EM Strasbourg Business School

What EM Strasbourg Business School does

EM Strasbourg Business School (legal name: Ecole de Management Strasbourg Business School) is the business school of the Université de Strasbourg, a French public research university. Founded within the Strasbourg academic ecosystem, the school delivers higher-education programs in management at the Bac+3, Bac+5, and Bac+8 levels, including a Bachelor in International Business, the flagship Programme Grande École, a portfolio of specialized Master's degrees (Digital Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, HR, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, General Management, Wine & Tourism), and Doctoral programs. It also offers shorter-format Summer Schools for international students. The institution is differentiated by holding the triple crown of accreditations (EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB) — the first French university business school to do so — and by its geographic position at the France–Germany–Switzerland border, which underpins a 200+ international university exchange network and a multilingual (French, English, German) delivery model.

The business model combines public state funding as a constituent school of a French state university, tuition from degree-seeking and apprenticeship-track students, and corporate engagement revenue. On the corporate side, the school operates EM Strasbourg Partenaires, a business club with 230+ member companies paying a disclosed €2,000 annual membership fee in exchange for access to recruitment events, a CV database, and employer branding. Post-graduation, the EM Strasbourg Alumni platform provides networking, mentoring, and job-board services to graduates worldwide. The Centre Entrepreneurial et Leadership (La Ruche) supports student startups and reflects the EMpowerment pedagogical philosophy. Outcomes include a disclosed 98% graduate employment rate within six months of graduation.

The school distributes programs through national competitive entrance exams (ECRICOME, SESAME, Unistrapass), Campus France for international students, and a 200+ partner university exchange network, with go-to-market primarily via its institutional website, social channels, alumni communications, and education fairs. Geographically, EM Strasbourg is anchored in Strasbourg, France, and its operating footprint reaches students and partners in France, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Morocco, and Canada. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
