EUROPEAN BUSINESS SCHOOL STRENGTHENS ITS ACADEMIC RECOGNITION
European Business School has received a favorable opinion from the Commission d’Évaluation des Formations et des Diplômes de Gestion (CEFDG) for the three-year renewal of the Master’s Degree (Grade de Master) for its Grande École Program, as well as the first-time award of the French State Visa for a three-year period for its Bachelor in Business Development program.
European Business School, a member of the GA Education group, has thus obtained official recognition from the CEFDG for the renewal of the Master’s Degree accreditation for its Grande École Program for three years, and for the first time, the award of the French State Visa for three years for its Bachelor in Business Development.
These distinctions, granted for a period of three years starting on September 1, 2026, confirm the school’s academic quality, professional relevance, and strategic transformation, undertaken since its integration into the GA Education group.
The CEFDG highlighted:
- The school’s clear identity within a stabilized environment
- The ambitious and unifying transformation project, AUDACE 6.0, within a human-sized school embedded in an entrepreneurial ecosystem
- The rebound strategy illustrated by the recruitment of new permanent faculty members
- Student success and the proportion of graduates in employment
- Internal social scholarship schemes supporting equal opportunity
- The research initiation framework and the academic support provided to students
“Receiving a favorable opinion from the highest regulatory authority for management education and degrees in France recognizes the collective excellence of the work carried out by EBS teams, the quality of our programs, and the strength of our faculty. It confirms the relevance of our Audace 6.0 vision: training talents capable of combining Business, Tech, and Human dimensions to fully meet, today and in the future, the expectations of tomorrow’s professions.”
Declares Sébastien Chantelot, Chief Executive Officer of European Business School.
These recognitions position European Business School, a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and the Conférence des Directeurs des Écoles Françaises de Management, among the top 10% of French management schools recognized by the State. Combined with its international legitimacy—once again demonstrated this year through the renewal of its EFMD Master Program accreditation—EBS is experiencing one of the most dynamic and exciting years in its history in 2025.
Founded in 1967, European Business School trains a new generation of business developers: curious, adaptable profiles capable of transforming opportunities into concrete achievements.
At the heart of GA Education, the school deploys a pedagogy centered on movement, creation, and real-world business experience.
Its Audace 6.0 strategy places the Business × Tech × Human hybrid at the core of its programs, within a 100% company-oriented approach, to prepare talent for the professions and skills of tomorrow.
