Planning to study in France as an international student and considering NEOMA Business School? This guide walks through what the school itself publishes about its programmes, who can apply, what it costs for the 2026/27 year, and how the application and arrival process actually works. All facts below come from the official NEOMA website (neoma-bs.com), accessed on 5 August 2026; tuition, deadlines and language requirements change, so treat the official pages as the final word.
Why international students consider NEOMA Business School
NEOMA Business School is one of the French business schools holding the “triple crown” of accreditations - AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA - which the school notes is held by only about 1% of business schools worldwide. It runs three French campuses (Reims, Rouen and Paris) plus a persistent virtual campus where students and staff interact as avatars around the clock. The school’s own key figures describe a community of roughly 740 staff, 230 permanent professors (86% international), 400 academic partners in 61 countries, and an alumni network of 80,000 graduates, 25% of whom work internationally across more than 127 countries. Around 29% of NEOMA Business School students are international, representing 100 nationalities, and the school reports over 2,500 international students on its three campuses each year.
Two points matter for international applicants in particular. First, NEOMA Business School holds the “Bienvenue en France” label awarded by an independent review body - in February 2026 the school announced the highest three-star rating - which signals a certified level of welcome and support for international students. Second, the school’s own figures cite 6,000 internships per year (25% abroad) and 98,000 internship, apprenticeship and employment offers annually, plus 700 professional speakers and 400 companies at recruiting forums.
Campuses and what studying there is like
Each NEOMA Business School campus has a different character. Reims is made up of two contemporary sites about five minutes apart by tram. Rouen sits in a 7-hectare wooded area. Paris is a 6,500 m2 modular space in the 13th arrondissement. All three are equipped with augmented learning rooms, creativity rooms, simulation rooms, trading rooms, language labs and multimedia libraries, and the school runs a 24/7 virtual campus on top of the physical sites. Student life is organised around 97 societies and clubs involving about 2,400 students and 500 events a year, with an annual budget of around 3.5 million euros.
For international students, NEOMA Business School offers exchange semesters, double degrees, summer programmes (four intensive one-week courses), a Summer Venture Lab for entrepreneurship, a Summer in Luxury Management, and made-to-measure study tours with corporate visits. The school’s international office and a dedicated welcome team handle arrival logistics, which is one of the reasons the campus experience is often highlighted in its own materials.
Undergraduate programmes at NEOMA Business School
The flagship undergraduate programme at NEOMA Business School is the Global BBA, a four-year degree (BAC+4) with two tracks. The General Track spends years 1-2 at Reims, Rouen or Paris, year 3 on an academic exchange at one of the school’s 250 partner universities, and year 4 back in Reims or Rouen with a 6-month internship abroad and a choice of Major. The Global Double Degree CESEM Track spends years 1-2 at Reims and years 3-4 at one of 23 partner universities across 14 countries, earning a double degree. Instruction is in English, French or the partner university’s language, and the next intake is September 2026.
Year 1 entry requires an international high school diploma equivalent to the French baccalaureate. Selection is based on the application plus interviews assessing motivation and English proficiency; the English track accepts TOEIC 4-skills, TOEFL ibt, IELTS, Cambridge and Duolingo, with required scores confirmed by the school. The Global BBA also offers a selective work-study option in year 4 where the employer covers tuition and pays a salary. Applications run on a rolling basis from September with a final deadline at the end of June, and the application fee is €80.
Master in Management and MSc options
The core postgraduate programme at NEOMA Business School is the Master in Management (MiM), a 2-3 year programme in Reims or Rouen taught in a French or English track, with intakes in September 2026 and January 2027. Year 1 offers more than 40 course combinations (Major + Minor); Year 2 opens more than 130 specialisations, including NEOMA Business School’s own MSc portfolio and 100+ double degrees with partners in France and abroad, with up to 18 months of professional experience built in. Entry requires a Bachelor’s degree from a non-French institution with at least three years of education (two of them outside France). The English track asks for TOEIC, TOEFL ibt, IELTS, Cambridge or Duolingo, with GMAT or GRE recommended (scores to be confirmed with the school); the application fee is €100.
Alongside the MiM, NEOMA Business School runs a portfolio of 15-month full-time MSc programmes in finance, marketing, management & strategy and sector expertise - for example MSc International Finance (Reims/Rouen), MSc Marketing (Paris/Reims/Rouen), MSc Business Analytics, MSc Artificial Intelligence for Business, MSc Supply Chain Management, MSc Cultural & Creative Industries, MSc Wine & Gastronomy, and the International Master in Luxury Management (Milan/Reims, 15-18 months). A 1-year MSc requires a 4-year Bachelor’s degree, or a 3-year degree plus one year of professional experience; a 2-year MSc pathway (with the International Pre-Master first year) accepts any 3-year degree. The 12-month International Pre-Master itself is open to business and non-business backgrounds and feeds directly into the second year of an MSc.

Scholarships are a significant part of the international picture at NEOMA Business School. The school reports awarding nearly 900 scholarships in 2025-26. For international applicants: the Early Bird discount (admitted and enrolled by 31 January) is up to €3,500 for Global BBA, MiM or MSc International Finance and up to €2,000 for other full-time MSc; the Excellence, Shape the Future and Achievement scholarships each offer up to €4,000; Welcome to France up to €2,000; and High Calibre up to €3,000. Except for Early Bird, these cannot be combined, and all are limited in number and applied directly as tuition reductions. French state CROUS grants (social criteria), the Flywire scholarship and government-guaranteed or partner-bank loans round out the options.
Application support and what happens after you apply
The application at NEOMA Business School runs through the online portal apply.neoma-bs.fr. For the Master in Management, rolling admission means applying by 28 June for September 2026 or by mid-October for January 2027; the Global BBA rolls from September to end of June; the International Pre-Master accepts applications from September to mid-July. Decisions arrive by email within about two weeks of the interview. Application fees are €80 for the Global BBA and €100 for MiM and Pre-Master. Region-based admissions managers (for China, India, Latin America, Europe, etc.) are listed on the programme pages, which is useful if you want country-specific guidance before applying.
After admission, NEOMA Business School’s support structure for international students includes the Welcome to NEOMA programme covering settling in on campus and in France, health and well-being, and administrative steps; the Bienvenue en France label underpins housing, insurance and arrival assistance. The Talent & Career Development unit (around 40 specialists) then takes over for career support - internships, job applications and the school’s 98,000 annual offers. A practical sequence for most international applicants: choose your intake and programme early, confirm the language-test requirement with the school (scores are not published as flat minimums), apply in the first months of the rolling window, and line up funding before visa paperwork.
