ICN runs several admission rounds from autumn to late spring for September entry. Non-EU applicants should apply by March or April so there's time for Campus France and the visa.
The main intake is September. Some master's and bachelor's tracks also take a January cohort.
A long-stay student visa (VLS-TS). For most nationalities the process starts on Campus France's Études en France platform, then moves to the consulate with proof of funds and accommodation.
The Master in Management is the flagship, with MSc and bachelor's programmes taught in English. Master's entry needs a bachelor's degree, an interview and IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. GMAT or GRE helps but is not always required.
ICN offers some merit-based tuition reductions for international students, decided at admission. Also look at the French government's Eiffel scholarships and your own government's schemes.
