The ranking of colleges is a bit like the top 3 of world tennis: No. 1 (whether Federer in tennis or HEC in higher education) is rarely overthrown while the other two (Nadal and Djokovic or Essec and ESCP) shall be held in a handkerchief. The 2009 list of major business schools of Figaro (which this year 39 schools) did not mark a change from that of last year, the elite French business schools is its rank and maintains distance on its competitors . Things are moving instead in the top 8 because Euromed Management moved up one spot, placing themselves and now tied with Grenoble School of Management. It must be said that the school Marseille, which recently opened a campus in Marrakech, displays high ambition: to enter 2014 in the top 30 best business schools in Europe.The objectives of the school run by Bernard Belletante illustrate perfectly those of the schools' top of the basket ": international development. In this chapter, for the 2nd consecutive year, ESCP Europe, the five school campuses, is tied with ESSEC. Two points separate the total HEC.
Increase faculty
The prize for biggest jump back this year to the EM Strasbourg, winning seven seats and rose to 15th among major business schools, tied with ESCEM Tours-Poitiers. It is this leap particularly dramatic increase its faculty from 40 teacher-researchers in 2008 to 90 this year. Since the beginning, the Strasbourg institution also offers courses 100% bilingual English-French or Franco-German in the first year, reinforcing its image as an international school in the capital of Europe.Other progress to report, the Reims Management School, which accounts for three places better (9th).
New mastered
Conversely, some schools suffer declines in our ranking as the ESC Clermont, which gives 10 seats and settled into 29th position. It is true that many schools are entering this year and upset some hierarchies of mid-table. Include ISG Paris (39th), Advancia (31st), EDC Paris (36th) or CSEC (27th), who obtained the rank of master in 2009, awarded by the Helfer. The arrival of these two groups confirms the site – and merits – the model schools accessible after the tray. Number one in this category, IESEG consolidates its position in the top 20.The school, which won two seats, coming in 18th position, ahead of the ESC Lille, Rennes, or Dijon Troyes … Proof that schools in five years have earned their credentials.
Educational Initiatives
That leaves the ESC smaller in size, but regionally rooted, and that appeal to students seeking a coaching major and promotions reduced.Their educational initiatives are also assets, whether in the field of social responsibility and citizenship (humanitarian projects at ESC La Rochelle), disability (ESC Amiens) or Entrepreneurship (with Springboard Business at ESC Chambery). Whatever their size and position in the charts, however, these schools are judged by students and their parents on a single test in the coming months: their ability to integrate their promotions on a market l employment rather unfavorable for young graduates.
