SKEMA: International Recognition Reinforced in the Figaro Étudiant 2025 Rankings
For the fifth consecutive year, SKEMA Business School secures 6th place in the prestigious Figaro Étudiant ranking of post-preparatory business schools. The 2025 edition highlights the excellence of SKEMA’s Master in Management (PGE) as a benchmark academic and international programme.
Unmatched International Excellence
SKEMA achieved an impressive score of 18.2 out of 20 for academic excellence and international outreach. The school particularly excels in the international category, ranking 1st among the 24 post-preparatory management schools evaluated. This achievement underscores the strength of its unique model, built on a global network of 9 campuses across 4 continents and 195 partner universities worldwide.
SKEMA offers its students a truly global experience, blending cultural immersion with outstanding international academic opportunities. This model lies at the heart of the school's success.
With a global alumni network of 60,000 graduates across 145 countries, SKEMA's international impact continues to grow. Its prestigious academic partnerships, combined with cutting-edge research and a world-class faculty, solidify its role as a key player on the global stage.
An Innovative Selection Process
The Figaro Étudiant also praises the originality of SKEMA’s oral admissions process, which requires candidates to present a "projective CV," an exercise where they envision their professional future 10 years ahead. "This exercise helps us better understand candidates’ ambitions and how they align with SKEMA’s values," explains Nathalie Hector, Director of Innovation and Learner Experience.
Student ambassadors, such as Divine and Mehdi, play a pivotal role in welcoming prospective students. "We are here to help them succeed in their exams, introduce them to the school and its numerous student associations, and guide them in preparing their projective CVs," they told Le Figaro during a feature on SKEMA’s Grand Paris campus this summer, at the height of the oral exam season.
A Forward-Thinking Institution
With this ranking, SKEMA reaffirms its position among France’s top business schools and its standing as a global leader in international education. This success reflects the strength of its pedagogical model, designed to equip students with the skills to become leaders in an increasingly interconnected world.
