    4th French Business School IPAG is now ranked 9th in the Top France for research in Economics and Finance. As the 4th largest French business school, it also joins the world's Top 300 (282nd) dominated by the giants Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of California Berkeley. For Duc Khuong Nguyen, Dean of Faculty and Research at the school, « this ranking reflects the tremendous work done by IPAG's teacher-researchers, the quality of their publications in the most prestigious international journals and the consistency of the efforts made for several years now ».

    Once a year, Research.com updates its rankings of the top research-performing universities and schools in scientific fields ranging from Computer Science and Engineering to Mathematics, Neuroscience, Economics Finance, and Medicine. The methodology employed by the platform is based on the use of bibliometric data and the examination of the work of over 160,000 researchers from half a thousand institutions. It is therefore the scientific publications of IPAG researchers and their influence – through the citations they receive – that have enabled the school to obtain this award.

    Very proud of its position in this ranking, IPAG is now looking towards the prestigious Shanghai ranking in which it has appeared every year since 2016 - the results are expected in the summer.

    TESTIMONY OF QUENTIN, STUDENT IN THE GRANDE ECOLE PROGRAMME - AMERICAN TRACK
    Quentin Kleiber, Grande Ecole Programme - American Track
    With a S Baccalaureat, Quentin Kleiber studied for a year in a university before joining IPAG. He is very pleased with this change of direction as he begins his last two years of studies in the Grande Ecole Programme.

    Why did you choose the English version of the IPAG PGE?
    Quentin Kleiber: First of all, I was attracted by the school's international outlook and the 3rd year of the PGE entirely dedicated to expatriation. And then I discovered that you could take all the courses in English alongside students from all over the world. As I was already considering a career abroad and wanted to travel, the American Track was the ideal way to go.

    Tell us about your most memorable time abroad...
    Q.K. With the health crisis, I thought my plans would fall through and then finally, with the support of the school and by rethinking my plans a bit, I had the chance to go to South Korea for 6 months, to Busan University. I discovered a new culture and made many foreign friends.

    To whom would you advise I PAG's American Track?
    Q.K. Anyone who is considering a career abroad wants to improve their English considerably and study in a multicultural environment. I recommend it all the more because today, students on this track can go on a Summer Session in the United States in their first year and obtain double international diplomas at Bachelor's or Master's level with North American universities in Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Montreal...
