About Savoie
Savoy area stretches around the Mont-Blanc from the surroundings of Grenoble to the
South to the borders of Leman lake (Geneva) to the North and Italian borders to the East.
In being close to different countries, Savoy enjoys a vibrant, productive and open-minded
atmosphere, especially in the field of economic life.
Its dynamics are well known for being based upon individual entrepreneurship and people
from Savoy have a great ability to create companies. For the last two centuries, a large
number of companies have blossomed in fields such as the automotive industry (within the
automotive valley between Chamonix and Geneva) or the ski industry with some world
leaders (Salomon, Dynastar, Millet, Quecha).
Other great market leaders set up in the Pays de Savoie, for instance MOBALPA (French
kitchen manufacturer leader), MAPED (world stationary market leader), NTN-SNR (the
mechanical industry), Eaux d’Evian (in the
food and beverage industry), Opinel, the
famous knife.
Moreover, some Savoy natives are at the
origin of the supermarket industry, such as
Louise Jay who established the famous
Parisian big store, la Samaritaine, in the 19th
Century and Fournier family who created
Carrefour
(second
world
ranking
supermarket chain).
This entrepreneurial culture, orientated
towards hard-working, persevering and
well-done work, has enabled the Savoy to
be one of the wealthiest areas in France.
The important tourist attractiveness, particularly with the numerous ski resorts in the Alps
such as Chamonix, Courchevel, Val d’Isere or Tignes, complete this positive dynamics.
In brief, Savoy is the perfect place to be in short and long terms: a short period for winter
or summer holidays and a long period for a professional activity combined with an exclusive
quality of life.

work and study programmes, and for internships for full-time
students. IPAC Community, our network of more than 4000
alumni can vouch for this with their professional integration.
A specific emphasis is made on language learning, a necessary
skill for today’s professional life. In addition to face-to-face classes
(Chinese, English, German, Italian and Spanish), we offer
complementary tools, adapted to each one’s level: Tell Me More
and IPAC Live Speaking.
IPAC ranks 20th in the Figaro’s Top 50 French business schools for Bachelor programmes

Study at IPAC
INDIVIDUAL FOLLOW-UP
IPAC difference is based on the follow-up done with each individual student.
During their entire curriculum, either full-time students or part-time students in work
and study programmes have to attend group and individual meetings with their course
leader. Course leaders and careers advisers also help students to find an apprenticeship
placement or an internship in a company.
Mid-term and final individual evaluations are done in the company where the student is
in internship/apprenticeship.
The course leader is the student’s academic supervisor during the entire curriculum.
STUDENTS’ UNION
CrazIPAC is in charge of animating and organising sports and entertainment activities.

Academics and accreditations
FRENCH HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM
ACCREDITATIONS
IPAC offers different types of programmes, each one with a different recognition.
Preparatory classes:
These classes allow to help people who wish to sit entrance exams for higher education
social institutes. There is no grade, no transcript of records, no recognition. The final
recognition is given to the students who were successful in the entrance exam and who
have successfully followed the whole higher education curriculum in the selected
institute.
Brevets de Technicien Superieur:
In accordance with the Local Education Authority (rectorat) and the national guidebook,
IPAC gives BTS classes. Students enroll in the national exam at the end of their 2nd year
and if successful, they validate a Brevet de Technicien Superieur, national 2-year higher
education degree (European Qualifications Framework, level 5), with 120 ECTS credits.
National Diploma in Accountancy and Administration and National Diploma
in Advanced Accountancy and Administration:
Thanks to a partnership with the CNAM (National School of Engineering and
Technology / Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), IPAC offers the National Diploma
in Accountancy and Administration and the National Diploma in Advanced Accountancy
and Administration programmes. These two diplomas are State diplomas.
11
The National Diploma in Accountancy and Administration is equivalent to a Bachelor
degree, European Qualifications Framework Level 6, 180 ECTS credits.
The National Diploma in Advanced Accountancy and Administration is equivalent to a
Master degree, European Qualifications Framework Level 7, 300 ECTS credits.
Bachelors and MBAs
IPAC Bachelors and MBAs allow validating State-recognised degrees, which are
registered on the Répertoire National de la Certification Professionnelle (RNCP) / National
Register of Vocational Diplomas.
The Commission Nationale de la Certification Professionelle (CNCP) / National Commission
of Vocational Certifications is the national awarding body and is related to the French
Prime Minister. The CNCP decisions affects all Ministries and can validate / accredit
degrees or diplomas: Education (the most famous ministry), but also Ministry of Labour,
Ministry of Social Affairs, Agriculture, Defence. Example: National Education State
diplomas are registered on the RNCP.
The Commission manages the RNCP which registers all the diplomas delivered in
France.
Registration on the RNCP gives national recognition to the diploma for the level of
qualification.
French Level 1 (European Qualifications Framework Level 7) = Master/MBA degree,
Bac+5;
French Level II (European Qualifications Framework Level 6) = Bachelor degree, Bac+3;
French Level III (European Qualifications Framework Level 5) = Brevet de Technicien
Supérieur (BTS), Bac+2;
Bachelors are French Level II and MBAs
are French Level I.
Graduated students are awarded an
IPAC
degree,
a
certificate
of
achievement to the diploma and a
diploma supplement, which obtained the
Label from the European Commission in
2012.
THE BMD SYSTEM
Here are some explanations about the
Bachelor, Master and Doctorate
European reform in the higher
education system:
In order to harmonize with the European Higher Education system, the French system
has transfered to a 3-degree system: the Bachelor (Licence in French), the Master and
the Doctorate. This new organization, called “B.M.D.” enhances European students
mobility, the transfer in different specialities and among other professional training
programmes. The French BTS (Brevet de Technicien Superieur) remains a choice of
short studies and is mainly taught in an apprenticeship scheme.
This reform includes a modularisation of programmes with a semestrialisation of each
year. Each semester is worth 30 ECTS credits in order to make academic mobility
easier.
Semester 1 = September – December/January
Semester 2 = December/January – June
12
The system has been gradually implemented since 2006 at IPAC, according to the
European directive.
ECTS
The new BMD European Higher Education system is organised into semesters. Each
semester is worth 30 credits of E.C.T.S. (European Credit Transfer System). This is
common to most European countries: a Bachelor is made of 6 semesters and validates
180 ECTS credits; a MBA is made of 4 additional semesters and is worth 300 ECTS
credits. 1 ECTS equals from 20 to 30 hours of workload. This foundation has been
validated by IPAC Academic board.
The European credit transfer and accumulation system is a system centred on the
student. It is based on the workload necessary for a student to achieve the programme’s
learning outcomes in terms of knowledge and skills to acquire. A credit system is a
method that allows to give credits to each element of a study programme. The definition
of a credit in the Higher Education is based on the following criteria: student workload,
number of class hours and objectives of the programme.
The ECTS grade scale ranges from A to F as follows:
ECTS grade
A
IPAC grade
17 ≤ grade ≤ 20
B
14 ≤ grade ≤ 16.99
C
12 ≤ grade ≤ 13.99
D
10 < grade ≤ 11.99
E
FX
F
grade = 10
06 ≤ grade ≤ 09.99
grade ≤ 05.99
Definition
EXCELLENT - outstanding performance with only minor
errors
VERY GOOD - above the average standard but with some
errors
GOOD - generally sound work with a number of notable
errors
SATISFACTORY - fair but with significant shortcomings
or RESIT MARK
SUFFICIENT - performance meets the minimum criteria
FAIL - possible resit
FAIL - subject must be resit
THE DIPLOMA SUPPLEMENT
The diploma supplement is a
document added to the higher
education degree. Its purpose is to
provide sufficient independent data
to improve the international
‘transparency’ and fair academic
and professional recognition of
qualifications (diplomas, degrees,
certificates etc.). It is designed to
provide a description of the nature,
level, context, content and status of
the studies that were pursued and
successfully completed by the
individual named on the original
13
qualification to which this supplement is appended. It should be free from any value
judgments, equivalence statements or suggestions about recognition. The diploma
supplement is delivered by national institutions according to the model designed by a
work group composed of the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the
UNESCO. Each graduate student must receive automatically and free of charge a
diploma supplement, written in a largely understandable European language.
IPAC was delivered the Diploma Supplement Label by the European Commission in
2012.
LANGUAGE LEARNING
At IPAC, language learning is a major development objective. In this way, a
complementary work on the e-learning software Tell Me More is offered to students in
Bachelor in International Business and Bachelor in Tourism.
Annual access is also available for other IPAC students.
Another e-learning solution is IPAC Live Speaking with face to face individual courses
with native teachers.
Information: Audrey Abbonen [email protected]
THE ACADEMIC BOARD
At IPAC, academic programmes are centered on the development of professional skills.
Therefore, each module includes general theory knowledge and periods of practical
applications to validate the targeted skills.
Head of Academics: Olivia Bestenti
The head of academics is in charge of the general academics and the institutional
coordination of the ECTS system.
The Academic Board is divided into several study units. Each one is managed by a study
unit coordinator.
These coordinators are in charge of harmonizing the different subjects within the study
unit, writing the content of the modules and the exams for their Study Unit.
The course leaders are in charge of the operational implementation of their programme
and students’ follow-up. They are the link between students and lecturers.
The name and contact of each course leader is available in each programme’s guide
book.
14
Apprenticeship and internship
APPRENTICESHIP
The apprenticeship learning system is a specific system combining courses in a school
and work in a company according to a specific calendar.
The student is employed by a company and follows his courses at IPAC in order to
validate a degree / diploma with State accreditation.
There are two types of working contracts: contract of apprenticeship and contract of
professionalization. Each one of these contracts has special features for the company,
the employee and the school.
For any information, contact the careers adviser for the selected programme.
INTERNSHIPS
All students following a full-time programme have to do one or several mandatory
internships in a company.
The student is responsible for finding an
internship, as this process is an integral
part of the development of professional
skills. However, IPAC receives a lot of
internship offers from companies
looking for interns in a large range of
activities and missions.
These
internship
offers
are
communicated to students by the
course leaders, campus directors or
careers advisors.
Internships are covered by a tripartite
internship agreement between the
company, the student and IPAC,
according to the legislation in force.
Each party is liable for the good running of this agreement.
During the internship period, the course leader or careers advisor is in charge of the
internship follow-up. Usually, the follow-up is done in the workplace with the manager
(tutor) of the student and the student himself.
The assessment of the professional experience is done with two assessment grids
(intermediate and final) which are filled up by the student’s tutor in the company.
Internship periods are an integral part of the study programme and give credits at
Bachelor and MBA levels.
15
Quality system
The objective of the ISO standard is no longer destined to demonstrate the application
of procedures. It requires proving that measurable objectives are set and achieved and
that the necessary means are implemented to reach them.
In the field of education and student life, we have used existing European plans to define
those objectives.
Therefore, this year, we have decided to improve students’ success. After a deep
analysis of previous year results, each campus has to set an action plan. Absenteeism is
the main reason for failure of exams, so our campuses have to measure and significantly
reduce this rate.
Transparency
We have a strong will to give objective and impartial information. It is mainly based on
the following points:
- information on students’ success (success rate for each class, for each campus)
- information on employability (number of alumni with a job or following their studies)
- assessment of students (what is the objective ?, which are the assessment methods?,
have the students understood them correctly?)
- need to work on the rigor for the organization and the vigilation of exams to prove
that the assessment reflects the reality.
Since 2000, IPAC is ISO 9001 certified (now version 2008).
IPAC quality system allows to maintain an unifying structure in the different processes.
ASSESSMENT PROCESS
The implementation of modularization per semester
allows to develop a clear and homogenous assessment
system.
So, for any 1st cycle programme (except preparatory
classes and DCG), each subject is assessed with a
minimum of 2 tests (worth 50%) and a final exam
(worth 50%).
For any 2nd cycle programme (except DSCG), each
subject is assessed with a 1-hour test (weighted 40%)
and a final case study per study unit (weighted 60%).
Bachelor and MBA programmes include a retake
session at the end of the year for the students who
would need to re-sit any exam they have not validated.
16
For BTS students, the average marks obtained are given to the Local Education
Authority (‘rectorat’) on the students’ school report books.
At the end of the final Bachelor and MBA year, a deliberating committee combining a
group of academics and a group of professionals, according to the CNCP demand,
decides on the graduation of students.
Any student who has been rejected can sit the retake session for the two following
years only.
THE 0-HOUR LOSS PROCESS
If a lecturer is absent, the class has to take place. The class can be done by another
lecturer, replaced by another class or postponed.
THE NON-ATTENDANCE MONITORING PROCESS
All students have to sign the attendance sheet, which is the reference document for
class-attendance. All classes are mandatory, so non-attendance is scrupulously tracked.
QUALITY DOCUMENTS
All the documents of the academic process are harmonized. So class programmes,
syllabus, tests and exams headers are harmonized.
THE QUALITY SURVEY PROCESS
Every year, the main IPAC interlocutors are asked to answer a quality survey. Students
have to participate to a satisfaction survey, weighting the following items: information
and communication, equipment, administrative services, programmes and academic
objectives, student services. Company tutors are also asked to answer a quality survey.
Moreover, according to the CNCP requirements, each student who has graduated with
a recognized IPAC diploma, must inform us about his professional integration, in
particular the business sector in which he is working, the type of contract he has, his
status in the company and his annual wage growth, during 4 years after graduation. This
information allows us to follow our alumni professional careers and also for the CNCP
to renew our diplomas.
THE SUGGESTION SLIP
Each person related to IPAC can give to the Quality Department a suggestion slip. This
document allows to pass a malfunction or suggestion of improvement to the Managing
Committee.
This document is available from the campus director or the quality department.
17

TUITION FEES
Tuition fees depend on the selected programme.
Information at the Reception or International office for non EU-students.

19
Student support
CAREERS ADVISORS
For each part-time programme, a careers advisor is in charge of the relationship with
the companies for student’s placement and working contract. He is also in charge of the
follow-up in the workplace.
APPRENTICESHIP FAIR
Each year, each campus organises an apprenticeship fair,
mid May. This fair allows “job dating” between companies
and applicants to the different part-time programmes
proposed by IPAC. This fair is a major event as
professionals can meet a large number and different types
of applicants on a very short period and applicants can
meet different types of companies for their future parttime studies.

Day. Applicants and their parents can discover IPAC and
our programmes. Course leaders are available to answer
questions. Careers advisors help applicants to chose their
orientation. IPAC partners and major service providers
also attend the fair to present their offer and help students
with administrative issues (accommodation, health,
transport, insurance).
From January, every Wednesdays afternoon, careers advisors welcome applicants for
information sessions.

diplomas.
