About NEOMA Business School
  • Founded in 2013, NEOMA Business School is the result of the merger of two historical institutions, Reims Business School (1928) and Rouen Business School (1871).
  • NEOMA is ranked 30th worldwide (vs. 43rd in 2019 and 28th in 2020) and 7th in France. After last year's surge (up 15 places), this stable position really consolidates this institution among the world's top 30. NEOMA Business School is annually ranked in the top 7 French institutions fully recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education.
  • With 380 partner universities, NEOMA aims to create a multicultural environment within its campuses. Each year, NEOMA welcomes 9,000 students of 100 different nationalities on its three campuses. 72% of NEOMA's teaching staff is international. 
  • Programs are taught completely in English: NEOMA offers two 4-year Bachelor Cycles covering the fundamentals of management followed by a 2-year Master in Management Cycle.

  • The usual workload is 30 ECTS credits per semester (5 courses). The minimum workload required is 20 ECTS credits.
  • In addition to the final examination, classes are assessed continuously (participation, projects, papers, etc.).
  • All courses are graded on a scale out of 20. The minimum pass mark is 10/20. Academic transcripts feature the ECTS grading standard.
  • Transcripts are generally available 2 months after the final exams. Students are invited to download their transcript directly on the internal portal. An original copy can be sent by post upon request.

Practical Information
  • INSURANCE: All students are required to be covered by health insurance during their stay in France.
  • VISA TO FRANCE: Non-European students will need a visa to enter and stay in the Schengen Area for the length of their studies. Students must apply well in advance of their arrival for a visa at the nearest French Consulate or Campus France.
  • STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: The Wellness offer includes assistance to students with specific needs, support from professional psychologists, medical advice by registered nurses, a listening ear from the "Diversity, Equal Opportunities, Handicap" counselors, and various workshops and classes that focus on students' well-being.
  • BUDDY PROGRAM: NEOMA BS has decided to implement a Buddy Program to assist international students in adapting, learning, and integrating into their new school, city, and environment. It is held by an active student union on each campus, entirely dedicated to international students and their integration into our community life and French culture. Their role is to propose different kinds of events (running dinner for example) and trips, so they can make their stay in France memorable. They will help them become real members of the NEOMA BS family.
