THE GRAND SCHOOL PROGRAM
BUSINESS & DATA

ALBERT SCHOOL's Business & Data Grande Ecole Program offers a complete post-bac curriculum over 5 years. It allows students to acquire a double competence based on the fundamentals of Business and Data. Years 4 & 5 allow students to specialize and can be done in alternation. It is aimed at students with an appetite for mathematics and a desire to move towards the business world.

TRAINING THE LEADERS OF THE ECONOMY OF TOMORROW

The increase in storage capacity and the explosion in computing power have transformed data into an unlimited source of information and intelligence. Data is a strategic resource for business growth.

The hybrid Business and Data skills taught in the post-baccalaureate Grande Ecole program offered by ALBERT SCHOOL meet a strong demand from companies and promote rapid career development by preparing students for highly specialized data professions such as data analysts, data scientists, data strategists, etc., as well as experts in marketing, finance and supply with tools and an approach focused on data.

The Business Deep Dives, the pedagogical signature of the Albert School Bachelor's program, help to anchor data issues in a business reality. They are implemented in partnership with leading companies in their sector, convinced of the urgent need to train talents capable of bridging the gap between business and data.

Joining the Grande Ecole Paris program means finding the best of both business schools and engineering schools in a generalist program with numerous opportunities: Master's degrees in finance, entrepreneurship, data, marketing, blockchain, etc. Your dual understanding of the technical and business worlds opens many doors for you.

A word from the SPONSOR

"Success is three things: hard work, luck, and human relationships."

The best way to prepare for these changes, both collectively and individually, is through education, and so national education must transform itself, higher education must transform itself, but we also need initiatives such as the Albert School, which will enable us to equip and train people to face the times ahead.

Why award an RNCP title rather than a Bachelor or Master degree?

The RNCP 6 and 7 titles are recognized diplomas of Bac+3 and Bac+5 level. The Ministry of Labor is responsible for these degrees.

The Bachelor's degree and the Master's degree are under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

The Commission d'évaluation des formations et diplômes de gestion (CEFDG) is in charge of evaluating the training of private higher education institutions in order to authorize them to deliver the grade de licence or the grade de master.

For both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees, one of the most important criteria is:

"The school must have 50% of PhDs on its permanent teaching staff. [CEFDG evaluation reference]

One of the two pillars of Albert School is to be as close as possible to the business world. Thus, our professors (except in mathematics, an associate professor) are senior executives and experts involved in the business world. From marketing director to investment banker to entrepreneur: they can teach our students about the operational reality of the company.

An RNCP title allows its holder to prove the achievement of skills, abilities and knowledge.

Educational program

FIRST BUSINESS SCHOOL ANCHORED IN DATA

OUR pedagogy

ALBERT SCHOOL develops an innovative, data-centric educational approach to turn students into accomplished professionals in the new economy. ◆◆

ALBERT SCHOOL delivers an education of excellence through a complete curriculum, divided between the quantitative spirit of data and the culture of business sense, hard skills and soft skills.

In the age of data, the school must prepare tomorrow's leaders to acquire the key skills of the 21st century. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube, and the use of smartphones have revolutionized the world and the way we interact. Behind these platforms and concepts, there are new ways of communicating, doing business, teaching and understanding the world, which require a change of mindset.

ALBERT SCHOOL develops an innovative pedagogical approach, itself centered on data, to make students into accomplished professionals of the new economy. ALBERT SCHOOL deploys a pedagogy anchored in...

I CANDIDATE

Our pedagogy

ALBERT SCHOOL's educational signature, they are part of educational partnerships related to the challenges of data with leading companies in their sector. ◆◆

Within the framework of these partnerships with companies that are also convinced of the urgent need to train talents capable of bridging the gap between business and data, Albert School's PGE Business & Data students work for three weeks on data sets made available to our partners, but also interact with members of their teams who will be teaching during the period.

The work is conducted in small groups with learning to be validated individually and a collective report at the end of the cycle.

Our students thus mobilize several areas of knowledge (economics, finance, marketing, strategy, data) and know-how with the objective of developing a deep understanding of the dynamics of corporate life and the strategic levers available to them in the age of Data.

Mentoring sessions to further support students ◆◆

ALBERT SCHOOL has thus modernized the "colles", symbols of the pedagogical excellence of the preparatory classes, and uses them to prepare its students to take on responsibilities in a company.

Each week, in groups of 3 or 4, our students solve problems, exercises, and carry out analyses of mini-case studies in the context of :
◆ Math or Data tests (or "kholles") (1h)
Business tests (or "kholles") (1h)

Let's meet ◆◆

Do you want to know more about ALBERT SCHOOL? The team is available to answer all your questions.

CAREERS & Further Education

The Business & Data Grande Ecole Program combines a solid foundation of theoretical and technical skills in Data and Business with professional immersion in companies through internships, the Business Deep Dive, and possibly a work-study program. Graduates of the Grande Ecole program specialize in years 4 and 5. Visit the Specialized Masters pages to discover all the opportunities.

ALBERT SCHOOL does more than train for a profession. The school prepares tomorrow's leaders with key skills: ◆◆

Collaboration

"Alone we go faster, together we go further." (African proverb)
At ALBERT SCHOOL, we train our students to work together to find solutions to complex situations
during our Business Deep Dives developed exclusively with our partners (Carrefour, LVMH...). In the age of data, group work is essential, whether it is face-to-face or remote. Knowing how to work collaboratively is an essential skill in education and later in professional life. Knowing how to collaborate implies a mastery of communication values, an aptitude for empathy and strong leadership. 

Complex & Open Problem Solving

Solving complex open problems is one of the most valued skills in business. Our daily environment is undergoing dramatic changes due to technological developments and climate change. Our students will have to face challenges in the future that require them to know how to define a problem, design and implement appropriate solutions. In such a context of change, leaders must be solution-oriented: solving complex problems is therefore essential to develop the ability to make decisions efficiently and quickly.

Critical thinking

ALBERT SCHOOL trains talents capable of thinking for themselves, capable of using tools, of gathering evidence, of processing data, of discarding it, of being critical. In a word, to make sense of them. Critical thinking, as a process of questioning information, is fundamental to making better decisions and understanding things through the reasonable and unbiased analysis, examination and interpretation of data in order to derive a usable and reasonable understanding.

Productivity

Productivity is the ability to create using the following skills: setting and achieving goals, prioritising needs, managing time, working ethically, collaborating and cooperating with colleagues and clients.

ALBERT SCHOOL guarantees its students numerous job opportunities, starting with opportunities in its renowned partner companies (LVMH, Carrefour, BCG Gamma, etc.) and assists them in their applications.

LVMH, JOW, PERNOD RICARD, CAJOO, CARREFOUR, SPENDESK, LUKO, CAPGEMINI, IBM, BLACKROCK, NABLA, YNSECT, SUNDAY, STOÏK, GOOGLE, EMERIA, ILIAD, VOODOO, PAYFIT, BIG MAMMA, DOCTRINE, KARD, ALAN, WEMAINTAIN, BCG GAMMA, ...

Work-study programs provide a springboard for professional insertion. Students who have completed a work-study program are very attractive to employers and find their first job quickly.

ALBERT SCHOOL benefits from privileged access to work-study offers from its partner companies.

Our opportunities and expertise

Xavier Niel | Founder Iliad

"While French Tech is experiencing a meteoric acceleration, we now have a critical training issue to accompany this dynamic.
Our start-ups need professionals who speak the language of data; our unicorns are recruiting hundreds of them; our largest companies are imitating them. The launch of ALBERT fills me with enthusiasm. It is a great lever for our youth and the whole country.

ALBERT SCHOOL TARGETS 100% POST-CURRICULUM EMPLOYABILITY IN TRENCHING PROFESSIONS

Albert School's strategy is to train students for the most innovative and promising professions on the market. By developing hybrid Business and Data skills, students are positioned towards a strong demand from companies and a rapid career evolution.

Albert School's degrees provide the skills needed by companies to operate, manage and develop data-driven solutions.

A dedicated career service and a mentor assigned to each student throughout their studies

Admissions

Who can apply?

At ALBERT SCHOOL, we believe that everyone can achieve great things and we look for the minds that will shape the world of tomorrow. The hardest part is identifying them and that's our job.

The St. Albert School applies a rigorous selection process to its students, while ensuring that it offers financial aid to enable the best students, no matter where they come from, to join.

Anyone can apply, but please note that a particular taste for mathematics and an interest in the business world are required!

How to apply?

Registration is 100% free and 100% online. It takes place in two phases:

Phase 1 - Pre-selection of applications based on an admission file (report cards, Albert School online logic test, etc.).
Phase 2 - In case of eligibility at the end of phase 1, candidates are invited to an admission interview.

Albert School makes every effort to respond to applicants as quickly as possible. The typical length of time between the start of the application and the admission response is 15 days.

Admission session calendar

Applications for the Albert School's post-baccalaureate programs for the 2023 school year opened on September 20, 2022.

Albert School is implementing a rolling admission system. This system allows students to apply at any time of the year and receive a response within 15 days of the start of their application.

As a result of the rolling admissions system, the end of the recruitment calendar is not known in advance: recruitment for a program stops when all the places for that program have been allocated.

Typically, the campaigns are never closed before January 1 of the year of the start of the school year. It should be noted, however, that the greater the number of applicants, the greater the level of selectivity.

To find out if there are still places available in the program you are interested in, start your registration and fill in the desired program. If the program is not displayed as complete, it means that there are still places available.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at admission@albertschool.com

Initial training & Work-study contracts

ALBERT SCHOOL is a private institution of higher education of excellence. Tuition is therefore not free. The cost of the Grande Ecole program is 12 000€ for years 1, 2 and 3 and 14 000€ for years 4 and 5. The last two years can be done in alternation in which case the cost of the training is paid by the host company.

Tuition should not be a barrier to further study. ALBERT SCHOOL is committed to promoting diversity and social inclusion by making its programs accessible to any student meeting the selection criteria. ◆◆

How can I finance my studies at Albert School?

Scholarships

Actively engaged in promoting diversity and equal opportunity, merit-based scholarships and scholarships based on social criteria can finance all or part of the student's education. Applications for scholarships must be made once you have been admitted.

Staggered payments

Tuition fees can be paid in installments at no charge.

Student loans

Within the framework of a partnership with ALBERT SCHOOL, admitted students have the possibility of taking out a loan with banking institutions (BNP, Société Générale) at a preferential rate. This loan can cover the totality of their tuition fees with a deferred reimbursement at the end of their studies.

The loan application must be made once the student has been admitted.

Work-study contracts - Only for years 4 and 5.

Albert School strongly encourages its Master's students to consider a work-study program. This allows students to finance their studies while providing a springboard to professional integration. Students who have completed a work-study program are very attractive to employers and find their first job quickly. Albert School has privileged access to work-study offers from its partner companies.

All tuition fees are paid by the host company.

As an apprentice, you sign a full-time employment contract (35 hours) and have the status of an employee within the company.

Apprenticeship contract: Remuneration depends on the age of the student and the year of training. A student under 18 receives a salary corresponding to 27% of the minimum wage in the first year, then 39% in the second year and 55% in the final year. A student who has not reached the age of 21 will receive a higher salary of 43% of the SMIC for the first year, 51% the following year and 67% the last year. Apprentices over the age of 21 are paid between 53% and 78% of the SMIC.

Professionalization contract: The salary depends on the age of the student. A student under 21 years of age receives a salary corresponding to 55% of the SMIC. From 21 to 25 years old, the salary corresponds to 70% of the SMIC.

The status of employee no longer allows for the award of a grant during the apprenticeship year.
