In France you need masters, it is the norm there.
Target schools are :
- top business schools: HEC, ESSEC, ESCP (, EDHEC, EM Lyon)
- top engineering schools: Polytechnique, Centrale-Supelec, Mines Paristech, ENPC, Telecom Paris, ...
- Sciences-Po Paris
(- Dauphine)
I don't know much about Switzerland, and I do not know if there is a lot of IB activity there, but St-Gallen is for sure a top target.
For Switzerland (the only real target is HSG, but I have listed other noticeable schools):
Business Schools: HSG (St.Gallen), Zurich, HEC Lausanne
Engineering Schools: ETH, EPFL
Overall it is hard to understate HSG's dominance in the sector in Switzerland, by far your best shot out of all those for IB. You can break in with a Bachelor only but most people have a Master, firm sponsoring is easy for EU citizens and much harder for non-EU citizens.
