Introduction
Studying at BSBI in France means far more than earning a qualification, it’s choosing a life where ambition meets exceptional quality of living.
Nestled in the heart of Paris, one of the world’s most iconic capitals, BSBI students don’t just study in a city, they become part of it. From the leafy pathways of Parc Montsouris minutes from campus to the electric energy of Parisian streets, every day is an experience that extends well beyond the classroom.
Paris is a city built for students. Whether you’re commuting by metro, Vélib’ bike or train, getting around is seamless, and with a 50% student transport discount, it’s affordable too. Government housing support through the CAF allowance helps reduce your rent by up to 40%, and free healthcare through the Carte Vitale means your wellbeing is always covered, at no cost.
Life here is as rich as it is practical. BSBI organises cultural events, career workshops, and social activities that connect a truly international student community, because with peers arriving from Morocco to India, Vietnam to Senegal, your network becomes as global as your ambitions.
And when the weekend comes, Paris is your playground. World-class museums, diverse cuisines, vibrant neighbourhoods, and as a gateway to 29 European countries, all of Europe is within reach.
At BSBI Paris, we believe the best education shapes not just your CV, but your character. That’s why 88.7% of our students say they love it here, (internal 2025 survey) and why so many never want to leave.
