The QS International Trade Rankings 2026, published on 22 October 2025 in partnership with the Hinrich Foundation, places SKEMA Business School 10th worldwide and 2nd in France for its Global Executive MBA programme. The school climbed four places from last year, affirming the international recognition of its pedagogical approach focused on global and sustainable business.
Launched in 2022, this ranking assesses Executive MBA programmes that have a significant impact on international trade, based on public data and reputation surveys conducted among employers and academics. Among the 30 global institutions evaluated, including four French business schools, SKEMA stood out for the trade content of its programme, ranking 1st globally with an exceptional score of 99.4/100.
“Our ambition is to train leaders who can operate in a globalised, complex, and interconnected world. This result demonstrates the relevance of our approach,” said Alice Guilhon, Dean and Executive President of SKEMA Business School.
The QS International Trade Rankings are based on six criteria: academic content in international trade, academic and employer reputation, research, employment rate and professional relevance, graduate skills, and teaching methods.
