BSB accelerates the development of excellent international academic partnerships

The School is also renewing its Bienvenue en France label

BSB confirms the rise of its international strategy with the signing of 17 new academic partnerships in the last 15 months, while renewing its Welcome to France label — level 2, issued by Campus France. This dual dynamic illustrates the School's ambition: develop an international network that is demanding, selective and aligned with its academic, educational and scientific priorities, while guaranteeing a high quality welcome to its international students.

 

A partnership strategy based on quality and impact

 

BSB pursues a policy voluntarily qualitative rather than quantitative in terms of international partnerships. Recently signed agreements focus on institutions accredited (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS), recognized for their academic excellence, their potential for educational and scientific collaboration, as well as their complementarity with BSB's areas of expertise.

 

Some of the emblematic partnerships concluded in recent months include:

  • Tongji University — School of Economics and Management (Shanghai, China) — AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS
  • University of Warsaw (Poland) — AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS
  • Maastricht University (Netherlands) — AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS
  • FGV EBAPE (Brazil) — AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS
  • HEC Montreal (Canada) — AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS
  • UC Davis (United States) — AACSB

These agreements reinforce BSB's presence in strategic areas (Europe, Americas, Asia, Middle East) and consolidate its position among leading international academic institutions

 

Focus on two new structuring partnerships signed in December

 

American University of Dubai (United Arab Emirates)

Accredited AACSB, the American University of Dubai becomes a new strategic partner of BSB in the Middle East. The signed agreement provides for:

  • Student exchanges over academic semesters as well as Winter and Summer Schools,
  • Perspectives of academic and scientific collaboration, with initial exchanges initiated around themes such as artificial intelligence, data science, experimental economics and consumer behavior.

These scientific cooperations will be the subject of gradual developments, now made possible by the formalization of the partnership.

 

Franco-Vietnamese Management Center (Vietnam)

Establishment EFMD accredited on its two flagship programs (MBA English Track and Master of Economics, Banking and Finance), the Franco-Vietnamese Center for Management joins BSB's partner network via a academic exchange agreement.

This partnership strengthens BSB's presence in Southeast Asia and opens up new mobility opportunities in a region with high academic and economic potential.

 

An international network with a strong upmarket move

 

The partnerships signed over the recent period clearly illustrate the trajectory undertaken by BSB:

  • a majority of agreements concluded with AACSB, AMBA and/or EQUIS accredited institutions,
  • several partnerships with institutions triple-accredited,
  • an emphasis on projects with high added value: semester exchanges, double degrees, short programs, faculty exchange and research collaborations.

This dynamic contributes directly to the enrichment of student careers, while supporting the development of joint academic and scientific projects.

 

Renewal of the Bienvenue en France label — level 2

 

BSB also announces the Renewal of its Bienvenue en France label at level 2, awarded by the Campus France commission during the December 2025 session.

This label distinguishes French higher education institutions committed to a structured and demanding approach in welcoming international students.

 

Maintaining this level of certification recognizes in particular:

  • The quality and accessibility of information,
  • The reception and administrative support systems,
  • the environment for studying and living on campus,
  • support for professional integration,
  • BSB's commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development.

 

A strong international ambition

 

Through these new agreements and this institutional recognition, BSB confirms its desire to building a coherent, demanding and sustainable international ecosystem, at the service of its students, its teacher-researchers and its academic partners.

This strategy is fully in line with the School's mission: to train talents capable of evolving in complex multicultural environments, while actively participating in major contemporary economic, societal and scientific challenges.
