The college is designed to cater to students seeking foundation and pre-master's programs in the fields of Business and Management. Successful completion of the programs will provide opportunities for students to advance to ICN campuses in Paris, Nancy, and potentially Berlin, pending visa requirements.
The partnership emphasizes that the French capital, with its status as the headquarters for numerous global organizations and Europe's largest public transport hub, is an "exceptional and alluring location for academic pursuits."
ICN Business School, with nearly 120 years of existence, holds the 36th position among business schools in the Financial Times 2023 rankings.
Florence Legros, ICN Dean and Managing Director, highlighted the school's mission to train individuals with an ArtTechnologyManagement profile, irrespective of their academic background or nationality. The ArtTechnologyManagement pedagogy refers to the trans-disciplinary education offered at ICN schools specializing in engineering, art, architecture, and design.
Legros stated, "Recruiting our future international students and inviting them to participate in our certified programs, accredited by EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB, and labeled sustainable development CSR, is an even greater obligation [for us]."
"Alongside the 230 employees of our school, [students] will have the certainty of studying with a high-performing faculty and, more importantly, receiving specific support for a seamless integration into their daily lives. We will be their new family! Openness, commitment, and team spirit are now their new ambitions."
For Navitas, which has expanded its operations in Germany in recent years and maintained a presence in the Netherlands, this new partnership solidifies the company's dedication to mainland Europe.
Paul Lovegrove, Navitas University Partnerships Europe CEO & Global COO, expressed, "Students who join ICN International College will be surrounded by a world-class industry, with access to a vast range of experts and more than 40 student associations."
"Higher education in France offers international students an exceptional opportunity to study in a vibrant, dynamic student-friendly environment, with business programs that are internationally recognized for their academic excellence. I am delighted that we can offer this experience."
ICN's extensive network comprises nearly 130 partner universities globally and 150 corporate partners. With 38% of its 3,300 student community being international and boasting 22,000 alumni, ICN Business School stands as a global educational institution.
