Excelia prices the Programme Grande École by the year you ENTER it, not just by the year you are in, and that distinction decides which number applies to you. Its fee table gives two rates for the same programme year: a student who entered in Year 1 pays €14,000 (EU) / €14,750 (non-EU) all the way through, while a student who enters at third-year or Master level pays €15,000 (EU) / €15,750 (non-EU) for Years 4 and 5. An applicant arriving with a bachelor's — this site's reader — is the second kind, so the two-year master cycle the Financial Times ranks costs €30,000 (EU) or €31,500 (non-EU), plus a one-off €350 multiservice fee and a €50 admission fee. This page quoted a band of €28,000–€31,000 until 6 September 2026; its floor was the first-year entrant's price and applied to nobody entering the master. That places Excelia in the mid-range of the French grande école market — meaningfully below the marquee Parisian schools (HEC, ESSEC, ESCP) and broadly in line with the other AACSB/EQUIS regional grandes écoles. The work-study (apprenticeship) route can have the host company cover fees entirely. Excelia publishes fees by entry year and campus and revises them each cycle, so confirm the figure for your exact entry point and EU / non-EU status on the school's own page before you budget.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Excelia Master in Management cost?
€15,000 a year for EU students and €15,750 for non-EU students if you enter at master level — which is what an applicant arriving with a bachelor's degree does — so about €30,000 (EU) or €31,500 (non-EU) across the two-year master cycle the Financial Times ranks, plus a one-off €350 multiservice fee and a €50 admission fee. The lower €14,000 / €14,750 rate on Excelia's table is not an early-year rate but an ENTRY-POINT rate: it belongs to students who entered the grande école in Year 1 and keep it for all five years. Either way Excelia is mid-range for a French grande école, below the marquee Parisian schools. The work-study route can have the host company cover fees. Fees vary by entry year and campus and change each cycle, so confirm your exact figure on Excelia's own page.
Is Excelia Business School accredited and well ranked?
Yes. Excelia Business School holds the 'triple crown' of international accreditations — EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA — making it one of a minority of business schools worldwide to carry all three, and it adds the EFMD Accredited Master label and PRME membership. Its Master in Management ranked 39th worldwide and 12th in France in the Financial Times Masters in Management 2025, and the school sits in the FT's European Business Schools 2025 ranking as well. It is a credible, internationally accredited grande école rather than a marquee Parisian brand.
When is the Excelia Master in Management application deadline?
Excelia runs rolling, year-round admissions rather than fixed rounds — you can apply at any time and the school turns the video interview around quickly. There is no single deadline, but seats and scholarship funding can fill as the cycle progresses, so applying earlier is still safer. Confirm the current intake calendar and any campus-specific cut-offs on Excelia's own admissions page.

  • Excelia Business School — Master in Management (Programme Grande École). NEGATIVE RE-TESTED 2026-09-05, and both reproduced — this is the control case for the sweep. The page still names no GMAT, GRE or Tage Mage requirement and publishes no admitted-student score average, and the rolling-admissions claim is now quotable in the school's own words rather than inferred from silence: candidates 'can complete this assessment at any time throughout the year, with no predefined session dates'. Also captured, and previously only described as 'a fast turnaround': candidates 'have 5 days to respond to a series of questions' in the online video interview, and 'will receive notification of their admission or non-admission within 6 days following their interview'. The €50 admission fee is confirmed on the same page. FEE INTAKE CHECKED 2026-09-05: the page still prices by entry year without an academic-year label anywhere on it — €14,000–€15,000 EU and €14,750–€15,750 non-EU, unchanged since 23 June 2026 — so no intake can be attached to this fee without inventing one. FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36): the fee table gives TWO rates for the same programme year, split by entry point — 'Year 3 (First-year entry) €14,000' against 'Year 3 (Third-year entry) €15,000', and the same split at Years 4 and 5, where the second column is labelled 'Third-year entry or Master'. A bachelor's-holder entering the master cycle therefore pays €15,000 (EU) / €15,750 (non-EU) for both years, i.e. €30,000 / €31,500 — not the €28,000-€31,000 band this profile carried, whose floor was the first-year entrant's rate. feesNumeric corrected 29,000 to 30,000 (EU basis, matching the convention used at Rennes and ISCTE).
