personal projects and concrete missions entrusted by companies, the 1st cycle of the Grande École Program enables students to gradually acquire skills, autonomy and a sense of responsibility.
In addition to the classic section (where the majority of teaching is in French), the Grande École Program offers two other sections starting in the 1st year: the international section, for immediate immersion in a 100% English-speaking environment, and the Techma section for a focus on innovation and digital culture.
