About business, administration & law master’s in France
France's business master's landscape splits sharply between two systems. Grandes Écoles — HEC Paris, INSEAD, ESSEC, ESCP, EDHEC, EMLYON, Grenoble, Audencia, SKEMA — carry the FT top-ranked Master in Management and MBA coverage at €25k–€90k tuition. Research universities (Paris-Dauphine, Sorbonne, Sciences Po, Paris-Saclay, Toulouse Capitole) run MSc Finance, MSc Management and LL.M. tracks at statutory rates of €0–€4k for EU / €3,770–€6k for non-EU. Sciences Po Paris runs a distinct international-affairs and public policy master's ecosystem. LL.M. tracks in international, business and European law sit at Sorbonne, Sciences Po and Paris-Saclay. IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL 90 is common; GMAT expected at top Grandes Écoles.
