EMLV consolidates its position among the top three post-baccalaureate schools in L’Etudiant Ranking with its Master in Management, Grande Ecole programme. The school ranks 14th in France among the best business programs in 2023.
Each year, French press website L’Etudiant releases a ranking of business schools in France, which includes post-high school and post-prep business degrees.
Third best business school among 5-year post-high school programs, EMLV scores particularly well on international outlook, corporate relations and graduate satisfaction.
The graduate satisfaction criterion takes into account several considerations, such as feedback from alumni on the quality of the business school curriculum and its teaching staff, campus life, international exposure, corporate partnerships, career development, peer student relations, quality of student services, support on personal projects and so on.
As the leading school in the SESAME competition, EMLV is in 3rd place in the post-bac ranking and is still at the top of the 2023 ranking of the primary business schools on several criteria:
- 1st school for its proximity to companies
- 2nd school in terms of graduate satisfaction (tied)
- 2nd school in terms of social inclusion (tied): 4 points out of 5
To rank the business schools preferred by students, L’Étudiant’s journalists asked graduates who left the school in 2018 and 2021: “What do they think of their former school?”.
This criterion takes into account numerous elements, in particular feedback from alumni concerning the quality of the business school curriculum and teaching staff, community life, international openness, relations with companies, preparation for professional life, relations between students, the quality of student services, support for personal projects, etc.
