SKEMA Business School (School of Knowledge Economy and Management) is one of the top French business schools, devoted to higher education and research. It has the legal status of a non-profit association under the French "1901 law". It was founded in 2009 as a result of the merger between the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce (ESC), Lille and , Sophia Antipolis.[1] The Lille school was founded in 1892 and CERAM in 1963.[2] It offers programmes such as a BBA in Global Management, Master of Science (MS and MSc), EMBA,[3] doctoral equivalences and executive education programs in France, Brazil, China, and the US.[4]
SKEMA Business School was recently rated by the Financial Times and The Economist as one of the top business schools in continental Europe and one of the leading business schools worldwide.
History[]
The merger between CERAM Business School[5] and ESC Lille initially came as a surprise due to a discrepancy in rankings between the respective school, making this an unlikely match. The merger was announced on June 30th, 2009 and they now form a single non-profit organization confirmed by their respective governing bodies (the General Assembly of the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Directors of ESC Lille). The official ceremony and announcement of the new name took place November 16, 2009.[6] CERAM Business School and ESC Lille were respectively founded in 1963 by the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and in 1892 by Lille Chamber of Commerce. The new school name, SKEMA, is derived from the Greek, skhêma (shape, figure, formation of an object) meaning schema in Latin. It also stands for the initial letters of "School of Knowledge Economy and Management".
The consolidated schools is now one of the largest French business schools in the number of students (8,500), seventh in number of teachers (166) and sixth in terms of budget.[7]
Since its beginnings in 2009 as a result of the merger between ESC Lille and CERAM Business School, SKEMA has been a global business school with the same ambition for its French and international campuses: to train mobile and adaptable leaders and managers, able to contribute to the knowledge economy and generate sustainable performance with an appreciation for the values and challenges of society, the environment and the economy.
