An educational model focused on technological change
EMLV’s Master in Management – Grande École Programme is part of an academic approach built around contemporary transformations in management: the digitalisation of organisations, the rise of artificial intelligence, and new challenges in governance and innovation.
The curriculum combines:
- general management training aligned with the international standards of accredited business schools,
- strong integration of technological issues (data, AI, innovation, business transformation),
- project-based teaching in collaboration with partner companies,
- a multidisciplinary environment made possible by the Léonard de Vinci Centre, combining management, engineering and digital creation.
This model promotes the gradual development of skills from the start of post-baccalaureate studies, in a cross-disciplinary academic setting.
Le Point’s ranking of management schools
For its 24th edition, Le Point has published its ranking of management schools. The ranking distinguishes between Grande École programmes leading to a master’s degree.
The schools are evaluated according to six criteria: teaching, professionalisation, selectivity, international outlook, research and academic recognition. The indicators are weighted to establish an overall score out of 100.
The ranking also includes an indicator of median gross salary excluding bonuses in France, based on the WTW remuneration study, divided into four levels.
Le Point’s 2026 Methodology
Pedagogy takes into account the structure of the programme, academic supervision, the availability of dual degrees and the quality of the teaching staff.
Professionalisation assesses, in particular, graduate employment rates, work-study programmes, the length of internships and the dynamics of the alumni network. Selectivity includes admission procedures and the academic profile of recruited students.
Internationalisation measures outgoing mobility, diversity of nationalities, and academic partnerships. Research is based on scientific output published in referenced academic journals. Academic recognition takes into account international accreditations and presence in leading academic rankings. Two additional rankings focus on social diversity and environmental commitment.
