BEM - Bordeaux Management School (Now KEDGE BUSINESS SCHOOL) is the legal name of a French Grande École founded in 1874, managed and financed by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce. The Master of Science in Management programme is also known as "École Supérieure de Commerce de Bordeaux" or "ESC Bordeaux".
BEM is a member of the Chapitre de la Conference des Grandes Écoles, which is the association of France's leading schools.
BEM is based in Talence near Bordeaux. BEM is a member of the "campus d'excellence (IDEX)", "Université de Bordeaux", an élite research federation. In 2008, BEM opened new campuses in Dakar and Paris.
BEM Talents is the name of their alumni society.
BEM and Euromed have now merged as KEDGE, which is the third French business school in terms of budget and second for research.
As an EQUIS + AMBA + AACSB school, BEM is a "Triple Crown"; only 12 schools have this triple accreditation in France, and 57 in the world (as on 1/1/2012).

BEM is a member of the PRES Université de Bordeaux which gathers Sciences Po Bordeaux, the National Magistrates School (ENM), Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux and most Bordeaux universities.
The Université de Bordeaux has been selected by the French government to become an IDEX campus, a "campus lauréat des initiatives d'excellence", which are going to be top-funded campuses in France. The aim of these "IDEX" is to compete with the best American universities.
BEM Grande Ecole students can complete a double-degree from either an international partner university or from Bordeaux's Bar School. They also have the possibility to be awarded the "DSCG", the main French accountancy diploma.
La plupart sont accréditées (EQUIS, AACSB et AMBA).
BEM Grande Ecole Students have to complete a 6-month international experience through an internship or study abroad. They can study for a semester/year or a double-degree (MA, MSc or MBA) at a partner university, for instance at HEC Montréal, EBS Business School, Mannheim Business School, Stockholm School of Economics, Nottingham Business School, Laval, Hong Kong University and the highly prestigious Swiss university of Saint-Gallen. Most of them are accredited (EQUIS, AACSB et AMBA) and are highly ranked institutions.
