Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the DBA training?

If you complete your year under a professionalization contract or an apprenticeship contract, your company pays the tuition fees for your training. The remaining cost is therefore zero.

On the other hand, if you are on a work-study program or in initial training, you will have to pay the tuition fees. To learn more about our rates, contact us directly.

Can I do my training abroad?

International openness is a major challenge for us. From your second year at Ascencia Business School, you have the possibility to obtain a double degree in one of our partner universities. You will return with a certificate from this foreign university and the equivalent French title.

Ascencia is also developing internationally through the opening of Ascencia International, a network of schools located abroad, where you can study our programs directly on site.
