At the start of 2012, only 12 schools had this triple accreditation in France, and 57 in the world.[5]

BEM was a member of the PRES Université de Bordeaux which included Sciences Po Bordeaux, the National Magistrates School (ENM), Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux and most Bordeaux universities.

The Université de Bordeaux was selected by the French government to become an IDEX campus, a campus lauréat des initiatives d'excellence, intended to be the top-funded campuses in France with the aim of competing with the best American universities.[7]

BEM students could complete a joint degree with either an international partner university (see list before) or with Bordeaux's bar school. They also had the possibility of being awarded the "DSCG", the main French accountancy diploma.
