ESSCA ranks 2nd for its Grande Ecole programme and also confirms its position among the top 3 programmes for its Bachelor.
Each year, the French magazine “Challenges” publishes a ranking of the top French business schools.
The institutions have been split in post-baccalaureate or post-preparatory class categories, according to their main level of student recruitment, leading to two specific rankings. Post-baccalaureate business schools are not included in thematic rankings such as International or CSR.
- Among the 16 post-baccalaureate schools awarding a master’s degree, ESSCA is one of the two schools with the top salaries upon graduation.
- The Bachelor in International Management is ranked 3rd out of 14 three-year programmes awarding a bachelor’s degree and stands out for its attractiveness with over 4,000 applicants in 2024.
Based on a questionnaire sent to the schools and data from open sources, the ranking used 9 groups to rank post-baccalaureate business schools.
