Yes, through our dual accreditations, EQUIS and AMBA.

EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) is an international system of strategic audit and accreditation designed for the assessment of institutions. It was launched in 1997 by the EFMD that brought together the key European operators in a common initiative. As Europe's largest network association in the field of management development, with 400 members from academia, business, public service and consultancy in 40 countries of Europe and the world, EFMD plays a central role in shaping the European approach to management education.
EQUIS has been designed through a process of close cooperation between existing national accreditation bodies in the field of management education assembled in an association called EQUAL. The role of EQUAL was to define criteria and procedures of a future European accreditation system. Now that EQUIS is operational, EQUAL contributes to the monitoring of the system and provides qualified assessors for the audit teams.
EQUIS can only be obtained by an academic institution and not by an educational programme. There are only 64 educational institutions in Europe that obtained the EQUIS accreditation.

IAE Aix en Provence received its EQUIS accreditation for the first time in 1999. It has been always renewed since.

The Association of MBA's objectives are to promote the MBA to institutions, prospective students and employers, and to ensure the quality of programmes.

An accreditation process was established to secure these objectives. The accreditation has an international focus, and assesses the characteristics of a business school and its MBA programmes against a set of criteria established by the International Accreditation Advisory Board.

In 2004, the IAE Aix MBA C&I was awarded for the first time AMBA accreditation by the Association of MBAs, becoming the first and only MBA programme within the French public university system to receive this distinction. It has always been renewed since.

EMBA and MBA C&I candidates will graduate with two Master-level business degrees: an international MBA degree (AMBA and Equis accredited - see below) and a French national Master in General Management.  This constitutes a double-degree for all graduates. 

Most importantly, participants will gain a life-altering experience better positioning you to go forward as a leader in business.

And finaly they also will get an International and multicultural experience and a personalized follow up from the Career Service Center, starting from the beginning of the academic year, and a long term follow up throughout their career path

The MBA Change & Innovation builds a solid foundation in all things relevant in today’s business environment (finance, marketing, strategy, economics, etc.) but also has classes devoted to less tangible ideas such as Change Management.  Business is not always black and white, and we feel that these theoretical classes are very valuable to participants.

Our Career Services Centre is here to work with participants every step of the way to find a career path that is right for them.  We will leverage our network of corporate partners to help place participants.  The job prospects and salary, however, will depend upon which sector you hope to work in.

Yes, IAE Aix has a very active Alumni network with nearly 15,000 members in nearly 120 countries around the world.
