NEOMA Business School - Rouen Campus

Program @ a
Glance

Created in 1871, the NEOMA Business School Rouen Campus (previously known as Rouen School of
Management) is the second oldest school of management in France. The School is a member of the EFMD
(European Foundation for Management Development), of the Chapter of Graduate Schools of Management which
is part of the Conference des Grandes Ecoles and is also a member of the AACSB. On 24 April 2013, Rouen
Business School and Reims Management School announced the merger of the two Schools into a single entity.
The new school will be jointly headed by its Chairman, Yves Bnard (the former Chairman of Reims Management
School) and its Dean, Frank Bostyn. NEOMA Business School has a dual purpose: to be ranked among the best
European schools, and to be recognized as a key corporate partner. In order to serve the interests of all its
stakeholders as well as possible, the new entity will leverage the skills and strengths that have made excellence
the hallmark of both founding Schools

School Information
Health Insurance:

Students MUST have health insurance coverage to stay in France.

After arrival on campus, non-EU students staying more than 3 months will have to
subscribe to the National French Student Social Security Scheme for a fee of 205
(check website for updated amount). They will need to provide a birth certificate
translated into French issued less than 3 months before the arrival date.
Note that the French Social Security will reimburse only a percentage of the medical/
hospital costs ranging from 35% to 70%. It is therefore advisable to take out
additional personal health insurance coverage. This complementary insurance
(called a mutuelle) can be bought in France from 105 upwards. This mutuelle also
includes the third party cover. They will also need a private insurance policy covering
health care, repatriation, etc. A copy of this health insurance policy should be sent
along with the application form.
Other Insurance Coverage :
In addition, all students are required to have repatriation and third party cover (for
physical damage caused to others). This latter insurance will be included in an
insurance taken out to by your parents or in the housing insurance that you will have
to buy on arrival.
Finally, any accommodation in France must be covered by housing insurance. This
can be included in the rent, or not (more information is given with the Housing offer).
The cost is from 30 upwards.

Housing Options:

RBS International Office can book accommodation on campus for students, but
cannot guarantee availability (first come, first served).

Intensive French course is optional. Have to take online French placement test first.
Other academic notes: Bachelor programs offer 6 ECTS (36 contact hours) courses. In
the Master program, all business and social science courses are 5 ECTS (24 contact
hours).
Since SMU students are usually nominated in the Master program, they can only take 5
ECTS business/social science courses and French Language and French Civilization
which are 5 ECTS courses that have 30 contact hours.
To counter the imbalance of the workload between SMU and RBS, SMU students must
take at least 5 courses of 5 ECTS each on exchange.
Students can take courses taught in French, but they must have a CEFR score of B2
minimum or TEF score of at least 500.
Course Registration
All courses are open to international exchange students and planning is done so all
courses are available to students. Students should register on-line. At the beginning of
each semester, there is an add-drop period. Students must then make their final course
selection. It is their responsibility to have their selection approved by their home school.
