Internationalisation is part of IAE Aix-Marseille Graduate School of Management’s DNA and has guided the School since its foundation in 1955. As a globally oriented institution, The IAE prepares responsible leaders for an interconnected world, fostering cultural diversity, academic excellence, and impactful learning experiences. With over 25% international students and programmes largely taught in English, the Puyricard campus is a vibrant multicultural hub. The School prioritises meaningful and sustainable “Mobility with Purpose,” combining international exposure with responsible travel practices. The IAE also relies on a strong global network of partners and international alliances to enhance research, dual degrees, faculty exchanges, and study abroad opportunities. By welcoming the world on campus and being embedded locally and internationally, The IAE strengthens its global reputation and continues to empower humanistic leadership with a positive impact.

TRAIN MANAGERS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE EVOLVING IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT

IAE Aix also makes every effort to ensure that its students can improve their language skills with a view to pursuing international careers.

Before the start of the academic year, two intensive seminars in business English and French as a foreign language (FLE) are offered to facilitate integration and refresher courses for many programmes. During the academic year, language courses are offered in certain programmes (English, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and German). Only FLE courses are open to interested international students. The AMUlangues GoFluent platform offers free training in 12 different languages with online resources and the help of Conversational AI.

  • International seminars

    The IAE offers a wide range of international seminars and electives designed to broaden global perspectives and enhance cross-cultural understanding. Led by visiting professors and experts from around the world, these courses expose participants to diverse business practices, emerging markets and international trends. Many electives are delivered entirely in English, reinforcing our multicultural learning environment.

  • Outgoing Exchange Program

  • Study Tours

    The IAE’s Study Tours and Immersive Weeks provide students with hands-on international experiences. Focused on short, intensive stays in Europe and nearby regions, they combine company visits, cultural insights, and collaborative projects. In line with our commitment to sustainability, long-distance study tours have been relocated closer to Europe to reduce the carbon footprint while still maximizing learning outcomes. Students engage directly with global business environments and local communities, gaining practical knowledge and cross-cultural skills. Immersive Weeks strengthen the IAE’s mission to prepare responsible leaders for a globalised world.
