Excelia Business School makes its first appearance in the QS International Trade Rankings being placed 20th worldwide in the 2024 edition
Ranked 20th in the world and 1st among French programmes for its first-time entry
For its first entry in the QS International Trade Rankings, Excelia Business School achieved 20th place worldwide in the 2024 edition for its MSc in International Business Management and 1st place among French programmes.
Excelia Business School performed particularly well on three of the criteria used to assess the QS International Trade Rankings:
- 1st in the world for ‘Graduate Outcome’, which recognises the career development of graduates and the support provided by the school to help them secure employment.
- 3rd in the world for ‘Trade Programme Content’, which looks at the international dimension, teaching methods, and content of the programme across all aspects of international business, from the employer viewpoint of skills required. This criterion therefore highlights the perfect correlation between Excelia Business School’s MSc in International Business Management and the needs of the market.
- 9th in the world for ‘Innovative Teaching’, which recognises creativity in terms of pedagogical innovation. Excelia Business School once again excelled in this particular criterion, which highlights new pedagogical approaches that are increasingly student-centred and that encourage learning through doing as well as hands-on experience. The school placed emphasis on its Ludo-pedagogy and immersive virtual learning methods, in addition to the international internships undertaken as part of the MSc in International Business Management.
