ICN Business School partners with Global Education Group to expand international reach

ICN Business School has entered into a partnership with GEDU (Global Education Group) to support its international expansion and academic development. 

The collaboration will enable ICN to strengthen its campuses in Paris and Nancy while pursuing new opportunities to establish a presence outside of France. ICN currently enrolls 3,000 students, 38% of whom are international. 

Professor Ray Lloyd, GEDU Deputy CEO, stated:

"We are delighted to welcome ICN into the GEDU family. They have done an amazing job in climbing the world rankings in the last few years and we feel privileged that they have chosen GEDU to help them develop into a genuine leader in business education.”

The school, holds triple accreditation from EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB. ICN has also achieved notable rankings in the QS subject rankings, including its Executive MBA program (66th in Europe, 151-160 globally) and its Master’s in Management (101-110 globally).

GEDU will support ICN in delivering its research objectives and enhancing its teaching methods, which include the ATM (Art, Technology, Management) approach. This method integrates interdisciplinary elements to prepare students for global business challenges and is a defining feature of ICN's educational model.

The partnership also aims to broaden ICN’s international reach and strengthen its position in the competitive global education market.
