With the development of its Programmes portfolio, and in particular, the introduction of new programmes that are aligned with the changing needs of the globalized business world, innovation and pedagogy, Groupe ESC Clermont has a comprehensive course offering. The Bachelor in International Management, created in 2007, or the Master in Management programme, both figure prominently and regularly in national rankings (Le Figaro) and international rankings (Top 100 of the Financial Times).
