The CGE (Conférence des Grandes Ecoles) brings together more than 200 schools. These include business, management and engineering schools. What is the role of the CGE? What is the purpose of their labels? Which schools are members of the CGE? Why choose a business school that is a member of this association? We answer all these questions in this article.
The Conférence des Grandes Ecoles is a non-profit association created in 1973 by eleven French engineering schools and one business school. It represents its members in their dealings with the public authorities, the economy and society. The CGE also takes a stand on subjects related to higher education and research (international openness, entrepreneurship, pedagogy, mobility of young graduates, etc.) and promotes the interests and image of the association's member schools, both nationally and internationally. Each year, it produces surveys, studies and summaries. It is also in charge of the accreditation of the business schools that are members of the association. It has registered collective trademarks such as the Specialised Master, the Master of Science or the BADGE and the CQC. Finally, it guarantees the quality of the Programme Grande École (PGE) of the institutions that offer this programme.
Admission to the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles is based on demanding criteria relating to:
The Conférence des Grandes Ecoles has more than 200 members. There are several types of schools: 143 engineering schools, 38 management and business schools, as well as other specialised establishments (veterinary, military, applied arts schools, Écoles Normales Supérieures...). There are also companies, associations (of headmasters, professors, graduates of engineering, business or management schools) and 14 foreign establishments among the members of the CGE.
The main role of the CGE is to certify the quality of a course's teaching. As mentioned above, it is the creative body:
You've understood: joining a CGE member business school is a guarantee of quality training. It is therefore in your best interest to consider this point when choosing a business school. What's more, choosing a CGE member school is a real springboard: the diplomas offered by these schools are all widely recognised by the private sector. This makes it easier for students to enter the workforce at the end of their studies. It is very rare for students from French CGE member schools to leave their campus without having already received job offers. In addition, these business and management schools maintain and make their professional network available to their students.
The IPAG Business School is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles and offers courses ranging from Bac+3 (Bachelor, BBA...), Bac+5 (Grande Ecole Programme, MBA, MSc...) and Bac+8 (DBA).
