The School supports each student in their professional and personal development through personal branding workshops, mock interviews with recruiters, and a Cap Career Office to help you land internships. The goal: to enter the workforce with confidence and a clear career plan.

Students come back transformed by these experiences. They talk about adapting to a different university system, friendships made with locals, and the confidence they gained by stepping out of their comfort zone and navigating life in a foreign country.

"In my first year, I had the opportunity to study abroad in the United States: in Boston, Miami, or New York. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to discover a whole new worldview and, above all, to get to know myself better."

Anisa, Bachelor of International Business

 

4. A globally recognized program

EM Strasbourg's Programme Grande École is ranked among the 50 best Masters in Management in the world according to the Financial Times 2025. This ranking reflects the daily commitment of our teams to training competent, open-minded, and responsible managers. Above all, it testifies to the success of our graduates: employment rates, starting salaries, and international careers are the criteria that earned us this position in the ranking.

The degrees awarded are recognized in France and internationally, with our bachelor's and master's degrees recognized by the French state, in partnership with the University of Strasbourg. A guarantee of excellence that opens doors all over the world.

 

5. Strasbourg, a student city on a human scale

Studying in Strasbourg means enjoying a city where everything is accessible by bike, where rent remains reasonable (€400-€600 for a studio apartment), and where 60,000 students breathe life into the city. As a European capital, the city is home to the European Parliament and international companies such as Puma, Arte, and Mars.

"Every experience I've had here has confirmed that coming to this European capital was one of the best choices I've made for my professional life. Its geographical location is a real asset: on the border with Germany and Switzerland, and close to Belgium and Luxembourg, it opens doors in many sectors."

Miguel Angel, Programme Grande École

It is also a great city to live in, where you can enjoy the Christmas market in December, walks along the Ill river, cinemas, theaters, the Opéra du Rhin, and student parties in the Krutenau district. And if you want a change of scenery, Germany is only 15 minutes away by tram.
