Business & IT Programmes in Paris, RNCP Level 7 with PPA and ESGI

How BSBI delivers French state registered RNCP Level 7 qualifications in Paris

BSBI’s Paris campus offers business programmes in Paris in English, in academic partnership with two established French higher education institutions: Pôle Paris Alternance (PPA) Business School, a leading European business and management school, and ESGI (École Supérieure de Génie Informatique), a higher education school of computer engineering founded in 1983. Both institutions belong to the Réseau des Grandes Écoles Spécialisées (Réseau GES) a network of six higher education institutions with over 5,500 enrolled students and 4,500 corporate partner companies across France.

Through this partnership, BSBI students enrolled in eligible postgraduate programmes receive a dual award: their BSBI degree and a French state-registered RNCP Level 7 qualification the highest level of the French national certification framework, equivalent to Level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). This certification is delivered in French law and recognised by French employers, government bodies, and institutions throughout the European Union.

What this partnership means for you as a student

Studying through this partnership means receiving two qualifications from a single programme of study: your BSBI postgraduate degree, delivered in English, and a French state-registered RNCP Level 7 title, conferring formal recognition within the French and by extension European qualification system. This dual award is particularly valuable for students who intend to build their career in France, within the European Union, or in organisations that recognise French professional certifications.

Practically, students benefit from PPA’s corporate relations infrastructure personalised recruitment sessions, direct introductions to partner companies, and access to a professional network spanning multiple industries. Combined with BSBI’s own career support services, this represents a structured professional pathway from enrolment to employment.

Programmes are delivered in English, making them fully accessible to international students who do not yet speak French. French language learning is encouraged as a complementary skill even basic proficiency significantly expands professional opportunities in Paris but is not a condition of admission or programme completion.

For students considering a Paris-based programme, further information is available on the BSBI Paris campus page, the Paris student life guide, and the visa and immigration information page for non-EU students. Programme-specific entry requirements and application details are available on each individual programme page above.
