Le Point magazine published its 2025 ranking of French management schools which recruit undergraduate and postgraduate students, awarding a master's degree.
ESSCA Confirms Its Leadership Among Post-Baccalaureate Business Schools in 5 Years
It maintains its 2nd place for its Grande Ecole programme awarding the master’s degree.
The ranking methodology is based upon six main criteria: teaching approach, international dimension, professionalisation, selectivity, research, and academic recognition.
This year, ESSCA’s major progress on both the international and professionalisation criteria should be underlined, all management schools together.
Top 9 for International
ESSCA thus positions itself among the best institutions, ranking 9th for international, highlighting the school’s constant progress over the past few years.
Over the past three years, three campuses with a strong European identity have been set up (including two in European capitals, Luxembourg and Strasbourg), offering students greater exposure to international business contexts.
Top 13 for Professionalisation
Regarding the professionalisation criterion, ESSCA also gains 3 places in the overall ranking for the employment rate of its graduates and the average gross salary over the past three years.
This criterion also takes into account the minimum mandatory internship duration, the rate of students in work-study programmes among graduates, the percentage of alumni who took a gap year, and the total number of graduates.
