SKEMA is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles.

This official status was conferred on 6 July 2015 and declared in the Bulletin Officiel on 23 July 2015.

It is a community devoted to learning and the creation and transmission of management knowledge and practice. Since its inception, SKEMA has become a global school with a multi-campus structure and a large portfolio of programmes taught in English and in French. These range from undergraduate level to continuing education and are aligned with the Bologna higher education norms (License, Master, Doctorate).

International strategy:

SKEMA aims to become the global business school on five continents. Its common international strategy is to train management leaders in the knowledge economy by developing :

A school with one identity on its different sites, with campuses set up in the heart of scientific hubs. The school’s culture fosters an international outlook, excellence and innovation.

Multi-site education programmes offering mobility, professional expertise and interdisciplinary programmes (technology-management).

Synergy with the school’s local environments both in terms of research and in business partnerships. Cross fertilisation within science hubs (but also among these hubs) that will give an overall view of innovation and the needs for specific skills in the world’s different regions.

Systematic involvement of global companies with the school (governance, programmes, incubators, research, students).

The school is managed according to the values of excellence, humanism, diversity and innovation.
