Eucléa Business School

What Eucléa Business School does

Eucléa Business School, operating under the trade name Ascencia Business School, is a private higher education institution founded in 2005 and headquartered in Schiltigheim, Grand Est, France, though its operational campuses are concentrated in the Île-de-France region. The school delivers Bachelor (Bac+3) and Mastère (Bac+5) programs in business and management domains including Human Resources, Business Strategy, Marketing and Communication, Commerce and Sales, Management Administration, and Purchasing, Logistics, Transport and Customs. All titles are certified by the French State through RNCP at Levels 5, 6, and 7, and the institution holds accreditations from EFMD, AACSB, and AMBA BGA.

The school's core technology comprises a learning management system supporting digital student engagement, an online application platform integrated with the French government France VAE system for prior learning validation, and virtual consultation services for student psychological support delivered through the Apsytude partnership. Pedagogical differentiation rests on a 'Learning by Doing' methodology combining face-to-face instruction, small class sizes, Business Games, and Serious Games, alongside a 'Learn to Learn' approach. Programs are offered in both initial training and alternance (apprenticeship) formats, with international mobility enabled through Erasmus+ and university partnerships.

Eucléa generates revenue through three primary streams: per-student tuition (€7,450 per year for Mastère initial training), OPCO (Opérateur de Compétences)-funded tuition for apprenticeship and professionalization contracts, and one-time VAE jury fees of €850 per candidate. The institution operates a multi-channel GTM combining campus-based enrollment, open days, a website portal, an enterprise partnership network for apprenticeship placements, and active social media plus a podcast series. The school is a member of Collège de Paris and integrated in June 2026 into Ed'Learn, the training division of UNIFY GROUP.
