With the renewal of its EQUIS accreditation (European Quality Improvement System) for 5 years, the maximum duration, IÉSEG reaffirms its place in the prestigious circle of Grandes Écoles holding the “Triple Crown” (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA). This reaccreditation validates the relevance of the School’s strategic choices and acknowledges the academic quality of the School at the level of the highest international academic standards.

The renewal of the EQUIS accreditation comes in the wake of the renewal of its AACSB accreditation, obtained earlier this year, also for the duration of 5 years.

This internationally recognized label, awarded by the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), distinguishes top management schools for the coherence of their strategy, the quality of their teaching and pedagogy, their relationships with the business world, the excellence of their research, their commitment to sustainability and a high level of internationalization. The EQUIS accreditation perimeter applies to the entire School, guaranteeing that all its programs meet the demanding academic standards of the EFMD.

EQUIS auditors particularly appreciated the highly international dimension of the School, encompassing students, administrative teams, faculty, and its network of academic partners worldwide, emphasizing that internationalization at IÉSEG is an area of excellence. They also praised the quality and complementarity of its programs portfolio, especially in terms of developing managerial skills, the emphasis on students’ personal and professional development, and the excellence of faculty recruitment, integration and daily involvement at IÉSEG.

The 5-year renewal of the EQUIS accreditation provides a solid foundation for continuing the implementation of the School’s Strategic Plan, “Inspire – Connect – Transform”, and will enable IÉSEG to:
– Attract more French and international students who wish to pursue an excellent management education, regardless of the program (Grande École, Bachelors, Post-Graduate Programs, Executive Education).
– Strengthen the employability of its graduates in France and internationally, thanks to a recognized and attractive degree.
– Enhance its international reputation to establish new partnerships with companies, public institutions/NGOs, and prestigious universities worldwide.
