Ib in Switzerland and France

Hey, what are the target schools for ebs in preferably Switzerland or maybe france for bachelors?
Can you break it in with bachelors or do you need masters in the start and do the firms sponsor visa easily?

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.
