Frequently asked questions
Is Paris Business Academy a university?
No. PBA is a higher-education network that places international students onto English-taught programmes at its six member business schools. Its own site is explicit that PBA acts as a commercial partner and that each programme is run and awarded by the delivering school. Ask us which school awards your qualification before you accept an offer.
Do I need French to study through Paris Business Academy?
Not for admission. The programmes PBA publishes are taught in English and ask for IELTS 6.0. French is still worth starting early, because you will need it for part-time work, internships and daily life in France.
What does it cost and when can I start?
PBA publishes EUR 10,000 per year for its Level 6 Bachelor programmes and EUR 18,000 for the two-year Global MBA, with intakes in March, June and October. Fees differ by member school and programme, so confirm the exact figure with us before you budget.
