The IGS Group is a federation of schools and institutes specialized in initial training and continual education courses that work together around the same concepts - the International Professional University, and a common academic system organised around equivalent ratings in cooperation with more than sixty universities and state-run or private schools in France and abroad.

The academic system of the International Professional University (UPI) enables the students, apprentices or sandwich course students, as well as professionals on continuous learning courses:

• • to study for approved qualifications and university diplomas which are recognizedin France and/or accredited abroad (by the AACSB in the USA for example) in 7 different options depending on skill requirements or career paths :

• to follow vocationalcourses which allow them to study, develop their abilities and acquire skills, which have been defined in collaboration with top professionals.
  
  
• to benefit from opportunities to study abroad and to change courses thanks to a transparent and coordinated system of equivalence ratings and credit transfers in Europe (ECTS), America and Asia.

The academic system is based on modules
Each program has mandatory modules and optional modules. When a module is successfully completed then ’credits’ are awarded which validate the course, the internship, in-company assignments or professional thesis.

The UPI’s academic system enables students to benefit from:

• A personalized study path: , all students become actively involved in their training and in fixing their professional goals.
