A Ranking Based on Academic Excellence, International Outlook and Employability

The Le Figaro Étudiant Bachelor’s ranking is based on a range of indicators drawn in particular from public data sources (CEFDG, Parcoursup, graduate employment statistics). It relies on three main pillars:

• Academic Excellence: quality of teaching, state recognition, accreditations and admissions selectivity

• International Exposure: academic mobility, international partnerships and the presence of international students

• Employability: graduate employment outcomes, employment rates and links with companies

Together, these criteria aim to assess the overall quality of programmes and their ability to prepare students effectively for the job market.

A Strong Performance in a Highly Competitive Ranking

The extremely close results between Top 10 schools highlight both the competitiveness of the MBS Bachelor’s programme and its overall academic quality. The School’s rise in the ranking demonstrates the strength of its educational model and its growing attractiveness among students.
