In keeping with the tradition of pioneering education to meet the demands of today's society, the top level international MBAs are designed to train future international business leaders who can operate with vision, innovation, and collaboration in a dynamic and changing global environment. The top MBAs have been dedicated to providing leadership, creativity, and understanding in international business education and focus on the development of key competencies with multicultural, entrepreneurial, and global dimensions for international management.

In France, most of the MBA participant body represents a diverse and talented group of professionals representing a wide range of ages, disciplines, and cultures. The participant to an MBA in France follows an English-speaking programme combined with a French culture in a multicultural environment. In order to create real awareness and understanding of the multicultural issues facing global business managers, most MBA programmes, the ENPC MBA in particular , seek to provide an intercultural team focus with geographic dimensions. There are no dominating cultures in the most famous MBAs in France, but a determinedly multicultural approach with a well-balanced representation of different economical zones, without the predominance of one over the other one.

This is the reason why, participants are placed in culturally diverse teams for project collaboration and problem-solving. There are courses offered on key business regions for more in-depth market studies. In order to sharpen local market knowledge, participants can also choose from study trips or exchange programmes with reputable universities around the world. Although the participants have different needs and aspirations for professional life, they share the learning philosophy for vision, innovation, and collaboration. This multicultural environment is reinforced by a multicultural core of international faculty. Aside from a roster of successful international business professionals and entrepreneurs, a majority of the teaching faculty is drawn from prestigious universities all around the world. The visiting faculty teaches for short, intensive periods bringing the latest developments in their field which is communicated through their culture and teaching methodology. They come from famous universities such as MIT, UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, Oxford University, London Business School, Imperial College, Todai University and others.
