With 40 years of experience in managing national and international projects, 3A School trains students to bring together local stakeholders in each of the so-called developing continents. The name 3A symbolizes Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

Throughout the training program, students at 3A are supported by our teams so they can put their knowledge of international project management into practice in these regions. They are encouraged to take part in individual or group internships to gain real-world experience.

Depending on their choice of specialization, MBA students are required to travel to Africa (Senegal, Ivory Coast, Benin, etc.) as part of a year-long project to carry out a local development project. Accompanied by one of our experts in international cooperation, they work with an NGO or local association focused on economic, educational, food, or other development to implement an initiative as part of the creation of a technical and financial dossier or a financial impact study. It is through meeting local actors and coming into contact with the realities on the ground that our students become more professional.

School 3A is also an international school in terms of its openness. In addition to the mobility opportunities offered throughout the program, it promotes and integrates multiculturalism into its curriculum by welcoming many students from a wide range of countries.
