About us

Our ambition:

“To be the prominent school of management that develops globally-minded leaders who shape the future by transforming complexity into opportunities through a combination of cross-disciplinary skills and multicultural experiences, for a better world.” 

Paris School of Business, the prestigious Parisian business school

Paris School of Business is one of 35+ independent business schools accredited by the State delivering recognized diplomas. It regularly occupies a pivotal position between level II and level III schools.    

Over the course of the past decade, the school has continued to pursue a determined strategy to develop its international outreach, obtaining several accreditations:AACSB (for the entire school), EFMD-Master (for the Grande Ecole-Master in Management program), AMBA (for the MBA and Grande Ecole-Master in Management programs) and BGA (for the entire school).  

In 2022, the school formulated a strategy designed to consolidate its position among the top three post-secondary French business schools. This strategy places emphasis upon quality (academic, research, procedural) whilst maintaining controlled growth of its annual intake.

The Business School that combines interdisciplinary skills and multicultural experiences

Benefiting from the network of prestigious schools in Art, Design, and Tech within the Galileo Global Education group, we offer our students unique programs that blend professional expertise with essential behavioral skills. These programs aim to train leaders capable of securing strategic positions within international companies and managing multicultural teams, equipped to tackle the complex challenges of today’s global economy.

Our post-secondary programs, lasting 3 or 5 years, place a strong emphasis on developing skills in management, leadership, and intercultural communication. By integrating international experiences through exchanges, internships, and multicultural projects, we empower our students to explore their creativity, broaden their perspectives, and push the boundaries of conventional thinking.

This interdisciplinary and multicultural approach is essential for succeeding in a constantly evolving and highly globalized economic environment.

Through interdisciplinary learning and an international outlook, we are committed to training leaders who are not only competent and innovative but also capable of collaborating in diverse settings and delivering real value to the business world.

By combining a variety of disciplines with a global perspective, our school shapes graduates ready to face the challenges of a globalized market, with a deep understanding of cultural differences and a vital adaptability for today’s world.
