Montpellier Business School

Montpellier Business School is a French business school (grande école) located in Montpellier. Founded in 1897 by the Montpellier Chamber of Commerce and Industry, this Grande école is one of the oldest of the French Écoles Supérieures de Commerce.

Montpellier Business School offers several programmes: Bachelor, Master (programme Grande Ecole), 15 Masters of Science, and Executive MBA. The business school has the triple accreditation EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA.

Since 2013 Montpellier Business School has been constituted as an association under the law of 1901, which guarantees its non-profit status. Cementing this in 2017 Montpellier Business School was designated a Private Higher Education Institution of General Interest (EESPIG). by the French State, this further ensures that all its resources are exclusively assigned to the public service mission of higher education.

The ESC Montpellier was created in 1897 by the Chamber of Commerce of Montpellier (CCI Montpellier).

In 2024 MSBS was ranked 69th in Europe overall by the Financial Times, with its flagship MiM program being placed at 40th.

In 2025 Le Figaro placed the MiM at 13th and the Bachelor Of International Business Administration 10th in its "Classement des écoles de commerce" 2025 (Ranking of schools of business).

MBS is a grande école, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and often connected to, the main framework of the French public university system. Grandes écoles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process, and a significant proportion of their graduates occupy the highest levels of French society. Similar to Ivy League schools in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and C9 League in China, graduation from a grande école is considered the prerequisite credential for any top government, administrative and corporate position in France.

The degrees are accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France). Higher education business degrees in France are organized into three levels thus facilitating international mobility: the Licence / Bachelor's degrees, and the Master's and Doctorat degrees. The Bachelors and the Masters are organized in semesters: 6 for the Bachelors and 4 for the Masters. Those levels of study include various "parcours" or paths based on UE (Unités d'enseignement or Modules), each worth a defined number of European credits (ECTS). A student accumulates those credits, which are generally transferable between paths. A Bachelors is awarded once 180 ECTS have been obtained (bac + 3); a Masters is awarded once 120 additional credits have been obtained (bac +5). The highly coveted PGE (Grand Ecole Program) ends with the degree of Master's in Management (MiM)
