L1 Economics - International program in business and management (IPEM)

The International Program in Business and Management (IPEM) is a 3-year Bachelor's degree in Economics and Management, taught entirely in English, with a compulsory semester of mobility in the third year, in one of the FEG's foreign partner universities. It requires students to take an active, reflective approach to the construction of their Bachelor's degree training project.
The IPEM pathway in the Economics and Management Bachelor's degree thus offers the acquisition of a genuine field of expertise in economics and management, combining reflection and technicality.

At the end of the three-year program, students will be familiar with :

• the main theories of economics, with the ability to identify their main trends and authors
• Important historical and contemporary social and economic facts and events
• The different functions, organization and development models of the firm, and the different strategies that enable them to be established, in relation to the competitive context of markets and the economic, financial, legal and political-administrative environment.
• The fundamental accounting tools of the firm; some of the quantitative tools of mathematics and probability, statistics, econometrics and computer science to aid economic and management analysis.

The IPEM pathway develops three skills during the first year of the bachelor's degree:

• Understanding the objectives of players, firms and organizations
• Understanding the environment of actors, firms and organizations
• Developing cross-disciplinary skills

Who can apply?

This degree course is aimed at general baccalaureate holders. It is essential that students in Première and Terminale choose combinations of specialties in which mathematics is still taught, either as a speciality (Mathematics in Première and ideally Terminale), or as an option (Complementary or Expert Mathematics). Students will need to demonstrate the development of independent thinking, analytical skills, writing skills and rigorous reasoning. It is also very important that students have a good command of the English language, acquired for example through European sections or secondary education in English. The ability to adapt to a variety of learning situations, including working independently, but also supervised group work and taking initiative, are important assets for the success of candidates in this Bachelor's degree.
