NEOMA Business School

France is the largest country in Western Europe. It lies on the western edge of the continent of Europe and shares borders with six neighboring countries: Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain. Within these boundaries, France has exceptionally varied scenery. This, together with its rich cultural heritage, make it a common tourist destination and the world's fourth most popular destination for international students.

NEOMA Business School has three campuses located within three different cities: Rouen, Paris, and Reims

Rouen is the capital of French Impressionists, home to Monet's famous Cathedral. It has a medieval downtown core on the Seine River. The Rouen Port is a major European logistics hub with the city situated halfway between Paris and the coast. It was also named one of the regions to visit in 2022 by New York Times, being the only French region cited!

Paris is the capital of France, but also the capital of culture, gastronomy, fashion, and luxury. It is classified as a UNESCO heritage site and is situated in the north-central part of France. 

Reims is the capital of Champagne and is home to many prestigious Champagne Houses. It is regarded as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a major economic & industrial crossroads, located 30 minutes from the CDG airport and 45 minutes from Paris via high-speed train. 

Founded in 2013, NEOMA Business School is the result of the merger of two historical institutions, Reims Business School (1928) and Rouen Business School (1871). NEOMA educates students, executives, and entrepreneurs, and generate knowledge to shape the future of business and society in a global, sustainable, and connected world. In a constantly changing environment, NEOMA Business School is guided in its daily activities by four key values: Openness, Innovation, Respect and Excellence. These are the core values the school aims to share with its students, graduates and more generally, the communities that flourish within its environment.
