  • Information Booklet
    Academic year 2011-2012 INFORMATION BOOKLET Paris London Madrid Dortmund Riga Kaliningrad Master Degree European Business School accredited by the Ministry of Education A message from the Dean and Managing Director llow me to take a few moments of your time to outline the educational goals and the mission of EBS Paris. The focus of the EBS Paris International Business and A Management program goes beyond functional business knowledge to provide graduates with contemporary management and technological knowledge together with an understanding of the interdis- ciplinary connections of history, politics, language and culture. In this way, students are equipped to face the challenges of a global, changing world. We place great importance on the development of each individual student and we cultivate in them a values-based learning environment combining project-based, interactive academic and experiential learning opportunities through professional internships and study abroad. The International Digital Campus (IDC) will be launched in September 2011 in partnership with Microsoft and this will allow the learning process to be fully interactive. The School's professors will also be tutors to improve the process of knowledge acquisition. EBS Paris is switching from a teaching school to a learning school. The new approach to education will allow the students to use pedagogical resources as where and when they want in a blended learning format. As the actor of his or her academic and professional track, the student will fit into a nomadic way of life. Furthermore, EBS Paris has the advantage of its central Paris location which, through its presence and reputation, connects students with the international academic and professional community through the EBS International Network.
