ICD Business School's Grande Ecole Programme achieves EFMD Accredited certification for 3 years
The ICD Business School has just been certified "EFMD Accredited" for the Grande Ecole Programme, considered as one of the most demanding accreditations. This is a recognition of its academic excellence, the quality of its international immersion, its proximity to the business world and the precise follow-up of the students before they join the very dynamic community of the ICD Alumni network.
The EFMD is an international non-profit association promoting information, research, best practice and innovation in management.
Enrolling in an EFMD programme is a guarantee of a balanced, international programme and a qualified and highly qualified teaching staff.
"The ICD Business School, which claims a unique positioning centred on sales, business development and marketing, is proud to have obtained the EFMD accreditation for its Grande Ecole programme. This recognition will, on the one hand, allow us to increase our interest among international students who are seeking to acquire expertise in these fields and, on the other hand, to strengthen our visibility on the international scene in order to establish new partnerships with major institutions," underlines Faroudja Bouchentouf, Director of the ICD Business School.
A demanding recognition
The EFMD Committee has recognised the academic excellence of the ICD Business School's Grande Ecole Programme, carried by the teaching and research staff, as well as its willingness to develop the international dimension, proposed in the teaching and through university exchanges favouring the international diversity of students.
In addition, EFMD underlined the rigour of the institution in the follow-up and evaluation of its students, as well as their professionalisation through the great proximity maintained with national and international companies.
Pursuing its international development
International development, which is part of the school's DNA, will be boosted to continue the influence of the ICD Business School, thanks to this much appreciated recognition. New prospects for collaboration are now being opened up, both with partner universities and those that will become partners.
Combined with the "Welcome to France" label, this new accreditation ensures that students are welcomed and followed up with the utmost quality at ICD Business School. This is a guarantee of confidence for international students, assured of the quality of the programme they are joining.
2022, a year of dynamic recognition for the ICD Business School
The EFMD accreditation completes a series of important official recognitions, which testify to the beautiful evolution of the ICD Business School: in constant development, with ever greater demands and concern for excellence.
In 2021, the ICD Business School obtained the renewal of its Master's Degree for a period of 4 years, thus testifying to the quality of the Grande Ecole Programme diploma. Then, the "Welcome to France" label was obtained, recognising the quality of the welcome given to foreign students at our school.
In January 2022, it was the turn of the ICD Bachelor's degree in Management Sciences to be awarded the Grade de Licence, for a period of two years from 1 September 2022.
By receiving the EFMD Accredited Programme label, the ICD Business School confirms its recognition by national and international authorities.
