Tuition for Excelia Business School's Master in Management runs about €14,000 a year for EU students and €14,750 for non-EU students in the first years, rising to roughly €15,000 (EU) and €15,750 (non-EU) in the later, master-cycle years — so the two-year master cycle that the Financial Times ranks costs in the region of €28,000–€31,000, plus a one-off €350 multiservice fee and a €50 admission fee. 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.

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.
