IESEG has confirmed once again its position as one of the best business schools in France. In the Figaro newspaper issued in 19th November 2008, it is ranked as one of the top “post-Bac” schools.

The size of IESEG is increasing rapidly and is the number 1“Post-Bac” (Post ‘A’level) business school where having enrolled on a “Pre-Business school programme is not necessary. Its clear strategy, healthy budget and stability on the Board of Directors has enabled the school to become successful and confirm its “winning streak”.

“This location will only reinforce the international dimension of our school and the links with the corporate world whom will be our neighbours”, says Jean-Philippe AMMEUX the school director.
“However Lille will remain the main campus, my office is based in Lille” he adds in order to show his deep attachment to the North of France.
