IES Abroad Nice – Business, Sustainability & Immigration in France

IES Abroad

The glittering blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the friendly ding of the tram as it passes by, the taste of fresh seafood, the smell of fresh-cut flowers at the Old Town Market—Nice is a feast for your senses, and this majestic city will enchant you, welcome you, and always leave you wanting more.

Nice’s spectacular location makes it a jewel in the Mediterranean region, one of the oldest trading regions in the world. Often described as an area of mutual economic, social, and cultural exchange, this ancient trading ground is now threatened by human pressure on delicately linked social and ecological systems.

With some of the highest real estate prices in the world, a changing climate, and a vulnerable economy based on tourism, the region is a laboratory for sustainability, where crisis, adaptation, and resilience can be studied in real time. Our program in Nice allows you to observe first-hand (through course-related trips, case studies, and field trips) some of the linked social and environmental challenges facing this fragile region.

You will take your area studies courses at the IES Abroad Center. You will also have the options of supplementing your IES Abroad courses with Business courses at the AACSB- and EQUIS-accredited SKEMA Business School, named one of the best European business schools by the Financial Times. The school is committed to promoting sustainability and corporate social responsibility, with more than 20% of their courses devoted to these principles. SKEMA is located in nearby Sophia Antipolis, a global research park known as the French Silicon Valley, and home to more than 1,300 high-tech companies and start-ups. Enhance your experience in Nice with an internship, which includes time spent working at your placement and an academic seminar that helps you contextualize what you’re learning.

Nice and the French Riviera will be your classroom. Imagine yourself walking the medieval cobblestone streets of the Old Town, hiking the incredible biodiversity of the region, or visiting Monaco for the day. Whether you’re an advanced French language student or a beginner, this program offers full immersion into the culture of Nice through courserelated trips, cultural activities, and volunteer opportunities.
