EM Normandie Business School
EM Normandie is one of the oldest business schools in Europe, founded in Le Havre in 1871 to serve the port. It now runs campuses in Le Havre, Caen, Paris, Oxford and Dubai.
About EM Normandie
It is a practical school rather than a theoretical one, with a long record in logistics, supply chain and maritime trade alongside general management, finance and marketing.
The Dubai and Oxford campuses give students the option of part of the degree outside France, which appeals to students from the Gulf in particular.
