The Le Figaro ranking of business schools is a benchmark ranking of French business schools. To compile this ranking, Le Figaro surveyed the 38 French business schools authorized to award the Master's degree for their Grande Ecole program. They were then ranked according to three main categories:academic excellence, international influence and corporate relations.

These criteria are among the aspects that have been carefully worked out as part of the new pedagogical posture of the Grande Ecole Program, Grow by doing®, built around a logic of learning by doing, where the student is a player in his or her training and career in an international context.

The Figaro Étudiant editorial team rated the school 's research and graduate salaries particularly highly.

The publications of its teaching and research staff, as well as its performance in the Shanghai rankings, contribute significantly to KEDGE's rise in the rankings.

KEDGE's high-calibre teaching staff, all graduates of excellent universities, are actively engaged in research, with an ever-increasing number of publications. The work of KEDGE professors is a cornerstone of the school's academic excellence.

The rising salaries of alumni, both on graduation and 3 years after graduation, and the reputation of the companies that recruit them, among the most attractive in France, are also some of the school's strong points recognized by Le Figaro.

" I'm proud of KEDGE's position in benchmark rankings such as Le Figaro today. Our rise by one place in the Figaro rankings is the fruit of hard work and daily commitment on the part of all our teams. Our position is a good illustration of KEDGE's trajectory, driven by a top-quality Grande Ecole program that provides students with excellent teaching and high employability ", says Alexandre de Navailles, KEDGE's Managing Director.
