International recognition for a high-impact programme

“This ranking rewards a programme of excellence at the heart of our global academic strategy. Being recognised as one of the world’s best, and particularly for the career progress of our graduates, reflects the tangible impact of our training and the outstanding faculty who lead the programme and closely support our students,” said Alice Guilhon, Dean and Executive President of SKEMA Business School.
