In a crowded landscape of educational offerings (bachelor’s, master’s programs, and even MBAs), selecting an institution that combines academic excellence, pedagogical innovation, positive societal impact, and strong job placement can be challenging. Ranked among the top business schools in both national and international rankings, IÉSEG guarantees access to a recognized degree as well as to a diverse international and engaged community.

IÉSEG’s globally recognized programs

Whether for its Master in Finance, Master in Management, or customized Executive programs, IÉSEG is recognized in major international rankings, notably in the Financial Times rankings. Each year, this renowned publication places the Master in Management among the top 25 worldwide (23rd in 2024), praised for its unique international experience and high-level faculty (100% of permanent professors hold a PhD). The Master in Finance entered the Top 30 in its inaugural year (26th), offering one of the best returns on investment. Additionally, IÉSEG ranked 43rd in the “Executive Custom Education” category, thanks to strong corporate partnerships.

In France, the Grande École Program and Bachelor in International Business stand out

IÉSEG was the first School to offer a Grande École program over 5 years, and the first to teach all Grande Ecole courses in English, but also the first post-baccalaureate school to hold the Triple Crown (Equis, AACSB, AMBA) for the maximum duration, thus making it a leader in France. It consistently tops national rankings for five-year Grande École programs. This year, Le Figaro, Le Parisien, Challenges, and L’Étudiant all recognized IÉSEG for its teaching quality and student learning experience.

The Bachelor in International Business ranks as the 2nd best three-year Bachelor in France, praised for its accreditations, pedagogical innovations, and successful graduate career placements. Building on this success, IÉSEG launched the Bachelor in Management & Tech Design in partnership with Rubika in September 2024, another program enriched with diversity—its first cohort of 11 students representing 6 nationalities from 3 continents.

IÉSEG, committed to the future

“To empower changemakers for a better society”: this commitment has been central to IÉSEG’s Vision since 2015, developed collaboratively with its staff, students, alumni, and corporate partners. Early adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) differentiated the School, integrating sustainability into its strategic plan across all activities (teaching, research, campus life, and student experience).

IÉSEG has been consistently recognized for its pioneering approach, ranking among the top 15 schools with the lowest carbon footprint (Financial Times’ Best Masters in Management 2025). In 2024, the Financial Times awarded IÉSEG the “Best Business School demonstrating systematically integrated responsible principles in teaching, research, operations, and student outcomes” and recognized its “Responsible Pedagogical Resources: innovative material focusing on financial sustainability” initiative. This year, IÉSEG won the Student Award at the 2025 Responsible Business Education Awards, thanks to Ophélie VANBREMEERSCH, founder of Lunettes de ZAC and an IÉSEG graduate.

In France, IÉSEG consistently ranks among the top schools in the ChangeNow – Les Échos ranking (3rd in 2023), honored for its impact strategy and engaged alumni network. Additionally, L’Étudiant awarded IÉSEG the highest score for research impact in its annual ranking.

Success through an engaging student learning experience

As the first pillar to its strategic plan “Inspire – Connect – Transform”, IÉSEG is committed to offering students a unique and engaging learning experience. Its fully renovated and modernized campuses have earned IÉSEG the 2nd position for student experience since 2023 according to Speak & Act. QS ranks the School in the Top 5 globally for diversity, reflecting its inclusive and fulfilling environment.

Regularly updating its programs to meet student and industry expectations, IÉSEG is also often rewarded for entrepreneurship, professionalization, graduate employment, and quality of the alumni network in Le Parisien‘s annual ranking.
