An international perspective throughout the Bachelor's program.
From your first year, you'll participate in an international seminar at BSB or one of our 13 partner destinations to improve your language skills and discover another academic culture.
In your second year, you can spend a semester or attend a summer school at one of our 200 partner universities, some of which are world-renowned in Business Development.
In your third year, and in the initial track, you have the opportunity to go even further with a dual degree. For example, BSB opens the doors to Nottingham Trent University, one of the UK's most prestigious universities for business and management, at the heart of an environment where growth strategies, commercial innovation, and new business models are flourishing.
If you complete your third year as a work-study student, you'll remain on campus, but the international experience will come to you.
Between the courses taught in English, the international speakers, the global business case studies and the presence of students from dozens of countries (+80 nationalities on campus), you experience a global immersion without leaving your work-study program.
Result: your International Sustainable Management Bachelor is not limited to Lyon. It is a journey open to the world, where you can explore other approaches to sustainability, test academic or professional experiences abroad, and come back with a committed, analytical and resolutely international profile.
What you will study in the Bachelor in International Sustainable Management at BSB
In addition to core management fundamentals, the third year of the International Sustainable Management specialisation trains you in responsible business models, extra-financial performance assessment and sustainable transition strategies. You will learn to analyse impacts, understand global value chains, mobilise transition stakeholders and communicate effectively on CSR-related challenges.
-
Understand how the global economy is structured and the social and environmental responsibilities at each stage of the value chain. Explore the links between business and sustainability, and the responsible practices adopted by international companies.
-
Gain an introduction to risk management, ESG integration and responsible investment. Learn how to assess overall performance—both financial and non-financial—and how to decarbonise an investment portfolio.
-
Identify key players in the ecological transition and learn how to mobilise an ecosystem around a sustainable project. Analyse new organisational models, sustainable entrepreneurship, and take part in field visits to observe these dynamics in practice.
-
Understand the communication challenges linked to sustainability: green marketing, responsible consumption and environmental awareness. Learn how to communicate credibly and effectively about an organisation’s CSR commitments at an international level.
These courses are complemented by case studies inspired by real-life situations faced by organisations undergoing ecological transition: social and environmental impact analysis, ESG performance assessment, value chain diagnostics, stakeholder management and the design of credible sustainability strategies. They prepare you to integrate an organisation quickly, equipped with the essential skills of tomorrow’s sustainable management professional.
