Dear alumni,

The results of SIGEM serve as a genuine benchmark for the market. Published last Friday, they ranked NEOMA Business School eighth of the French Grandes Ecoles chosen by students from preparatory classes. The School has moved up one place this year, a strong marker in this ranking, which is known for its stability (the TOP 10 had not changed for three years), and more widely in our increasingly competitive environment.

With 770 candidates joining the School (identical to 2017), the Master in Management Programme confirms its attractiveness, and NEOMA BS remains the School that recruits the largest number of preparatory class students. Our selectivity also remains strong, as the MiM has once more raised the overall mark required to gain admittance. Thus, it remains one of the nine Schools requiring a mark above 10/20. This figure needs to be combined with the reduction of the rank of the lowest-ranked applicant admitted.

It is important to complete this overview with admissions of university students. We have recruited 250 students from the Tremplin 1 exam, and 510 students from Tremplin 2. The number of candidates increased together with the selectivity of the written exam for both these admissions schemes.

By substantially improving our performance with regard to all criteria, NEOMA Business School confirms its attractiveness, and these very positive results show that the candidates support the reform of the Master in Management Programme initiated a few months ago. More broadly, this success is clearly part of the development phase the School is currently undergoing.

Best regards,

Delphine MANCEAU
