EM Normandie keeps its 3rd place among the best post-baccalaureate business schools in the "Le Parisien Étudiant" rankings

Of the 15 post-baccalaureate business schools offering Master’s degrees, EM Normandie’s Master in Management (PGE) ranks among the top three.

Published on 20 May 2026, Le Parisien Etudiant’s business school rankings are based on the analysis of 15 criteria, such as reputation, teaching quality, international focus and career training.

Ranking by number of countries listed

In addition to the overall rankings, Le Parisien Etudiant offers readers further tools to help them narrow down their choice of courses: six top-five lists have been compiled based on key criteria for the schools (work-study programmes, entrepreneurship, etc.): EM Normandie features in the top five for the number of countries available for study abroad, thus offering its students a wide range of international opportunities.

Careers: it all comes down to what you learn at school

Entry into the job market is the ultimate aim of business school training programmes, and this process begins as early on as the first year of study. In this article, Margot BRIET, a 2025 graduate of EM Normandie’s Grande Ecole Programme, explains how she worked on her employability and the importance of building her network: “I treated my LinkedIn profile like a brand”, “I identified professionals’ profiles and created a short file on each one: who they were, what they liked, etc.”

The challenges facing business schools

In an interview with Anne-Sophie COURTIER, Director General of EM Normandie, the editorial team at Le Parisien Etudiant highlights the school’s innovations and strengths designed to attract new students. The expansion of the campuses internationally, the redesign of programmes and work-study schemes all offer opportunities for students. The article also highlights EM Normandie’s new ‘Signature Pathway’: ‘This time, we have designed a “three plus two” programme, with the third year intended as a breather, a time during which students can properly reflect on their Master’s programme’.
