Shape your own international experience
Partner university abroad, professional internship, 100% English-taught programme, international double degree… At MBS, students are both the creators and the driving force behind their own international experience.
Each student can follow their entire programme in English, accumulate up to 18 months of international experience, and earn a double degree through exchanges with more than 50 foreign partner universities.
Before, during and after the mobility period, a dedicated team supports students in choosing their host university, preparing for mobility, registering for courses, and navigating every step of the experience.
International Double Degrees
In the final year of the Bachelor programme, students have the opportunity to spend a full year at one of MBS’s international partner universities and earn a double degree:
- the Bachelor of International Business Administration (State-accredited degree, bachelor’s grade) from MBS,
- the Bachelor’s or Licence degree from one of MBS’s foreign partner universities.
The double-degree mobility in the final year does not extend the duration of studies or increase tuition fees.
Semester Exchanges
During the 2nd year, students undertake a semester of study at an international partner university (work-study students are exempt).
Adaptability, language and intercultural skills, open-mindedness, and the development of soft skills — these are the benefits of an international experience, and just as many assets to highlight on your resume.
Our Foreign Partner Universities
From 1 semester to 18 months of study abroad, each student can build an international experience tailored to their aspirations and goals:
- 1 semester in 2nd year
- 1 full year on a Double Degree in the final year
For each destination, the number of students is limited to avoid clustering among French students, which would be counterproductive to genuine exchange and immersion in new cultures. The year abroad does not generate any additional tuition fees.
Mobility Grants
Funding options available for your international study mobility:
- Erasmus+ Grant
- Région Occitanie Grant
A Multicultural Campus
Joining MBS also means becoming part of a Grande École that attracts students and faculty from around the world.
Time spent on campus offers the opportunity to work, exchange ideas, and build connections with more than 1,000 international students from 80 different nationalities.
