French schools preferred by recruiters

From the point of view of companies and future recruiters, what about the ranking of schools? Every year, Times Higher Education publishes a ranking of 250 schools and universities worldwide according to their “employability”. In 2020, 18 French courses are doing well.

Emerging surveys just under 9,000 professionals from a variety of business units, sizes and industries. They were asked to answer a single question by ranking the best institutions in terms of employability from a list of 250 institutions.

The French schools preferred by recruiters are :

  • CentraleSupélec, in 22nd place;
  • HEC Paris, in 24th position;
  • Polytechnique, in 30th;

Here is the ranking of the favorite schools of French students.

Top 3 business schools :

  • Audencia, recommended by 90% of its students;
  • Ieseg in second place;
  • Burgundy School of Business in third place.

Top 3 engineering schools

  • Polytech, Nice-Sophia ;
  • ESPCI Paris ;
  • UniLaSalle.

It may be interesting to compare the latter information with that of Parcoursup. The engineering schools most in demand by the S final year students in 2020 are INSA and Polytech. They both occupy the top 19 positions in different cities in France. UTC is in 20th position.

For universities, the ranking is less surprising. The most famous Parisian universities are on the podium:

  • Sciences Po ;
  • University of Paris-Dauphine ;
  • University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

The top 3 specialised masters of the HappyAtSchool label :

  • Sup de Vente ;
  • Euridis Business School ;
  • ONIS-STM.

If ChooseMyCompany is not interested in the results performance to evaluate these different schools and universities, how are these rankings defined? Students judge their institutions on five criteria:

  • facilities ;
  • the environment ;
  • the level of education ;
  • student life ;
  • links with business and confidence in the future.

Student recommendations carry a lot of weight, as does the participation rate. The school or university must meet a maximum number of criteria and have a minimum of 70% support and 20% membership to obtain the label.

A total of 6,530 students were surveyed about their institutions. Overall trends emerge.

  • 94% are happy to connect with peers.
  • 91.6% are confident about their professional future and finding their first job.
  • Concerning the teaching, only 76.2% are satisfied, because they denounce the lack of practice and too theoretical courses.
  • Only 69.5% approve of the institutions’ environmental commitment. Many students would like to see more involvement from their school.

These rankings, which do not take prestige into account, will certainly lead the grandes écoles to include the happiness of their students in their priorities.
