09/01/2024
In the Challenges rankings published on 13 December 2023, KEDGE Business School confirmed its position as one of the top French business schools. It ranked the EBP International 2nd best 5-year post-bac programme (up 3 places) and IBBA 5th best 4-year post-bac programme. The programme Grande Ecole has consolidated its place in the TOP 10.

Up 2 places for the EBP International 

EBP International is a 5-year post-baccalaureate double-degree programme offering up to three years of international study, mastery of three languages and three diplomas: an International Bachelor's degree, an International Master's degree from a partner university and the EBP International Master's degree.

The ranking of the 5-year post-baccalaureate schools was based on seven different criteria: the length of the degree, accreditations, the attractiveness of the programme, the proportion of students who receive a good or a very good on the grading scale, student recruitment, starting salaries and the annual budget.

The rankings took into account the programme's broad international outreach and the high level of international employability it offers.

The International BBA maintains its place in the TOP 5

The IBBA, a 4-year international Bachelor's degree, consists of an initial period in France during which students discover the fundamentals of management, followed by a 6-month internship (in France or abroad) followed by an international component during which students can study with one or two of KEDGE's academic partners.

The ranking of the 4-year post-baccalaureate schools has been established according to six criteria: accreditations, attractiveness of the programme, the number of students awarded good or very good on the grading scale, student supervision, recruitment salaries and annual budget.

The ranking recognises the international qualities of the programme and its curriculum, which can be taught entirely in English. Its strong links with the professional world were also highlighted.

The programme Grande Ecole consolidates its place in the TOP 10

Challenges based its overall ranking on 3 sub-rankings: the power of the schools, internationalism and CSR.

The strengths of the Programme Grande Ecole such as the numerous opportunities for students to go abroad, the possibility of double degrees and a vast network of alumni to rely on, were particularly highlighted.

International openness is one of the aspects that has been carefully worked into the pedagogical signature of the Programme Grande Ecole, Grow by doing®, built around a logic of learning by doing. Students play an active role in their training and their careers in an international context.

"This excellent result illustrates the dynamic we are in, driven by programmes with a strong international focus that guarantee our graduates a high level of employability", says Alexandre de Navailles, Managing Director of KEDGE Business School.
