What is the recognition of the MSc in Project Management?
Choosing an MSc is also an investment in a qualification. Before committing, it is legitimate to want to understand what the degree is truly worth on the job market, in France and internationally. The MSc in Project Management at EDC Paris Business School is built on solid, verifiable foundations, from its regulatory framework to its professional partnerships.
Academic recognition and accreditations
The MSc in Project Management awards the RNCP qualification 39484 at Level 7, registered with the Répertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles. This qualification is awarded jointly by EDC Paris Business School and the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, providing concrete assurance that the programme meets precise academic and professional standards defined and regulated by the State.
This Master’s-level qualification (Bac+5) is part of the European LMD system and is directly comparable to university Master’s degrees across Europe. For employers, it sends a clear signal: the graduate has completed a structured, assessed programme recognised by the relevant authorities.
The MSc accreditation goes beyond the national framework alone. EDC Paris Business School is EFMD Accredited, an international accreditation awarded by the European Foundation for Management Development, one of the most demanding quality assurance bodies in higher education management. The school is also a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE) and holds PRME (UN), BSIS, Erasmus+ and “Bienvenue en France” labels, all of which reflect the quality of its programmes and its commitment to internationalisation and social responsibility.
Professional recognition and corporate partners
The professional value of an MSc is not measured solely by academic labels. It is also reflected in graduates’ ability to secure senior roles shortly after completing their studies.
The MSc in Project Management prepares students for practical roles across a wide range of professional environments, thanks to an action-based teaching approach: case studies, group projects, and a consulting mission carried out with a major company, which is one of the highlights of the programme. This real-world immersion is highly valued by recruiters.
The Corporate Relations team at EDC Paris Business School supports students in finding internships, apprenticeships and employment, drawing on an active network of partner companies. Organisations such as Orange, SFR, Thales, Sodexo, Michael Page and Doctolib are among those that have hosted EDC Paris students. This strong grounding in the professional world supports a career in project management immediately after graduation.
Rankings and programme reputation
EDC Paris Business School enjoys a well-established reputation as a business school, built over several decades and regularly assessed by independent organisations. The programme’s MSc ranking is monitored by specialist publications such as L’Étudiant and Meilleurs Masters, which assess employability, teaching quality and international exposure.
The EFMD Accredited label, renewed for the Grande École Programme, is one of the most significant international recognitions, as it evaluates the institution as a whole: governance, faculty, research, employability and internationalisation. This accreditation places EDC Paris Business School among a select group of institutions whose quality is recognised well beyond France.
Employability and testimonials
The figures speak for themselves. The employment rate within six months of graduation reaches 74.07% for MSc in Project Management graduates, an employability indicator that reflects the programme’s alignment with labour market expectations.
Graduates testimonials reinforce this momentum. One graduate shares their experience:
“I started a business while studying at EDC Paris Business School. At the same time, I joined the Student Entrepreneur Pathway.
