EPAS

Since February 2011, two of the school’s programmes have been recognised by the EPAS:

Bachelor in International Business and Masters (ESC) programmes.

No more than two programmes can be accredited in each round of evaluations, so this is a very encouraging double success for the school, which can now offer these students a programme that is balanced, coherent, international and compliant with demanding specifications. The objective of the EPAS is to evaluate and accredit (for a maximum duration of five years) the best business and management programmes on offer (Bachelor and undergraduate degrees, Masters or Doctorates), compare them against international standards and ultimately work towards their improvement.
