The Global BBA proposes a Double Degree with 11 international partner institutions. 

You'll find here a presentation of our Double Degree programme and its requirements.

Each semester, over 25 students join us to start a Double Degree at ESSEC. Though created on a common basis, each partner's Double Degree has its specificities. We created this page to help you navigate the program. If you have a doubt about the process, please contact us.

What is a Double Degree ?

A Double Degree is a joint program that allows you to study at two top institutions and receive two degrees, one from each institution. It allows you to gain a more comprehensive knowledge of Business-related aspects as well as enhancing your intercultural competence, as you're able to study in two different countries for two or more semesters. 

Students spend a minimum of two semesters at the partner institution, and also carry out a six-month internship often in the host country. This adds to their knowledge and understanding about the country and adds a professional dimension to their academic experience, in line with ESSEC's 'learning by doing' approach.  

In a very competitive job market, students can differentiate themselves from others and add great value to their résumé. 

A word about the dissertation process and course offer

Each Double Degree being agreed upon between 2 institutions, students may have to follow a different process for dissertation. Indeed, some partners choose to supervize their students' thesis, others will let us take care of these steps. If you need more information about it you can contact us. Below you'll find information about the system in place at ESSEC for students under our supervision.

Aditionally, Double Degree students must take specific courses while studying at ESSEC. Some of the courses are compulsory and some others are eligible. It's important for the students to pick the appointed courses when registering online in order to comply with the requirements and make sure to validate the right content.

Details about the course registration rules and the course available to Double Degree students are mentioned below.
