FAQ's

This programme awards two core qualifications that prepare you for success in the digital marketing industry: (1) Professional Master's in Digital Marketing (awarded by BSBI). A professional master's degree that provides comprehensive training in digital strategy, content marketing, SEO/SEM, social media management, marketing automation, data analytics, and campaign optimization. Recognised internationally and designed for career-focused professionals pursuing roles in digital marketing, brand management, and online communications. (2) RNCP Titre Level 7 (delivered by PPA Business School, certified by the French Ministry of Labour). A state-certified professional qualification earned through a mandatory internship in marketing departments, digital agencies, or e-commerce companies. This validates your hands-on competencies in campaign management, digital content creation, performance tracking, and strategic communication. French employers highly value RNCP qualifications because they prove you've successfully delivered results in real digital marketing environments.

Optional UK Degree Upgrade: You have the opportunity to upgrade your qualification to include a UK academic degree (MSc) awarded by the University of Chichester, a prestigious UK institution ranked in the Top 30. With this upgrade, you will graduate with three recognised qualifications: a Professional Master's diploma from BSBI, an RNCP Level 7 diploma from PPA, and a UK academic degree from the University of Chichester. This triple qualification offers maximum international recognition. The upgrade requires meeting eligibility requirements and an additional fee of €1,200, delivered through additional blended learning modules. What this means for your CV: The dual qualification demonstrates both professional expertise (BSBI diploma) and state-validated practical experience (RNCP certification). If you choose the UK degree upgrade, you add academic credibility from a top-ranked British university, positioning you as a digital marketing professional with both strategic knowledge and proven campaign execution skills.

Yes. the RNCP Titre Level 7 is officially recognised as equivalent to a Master's degree (Level 7 on the European Qualifications Framework), making it understood across Europe and internationally. In the digital marketing sector specifically, European employers recognise this as proof of advanced professional competence in campaign management, digital strategy, and online marketing operations. Many international digital agencies, e-commerce platforms, and multinational marketing teams operate across multiple countries and understand French professional certifications. Digital marketing is a highly globalised field where skills like SEO, paid advertising, analytics, and content strategy are universal, employers worldwide value candidates who can demonstrate hands-on experience in these areas. Outside Europe, while the RNCP acronym may be less familiar, your dual qualification (Professional Master's in Digital Marketing + French RNCP) demonstrates both academic credentials and state-validated professional experience. International recruiters in digital hubs appreciate this combination: recognised academic training paired with certified practical experience in managing digital campaigns and measuring marketing performance. The mandatory internship validated by the French government shows you've successfully executed digital marketing projects, managed social media campaigns, optimized paid advertising, or created content strategies in professional settings, skills that translate directly to marketing roles anywhere in the world. Many of our digital marketing graduates use the Professional Master's degree when applying to international companies and emphasise the RNCP when explaining their hands-on experience with marketing tools, campaign analytics, and digital project management during interviews.

The internship is a mandatory component that places you in real digital marketing environments and is required to earn the RNCP Titre Level 7. It takes place after completing your academic modules and is facilitated through the companies proposing internships in Paris and across France. Duration: The internship typically involves up to 6 months of full-time work in digital marketing roles. When: Usually completed after your taught modules, allowing you to apply the digital marketing strategies, analytics techniques, and content creation skills you've learned in your studies. Where: You'll work in marketing departments, digital agencies, social media teams, e-commerce companies, content marketing organisations, or start-up marketing teams, matching your interests in areas like social media management, SEO/SEM, email marketing, content strategy, paid advertising, or marketing automation. Support: BSBI's career services team maintains relationships with employers and provides support including CV writing tailored to marketing roles, portfolio development showcasing your digital projects, interview preparation for marketing positions, and employer matching based on your specialisation interests in digital channels. You'll also have academic supervision and an industry mentor throughout your internship. The internship serves as a crucial career stepping stone, many digital marketing students build portfolios of real campaign work, develop professional networks, and receive job offers from their internship employers, as marketing teams often use internships to identify and recruit talented marketers.

Yes, absolutely. The Master in Digital Marketing programme is taught entirely in English at BSBI's Paris campus. You do not need to speak French to enrol or complete your academic studies. What about the internship? English-speaking digital marketing internships are widely available in Paris: The city hosts numerous international digital agencies, e-commerce companies with English-speaking marketing teams, tech start-ups operating in English, and multinational brands managing global digital campaigns. French language is a bonus, not a requirement: While speaking French can expand your internship options, particularly with French domestic brands or local French agencies, it's not mandatory. Many international students complete successful internships in entirely English-speaking marketing environments, especially in roles focused on international markets, English content creation, or global social media management. Digital marketing is a highly international field where English dominates, most marketing tools, platforms, and industry resources are in English. Learning French while you study: BSBI offers French language courses in order to develop your French skills during your time in Paris. Basic French can be helpful for daily life and networking, but it's not required for academic success or for working in many digital marketing roles. Student visa considerations: You do not need to demonstrate French language proficiency to obtain a student visa for this programme, as it's taught in English. English proficiency is the only language requirement for admission.
