FT Ranking: the IAE Aix is the only French university ranked
The Financial Times (FT) confirmed the leading position of the IAE Aix Graduate School of Management, Université Paul Cézanne, in its ranking of the best European business schools. As the only representative of French universities, it ranks among the 15 best management institutions in France, and 61st in Europe. Based on over fifteen criteria, including the rate and level of employability, international mobility, or even more the academic excellence of faculty, the FT ranking demonstrates the level of education provided at the IAE Aix.
“We are very pleased with this international recognition. This ranking reflects the spirit of initiative, the permanent striving toward excellence and innovation that characterize the institute and the high value that the French university system places on the field of management. Already in 1999, the IAE Aix was the first university system in France to obtain EQUIS accreditation,” said Patrick Rousseau, director of the IAE Aix.
The IAE Aix provides a range of innovative and international training, including, the establishment of an MSc in Management since September 2011. With a customized, professionalizing and international curriculum, the MSc in Management provides true visibility on the international market. It was also recognized by the Financial Times in September 2011 in the ranking of best management training. The IAE Aix has an employability rate of over 90% in the six months following the training, of which 20% is abroad. Its research laboratory, the CERGAM has also been classified as A-level by the AERES in 2011.
