EUROPEAN BUSINESS SCHOOL BOLDLY RENEWS THE EFMD ACCREDITATION FOR ITS GRANDE ÉCOLE PROGRAM
European Business School (EBS Paris) boldly renews the EFMD accreditation for its Grande École Program
European Business School (EBS Paris) has just obtained a three-year renewal of the EFMD Accredited Master label for its Grande École Program.
This distinction, awarded by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) — one of the world’s most prestigious organizations for academic quality and educational impact — recognizes the school’s rigor, relevance, and innovation in education. It also highlights EBS Paris’s ability to train responsible and visionary leaders, ready to take on the economic, technological, and human challenges of tomorrow.
An international recognition of the Grande École Program’s excellence
EFMD auditors praised the growing attractiveness of the Grande École Program, the outstanding quality of the student experience — whether academic, professional, or international — as well as the personalized support provided to each student.
EBS Paris distinguishes itself through the close relationships within its educational community and its constant attention to the well-being and success of its students.
Innovation at the heart of pedagogy: the Audace 6.0 dynamic
This renewed accreditation also highlights the pedagogical innovation driven by the AUDACE 6.0 strategy, led by the GA Education Group.
This approach is based on the hybridization of expertise across the group’s three schools:
- European Business School, specializing in Business Development
- Ferrières, focusing on Hospitality & Luxury Management and Human Excellence
- École 89, dedicated to DeepTech
The EFMD report emphasizes this hybridization as a bold and distinctive positioning, placing EBS Paris among the most innovative business schools in the higher education landscape.
Audace 6.0: preparing for the professions of tomorrow
Launched in 2024, Audace 6.0 redefines the standards of higher education around four key pillars:
- Merging the physical, digital, and biological worlds
Integrating AI, data, and ecosystem thinking to anticipate economic and societal transformations.
- 100% Enterprise (learning by doing)
Anchoring education in real-world situations through immersive “work & study” formats designed with, by, and for companies.
- The Fusion Trail: hybridization of Tech × Business × Human
An inter-school pathway that breaks down silos, combines expertise, and develops the transversal skills required for tomorrow’s professions.
- A family-owned governance model with a long-term vision
Supported by the Accelis Group (70 companies, 3,000 employees), this sustainable model places business at the heart of education.
“We cannot train for the jobs of tomorrow with the educational model of today — or worse, of yesterday,” emphasizes Khalil Khater, Founder of GA Education Group.
A collective dynamic oriented toward the future
According to Sébastien Chantelot, General Director of European Business School:
“The EFMD renewal recognizes the collective effort of our community. It strengthens the Audace 6.0 dynamic to train and inspire creators and business developers capable of combining business, technology, and humanity — with rigor, long-term vision, and impact.”
With this EFMD renewal, European Business School reaffirms its position among Europe’s leading management schools, recognized for their international outlook, pedagogical agility, and commitment to innovation.
EBS Paris continues to pursue an ambitious and bold path, shaping a new generation of talents capable of thinking and acting differently, at the crossroads of business, technology, and humanity.
Lead with heart 💙
