Several benchmark rankings were published at the end of 2025, highlighting the School's excellence and commitment in a number of areas!
Firstly, Audencia has emerged on the international stage.
This was first seen in the Shanghai ranking by discipline, published at the end of November (2025 edition).
It ranked our school first in France (out of 18 institutions ranked) and 10th worldwide in the Business Administration category. This exceptional result places us alongside the world's leading universities: Harvard University, Copenhagen Business School, Indiana University, and Monash University.
In the Finance category of the same Shanghai Ranking, Audencia ranks in the 151-200 range worldwide, making it the 4th best school in France out of 6 institutions ranked.
In the TOP 30 of the best European business schools
In early December, the Financial Times published the new edition (2025) of its ranking of the best business schools in Europe. Audencia ranks 26th (four places higher than last year).
As a reminder, this ranking is an aggregate of our rankings in the following four categories: MBA, Executive Education, MiM, and EMBA, each accounting for 25% of the score.
...and on the national scene
Firstly, Audencia recognized for its environmental and social commitment
ChangeNOW (in partnership with Les Echos) has just published its annual ranking of the schools most committed to ecological and social transition. Audencia occupies the same position as in 2024, highlighting its long-standing commitment in this area.
More specifically:
- Audencia appears in the Top 3 in the Programs category, highlighting its impressive “density” of “impactful” courses.
- The institution is ranked 2nd in the Diversity and Inclusion section (based on the following criteria: gender balance among faculty and students, proportion of scholarship students, proportion of international students, presence of a person in charge of prevention/discrimination/promotion of diversity, etc.).
