Build the leadership skills and essential business knowledge to become a manager in a company with an international outlook or to start your own business.
At EM Normandie, the Bachelor's degree takes place in three years (Year 1 admission) or in one year after two years of higher education (Year 3 admission).

In three years, become a middle manager highly valued by companies.

Usually half of the programme consists of general education classes, such as marketing, human resources, accounting, communication, finance and advanced business software. Many programmes incorporate training and practical experience, in the form of case studies, presentations, internships, industry visits and interaction with industry experts.
Career opportunities after a BBA exist in a variety of sectors including human resources, education, government, retail, private business and banking.
