NEOMA's world
Thematics :
NEOMA Business School has been following the coronavirus situation very closely with the setting up of an internal management unit in January charged with applying official instructions and implementing any required measures. The unit is made up of the Dean's Office, Heads of Campus, Programme and International departments. Our teams have therefore been active since the beginning of the outbreak to ensure individual support is provided to each student affected. Communication has been stepped up to ensure that official recommendations and guidelines are regularly circulated.
