NEOMA is expanding its territories of excellence

Published on 29/05/2026

NEOMA is constantly updating its teaching methods to meet the demands of our fast-changing, increasingly complex world. Tomorrow's decision-makers need to understand global trends, anticipate what is coming next and combine knowledge from different fields. In May, NEOMA announced a new series of measures designed to fulfil this mission. 

Strengthening the essential foundations

Before exploring new horizons, NEOMA has consolidated the strengths that define it. Over the past three years, the School has invested heavily in its people, its research and its infrastructure.

  • 65 new professors hired over the last three years
  • 86% international faculty
  • 3-fold increase in scientific output since 2020 (ranked No. 1 in France for publication stars)

And on the campus front, a historic project is taking shape: the new Reims campus will open in January 2027, offering 35,000 m², 85 classrooms, a 750-seat auditorium and room for 4,700 students. This €140‑million investment is designed to give students a learning environment that does justice to their ambitions. Large-scale projects are also planned on the Rouen campus.

“It’s the strength of our roots that means we can now venture into fields that haven’t historically been ours, preparing our students for a world whose traditional reference points are shifting profoundly,” 

Delphine Manceau, Dean of NEOMA Business School. 

Bridging disciplines: opening up new areas of academic excellence 

NEOMA will offer new double-degree programmes: with Gobelins (Paris) in the field of visual media and cinema, and UCLA (USA) in the field of entertainment. The School is also teaming up with top‑tier institutions widely acknowledged as authorities in their disciplines. 

“Today’s major challenges can’t be addressed within the confines of a single discipline,” explains Alexandre Pourchet, NEOMA’s Deputy Associate Dean for Programmes and International Affairs. “We prepare our students best by combining management with humanities, finance with technology, and business with science.”  

NEOMA announces three new areas of academic excellence: 

  • Management and the humanities 
  • Finance and technology 
  • Management and science 

Opening up to the world: 30 new partnerships   

NEOMA has formed partnerships with 30 additional universities among the world’s very best. The aim is not to sign a large number of agreements but to collaborate with leading institutions in each field, from finance to the sciences and from the humanities to technology. These partners include: 

  • Stanford University (California, USA) 
  • Columbia University (New York, USA) 
  • Cornell University (Ithaca, New York State, USA) 
  • McGill University (Montreal, Canada)
