Le Point management schools ranking: SKEMA enters Top 5

​Number one for academic recognition

The duration of the official recognition of the French Ministry of Higher Education, the master's degree, and the bachelor's degree, as well as school's international accreditations and its presence in international rankings have contributed to SKEMA being placed first in the criterion of academic recognition for the PGE and third for the Global BBA.

The school's performance in criteria related to graduate salaries (second place), international activities and research (third place) were also recognised by Le Point.

International and campus life, hallmarks of student experience

With campuses on five continents and agreements with leading academic institutions, SKEMA has made the international exposure of its students a key feature of the student experience since its creation.

Another strength of SKEMA, as noted in the Le Point ranking, is the strong "hybridisation" of its courses to develop a large number of complementary skills, particularly through double and triple degrees. For example, the management and business law course and the three engineering-management degrees, including ITEEM - a course developed with Centrale Lille. Other types of cooperation include the agreement concluded with New York University as part of the MSc Global Luxury and Management, the , and the "entrepreneurship and innovation" course with UC Berkeley.

SKEMA has also opened several internal schools – AI School for Business (dedicated to artificial intelligence), the Law School for Business (law school), and a geopolitics school. Their work feeds into the PGE programme's teaching and supports the specialisation courses.

Another aspect highlighted in Le Point is the importance of campuses, which are becoming places where teaching and campus life are one and the same, as at SKEMA. "Young people want to form a community in a co-living space. We need to put spaces for sharing at the centre of the system," explains Alice Guilhon, SKEMA's dean and executive president.

"SKEMA's new Grand Paris campus in Suresnes is a proof of this. The 30,000 m2 space of the establishment is crowned by a large roof terrace with a collaborative vegetable garden and relaxation areas that enable students to enjoy a panoramic view of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Inside, the business school looks like a start-up. Between the discreet classrooms are large co-working spaces, kitchens, and rest and entertainment areas that are accessible to students until 10pm," mentions Le Point. These spaces are "designed as an extension of their homes," concludes Alice Guilhon.
