Overview
ICN International College is a newly launched pathway institution in France designed to prepare international students for higher-education success in business and management. It’s delivered through a strategic collaboration between ICN Business School—a well-established French business school with triple-accreditation—and Navitas, offering foundation and pre-master’s programmes that include academic core subjects, language support, and study skills to help students transition smoothly into degree study.
History
ICN International College is a recent initiative that will open from Autumn 2024 on the Paris La Défense campus of ICN Business School, aimed at international students seeking structured academic pathways into higher education in France. It builds on ICN Business School’s long history and reputation—ICN Business School was originally founded in 1905 as the Institut Commercial de Nancy and has evolved into a triple-accredited institution with campuses in Paris, Nancy and Berlin.
