Graduation ceremony 2026: EM Normandie celebrates the 2025 graduates of the 2025 cohort

School's life

On 21 March 2026 in Le Havre, EM Normandie celebrated the 2025 graduates of the 2025 cohort with emotion and pride at its traditional Graduation Ceremony. With a spectacular 360° stage, as last year, and a ceremony hosted by Anne Boétie, this event will be remembered as a powerful moment for the graduates, their families and the entire EM Normandie community, reflecting such a symbolic achievement.

A new chapter, a new future

Graduation is much more than the end of a programme. It is the acknowledgement of years of learning, effort, commitment and achievement. For 2025 graduates, this ceremony represents both the culmination of an essential chapter in their lives and the starting point for a new personal and professional adventure.

Throughout their time at EM Normandie, they learnt to question, to experiment, to collaborate, but also to get out of their comfort zone, to push back their limits and to open up to the world. They have faced up to the unknown, developed their ability to adapt and built solid skills to move forward in a constantly changing environment.

They have also developed valuable relationships, established lasting friendships and found a genuine second family at EM Normandie. That's what the EM Normandie experience is all about: a strong human adventure that lasts beyond the years of study.

So much more than a diploma

At EM Normandie, we're not simply training students. We support their careers, reveal their potential and prepare each of them to become a key player for change.

What our graduates leave with today goes far beyond a degree. They leave with skills, of course, but also with a posture, an ability to act, to adapt, to cooperate and to make a commitment in a constantly changing world.

Their future is now in their hands. And we can't wait to see what they can achieve. The world is changing: it's up to them to help transform it.

A ceremony set to the rhythm of testimonies and music

In Le Havre, the ceremony was festive, formal and deeply emotional. Throughout the event, testimonials from students, lecturers, staff and Director Anne-Sophie Courtier punctuated the celebrations, giving the graduation ceremony a particularly sincere and embodied dimension.

The speeches emphasised the richness of the students' backgrounds, the strength of the links built up within the school and the collective commitment that supports each student's success.

The ceremony was also punctuated by several musical performances, which contributed to making this moment a lively and memorable experience. Among them, the participation of Marc Gravé, a student at EM Normandie and musician, brought a very special resonance to this celebration.

A memorable day in Le Havre

Choosing Le Havre as the venue for the ceremony once again gave it a special resonance. With its 360° stage, the graduation ceremony allowed everyone to enjoy the event up close, in an immersive and unifying setting, enhanced by Anne Boétie's animation.

Graduates, families, friends, staff and members of the EM Normandie community shared an unforgettable moment of celebration, reflecting the achievements of the 2025 cohort.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this ceremony a success

Special thanks go to the organising teams who helped make this graduation ceremony such an exceptional occasion: Clarisse Frochtmann, Marine Avenel, Sasha Nabet, Julie Bunel and Aurélie Mauviet, as well as to all those who, every day, contribute to the collective success of our students and the quality of the EM Normandie experience.
