EM Normandie keeps its third place in Le Parisien Etudiant's ranking of post-baccalaureate business schools

Thanks to its five-year Master in Management, EM Normandie Business School has consolidated its position among the top three post-baccalaureate business schools awarding Master's degrees.

On 21 May 2025, Le Parisien Etudiant published its annual business school rankings. Confirmed in the top three best five-year post-baccalaureate schools, EM Normandie keeps growing under the leadership of Anne-Sophie Courtier, who's been running the school since last March. ‘Her arrival is a sign of change in leadership, which is finally becoming more female-led,’ says the editorial team at Le Parisien.

Rankings by number of countries offered

In addition to the overall rankings, the editorial team at Le Parisien Etudiant provides further insight into various aspects of the programmes. Top 5 rankings have been compiled for areas that are important to schools: EM Normandie stands out in the top 5 for the number of countries offered for study abroad programmes, providing its students with a wide range of international opportunities.

Dynamism: Dubai, still on top

In an article dedicated to Africa's rise among business school projects, Anne-Sophie Courtier, Managing Director of EM Normandie, explains that establishing a campus in Dubai is an ‘incredible gateway to these young people’ from Africa and Asia. Beyond its status as a business and tourist centre, Dubai has transformed itself into a ‘hub for higher education’. Emma Orlandini, a student at EM Normandie, also notes that "Dubai is in transition. Beyond the students, you can sense that the emirate is seeking to become more familiar.‘ Living abroad on the school campus allows her to discover the city from a different perspective: ’It's great to be able to better understand the city and the culture because, despite appearances, we're not in Europe."

Methodology

This ranking is based on 15 criteria: labels, power, development, social openness, attractiveness, infrastructure, research, faculty, teaching, international outlook, professionalisation, integration, entrepreneurship, digital strategy and educational innovation.
