In the new Financial Times executive education ranking published today, ESSEC is among the world’s top 15 institutions, rising by 4 places. As the 14th best in the world and 3rd in France, ESSEC strengthens its position as an academic institution of excellence.

This result is the combination of two rankings: customised programs and open-enrollment programs.

ESSEC ranked 12th for customised programs

This year ESSEC rises by 5 places and reaches the 7th position in Europe, 12th in the world. The ranking draws attention to the quality of our interactions with our corporate clients and especially, the extent to which our clients’ feedback and ideas were integrated into our programs and our ability to integrate the best of research.

ESSEC's innovative pedagogical approach is highlighted in the "new skills & learning" category and the international reach of our programs is also highly acclaimed.
