SKEMA Business School is a school created by the merger of two French schools, CERAM Business School and Groupe ESC Lille in 2009. The school offers a BBA in Global Management, masters, MBA, doctoral and executive education programs in China, France, Brazil and, since 2010, in the US. The school is ranked 26th in the Financial Times Master in Management 2016 ranking.
The merger between and ESC Lille was first announced on June 30, 2009. They now form a single non-profit organization approved by their respective governing bodies (the General Assembly of the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Directors of ESC Lille). The official ceremony and announcement of the new name took place November 16, 2009. and ESC Lille were respectively founded in 1963 by the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and in 1892 by Lille Chamber of Commerce. The school name, SKEMA, is derived from the Greek, skhêma (shape, figure, formation of an object) meaning schema in Latin. It also stands for the initial letters of "School of Knowledge Economy and Management".
The school is now the largest French business school in number of students (7,500), second in number of teachers (166) and fifth in terms of budget.
It plans to establish a student body of 8,000 to 9,000 by the end of 2020 and to reach a €100M budget (€62M in 2012) and a 50% share of international students (35% in 2012) by 2015.
SKEMA has opened several international campuses to give its students an international experience. It has three sites in France in Lille, Paris and Sophia Antipolis near Nice and three sites in China (Suzhou), Brazil (Belo Horizonte) and in the USA (Raleigh, North Carolina, in cooperation with North Carolina State University). Several new campuses are envisioned in Australia, India (Bangalore) and Russia. Lille and Sophia Antipolis campuses are the historic locations of the ESC Lille and CERAM Business School.
