Why France, why Excelia
International accreditation, French recognition and Indian equivalence are different checks. Confirm each one for your exact programme before enrolling.
AACSB · EQUIS · AMBA · EFMD
Excelia Business School quadruple accreditation
2018
France–India mutual recognition agreement
Excelia Business School holds quadruple accreditation: AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA and EFMD Accredited — placing it among about 1% of business schools worldwide. Excelia Hotel & Tourism School holds UNWTO TedQual.
French master-level recognition may involve a Master's degree, RNCP level 7, a state ‘visa’ or ‘grade de Master’, where applicable. These designations are not interchangeable; check the exact qualification awarded.
Working while you study
Part-time work can add experience and help with everyday expenses. It is not a replacement for your funding plan.
964 hours
Annual work limit for eligible student permit holders
≈20 hours/week
A term-time planning guide, not a separate legal weekly limit
Eligible student residence-permit holders may work up to 964 hours per year. Opportunities can include campus jobs, student ambassador roles, hospitality and retail, or tutoring. Availability, language requirements and recruitment vary.
Internships (stages) form part of our programmes where included in the curriculum. In France, internships lasting more than 2 months generally require a legal minimum stipend; the internship agreement and applicable rules determine the details.
Income from part-time work should not be counted in your visa proof of funds.
