international recognition

Academic recognition

The Grande Ecole diploma of SKEMA’s founder schools (CERAM Business School and Groupe ESC Lille ) is recognised by the French State and endorsed as “Master”
The Conférence des Grandes Ecoles (CGE) is the accrediting body for SKEMA and the Mastères Spécialisés (MS) programmes as well as certain Masters of Science (MSc) 
Both SKEMA founder institutions are accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) and by EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development). These accreditations bear witness to the high quality of faculty and research at SKEMA as well as the school’s international dimension and relationship with the business community.

SKEMA is accredited by the Global Accreditation Center for Project Management of the Project Management Institute (PMI GAC PM - USA) and by the Association for Project Management (APM – UK). These accreditations have been awarded in recognition of the school’s track record in training for Project Management.  SKEMA is the first non-American Business School to have received international accreditation from the GAC PM in 2005, and it is the only Business School outside the US to be accredited by both the above institutions.

SKEMA is committed to certification processes which demand continuous improvement in management standards.
