L’Étudiant has published its 2026 ranking of post-preparatory business schools. EM Strasbourg Business School is ranked joint 14th, confirming the positive momentum seen in recent national and international rankings.
An open model of excellence, true to its core value
EM Strasbourg's Grande École Program has evolved in recent years, notably by opening admissions to students entering after high school, while continuing to place students from two-year preparatory classes at the heart of each cohort. This complementarity of backgrounds is a real strength, creating a stimulating learning environment for the benefit of all students.
This 14th place validates that positioning and reflects high academic standards, a strong international outlook and solid career outcomes.
A more demanding methodology
For the 2026 edition, L’Étudiant thoroughly revised the way it evaluates schools. The data now also comes from verifiable public sources. Another notable change is that the assessment criteria have been broadened. In addition to the original indicators, they now include elements such as the quality of academic supervision and research performance.
This more refined ranking provides a better measure of what truly makes a school valuable. And in this more selective context, EM Strasbourg is consolidating its position.
The strength of a model
This ranking highlights the strength of a model built on balanced admissions and a wide diversity of backgrounds. It also confirms the School’s ability to support students and meet their expectations, whatever their academic path.
This result is the outcome of a collective effort. Thank you to all the teams and partners for their contribution to this positive momentum.
