Published on 18 May 2026

Financial Times today publishes its 2026 ranking of Executive Education programmes. NEOMA Business School’s Customised Programmes (tailor-made programmes for companies) have maintained their 12th position worldwide, representing a rise of 24 places over the past three years. At national level, the School is now ranked 3rd among French business schools, up from 4th place last year.

The School’s customised programmes stand out across three key criteria:

  • “Faculty Diversity”, which assesses the diversity of the teaching faculty (4th worldwide)
  • “Follow-up”, which evaluates the quality of post-programme support (5th worldwide)
  • “New Skills & Learning”, which measures the relevance of newly acquired skills and the extent to which the programme encourages new ways of thinking (8th worldwide).

“This 12th global ranking and 3rd place in France reflect NEOMA Business School’s commitment to the development of its Executive Education offering, a momentum in which the School takes great pride and intends to pursue further. As a cornerstone of our strategic plan, Engage for the Future, Executive Education embodies our ambition to support companies over the long term. This result recognises the work carried out by our teams in recent years and encourages us to continue striving for excellence in our programmes for professional audiences,” said Delphine Manceau, Dean of NEOMA Business School.

“This ranking highlights the relevance of an approach that NEOMA Business School has championed for several years: Executive Education designed in close partnership with companies, centred on their specific challenges and the transformations they are experiencing. The satisfaction expressed through this evaluation reflects the strength of these relationships, an approach consistently recognised year after year by feedback from our partners,” added Stéphane Dubreuille, Director of Executive Education at NEOMA Business School.
