Excelia Business School (France) announces the launch of a new academic partnership with NSB Academy in Bangalore

Mumbai: Excelia Business School (France) is proud to announce a new academic partnership with NSB Academy in Bangalore, starting from September 2023.

The collaboration of the two higher education institutions will be centered on a graduate bridging programme, where students start their studies in India, and complete them in France. Indian students having already graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from an Indian university are eligible. The programme was initiated by Dr Amitabh Anand, Associated Professor at Excelia Business School, originally from India. It includes 411 credit hours and its overall duration is 24 months.

The graduate bridging programme between Excelia Business School and NSB Academy is structured as follows: selected students will first attend a Pre-Master course at NSB Academy in Bangalore during one year. When they have successfully completed the Pre-Master course, they will have the opportunity to join Excelia’s Business School as part of the cohort of the MSc in International Business Management.

In France, the students will attend the classes in person, on Excelia’s historic campus in La Rochelle. La Rochelle is a beautiful city located 2.5 hours from Paris on the Atlantic coast, famous for its scenic landscapes, architectural heritage as well as dynamic economy.

Prof. Tamym Abdessemed, Dean of Excelia Business School, said: “We are delighted at Excelia Business School to announce our new collaboration with NSB Academy in Bangalore. Academic partnerships represent a great way to develop strong ties with other countries and with India in particular. We are looking forward to hosting more Indian students on our campuses in France, in La Rochelle but also Tours and Paris. We want to see them grow academically and professionally within our MSc programmes and ready to meet with competence and values the professional challenges of our time!”
