Paris School of Technology & Business

What Paris School of Technology & Business does

Paris School of Technology & Business (PST&B) is a private higher education institution headquartered at 41 rue Chanzy in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, France, founded in 2022 and operating as a Société par actions simplifiée (SAS) with €1,000,000 share capital under SIREN 812 095 586. The school is a member of the Galileo Global Education France network, a larger SAS (€102,691,775 capital) that places 16,000 students in alternance annually and connects to 11,500+ employer companies and 30+ national and international partner institutions. PST&B positions itself as France's first integrated hybrid Tech & Business school, offering RNCP-recognized programs from Bac+2 (BTS SIO, 120 ECTS) through Bac+3 (Bachelor Tech for Business specializations in Web Development, Cybersecurity, Data/IA, No Code; Bachelor Business for Tech in Marketing Digital; UPEC-partnered Licence Pro programs) to Bac+5 (ten Mastère tracks, Tech MBA with ESG Executive, MBA AI for Business), plus a Bootcamp AI for Business launching May 2026 and international programs (BBA-EN, MSc Innovation & EdTech with Copernia).

The school's underlying technology stack combines a digital campus with e-learning components, approximately 30 hours of courses delivered in immersive Metaverse/VR environments, bootcamps, hackathons and FabLab workshops, alongside the Grimp.io-powered apprenticeship matching platform that anchors its 10-step alternance accompaniment program and monthly Coaching Premium Alternance (CPA) sessions. Annual Learning Expedition study trips rotate students through six international destinations including UCLA, CSU Northridge, Regent's University London, Technion Haifa, NABA Milan, Algebra Zagreb, Vietstar Hanoi and Azrieli Jerusalem. The teaching roster is augmented by national academic partners (UPEC, Sorbonne, EM Normandy, Excelia, 3IL, ESG Executive) and international partners (Griffith, Regent's, SDSU, Dublin Business School, SolBridge) for double-degree pathways, with technology tooling drawn from Microsoft, Adobe and AWS ecosystems.

PST&B's revenue model is dual-channel. In the formation initiale track, tuition is paid directly by students at annual rates published on the school's tarifs-financements page. From Bachelor Year 3 onward, the Mastère, MBA and certain Licence Pro programs are offered in alternance (contrat d'apprentissage or contrat de professionnalisation), under which the employing enterprise fully funds tuition while the student earns a monthly salary (27% to 100% of SMIC depending on age and experience) — effectively shifting the revenue collection point from the student to the corporate employer via the Galileo GGE network. A third revenue stream covers CPF-financed bootcamps and executive continuing-education programs. In 2024-25 the school supported 217 alternance students, expanding to 338 places for 2025-26, with reported outcomes including 95% student satisfaction, 0% apprenticeship interruption in 2023-24, and a 56% certification success rate for its inaugural 2025 BTS SIO cohort. The school recruited for rentrée 2026 across BTS, Bachelor, Licence Pro, Mastère and MBA tracks.

Revenue model

1. Tuition and Registration Fees (Formation Initiale): Full tuition fees are charged to students enrolled in initial training (non-alternance) programs. The school publishes pricing tiers on its tarifs-financements page.
2. Employer-Funded Apprenticeship Contracts (Alternance): In the alternance/apprenticeship model (available from year 3 of Bachelor onward, and throughout Mastère and MBA programs), tuition fees are fully covered by the employing enterprise, and students receive a monthly salary. This shifts revenue collection from students to corporate employers.
3. CPF and Continuing Education Financing: Bootcamp and certain executive programs may be financed through the FrenchCPF (Compte Personnel de Formation) system and other public continuing education mechanisms.
