Universite de Strasbourg — EM Program Overview
Located at the heart of Strasbourg, the Ecole d'Management business school is a part of the European Pole for Management and Economics, affiliated with the Université de Strasbourg and Louis Pasteur University. Its shared facilities enable it to operate at peak effectiveness, serving some 3,500 students, 150 faculty members, 200 researchers and 500 professional speakers in a little more than seven acres.
Of the 29 business schools in France categorized as Grandes Ecoles, the EM Strasbourg holds a unique legal status that enables it to combine the advantages of the university and those of the private sector. Its status offers it a high degree of autonomy in terms of development policies while still benefiting from the rich university infrastructure.
The EM Strasbourg's goal is to establish a pole of competencies in management and economics that will be recognized across Europe for teaching, research, interaction with economic and industrial arenas, and international focus. The synergies among teachers and researchers and students of the three divisions are facilitated by activities and structures promoting joint research and work.
The library at EM Strasbourg is the largest library dedicated to management and economics in east France.
