Novancia, a new school dedicated to equipping a new generation of managers with skills in both business and entrepreneurship, experts in business development. Novancia suggests an original educational model, with a grande école curriculum in two stages: the Bachelor (accessible directly from secondary school) and the Master 1 (open to students who have completed at least 3 years of postsecondary education). Bachelor students may spend up to 12 months in internships over the 3 years. They may spend their third year working and studying under the apprenticeship model. From their first year students will become familiar with intercultural issues through study abroad and international internships.
