Thotis, a free digital media founded in 2018, has become a reference for orienting young people in France. Created in 2020, the Thotis ranking of French universities compares and highlights higher education institutions based on specific and relevant criteria for students. In 2024, this ranking extends to multiple disciplines such as law, medicine, economics, and management. Among these four majors, the University of Caen Normandy stands out in Economics, in which it scored 3rd place out of 38 universities.

An astounding performance in economics

The University of Caen Normandy brilliantly stands out with a 3rd place in the ranking of universities in Economics.

The criteria of the Ranking in Economics

The Thotis ranking relies on several discriminatory criteria:

• The professional integration rate, corresponding to the percentage of graduates who obtained employment matching their diploma within the first 30 months after graduating.
• Entry level of high school graduates, taking into account the honours obtained by incoming students with their high school diploma, which indicates the level of demand and competitiveness of the university.
• Rate of students receiving a scholarship, reflecting the university’s engagement towards equality of chances as well as education for all.
