About the EDHEC Business School

EDHEC's "raison d'être" is to place business at the service of the common good. It's a project that the school is carrying out today thanks to "Générations 2050", its 2024-2028 strategic plan, built for future generations. It reflects the school's dedication to accelerating the world’s most important economic, social, and environmental transformations through education and research with impact. EDHEC’s 60K students and alumni – entrepreneurs devoted to reinventing business for the common good – are committed to reaching these goals.

EDHEC’s model – based on research that benefits society, business, and students – is unique and sets it apart from competitors. EDHEC’s campuses are centres of excellence, innovation, foresight and diversity, and are committed to serving future generations in a world undergoing radical change.



EDHEC offers an enriching student experience, combining internationally connected campuses with vibrant student associations to foster a dynamic and supportive environment.

Strategically located near global economic hubs, EDHEC’s campuses provide ideal conditions for personal and academic success. The Nice campus, on the stunning French Riviera, hosts all EDHEC Masters in Finance programmes, the MiM – Data Science & AI for Business track, the Global MBA, PhD in Finance, and executive training programmes. The Lille campus, in a vibrant multicultural city in Northern Europe, is home to all Business Management programmes, welcoming 4,000 students annually (one-third international) and offering state-of-the-art facilities like a digital library and trading room. The Paris campus, ideally situated between the Stock Exchange and Opera House, hosts students from the Global Master in Management – GETT track and apprenticeship programmes.

Beyond academics, EDHEC’s 50+ student associations enrich campus life. From humanitarian initiatives and sports to cultural events and professional services, these associations create opportunities to connect, develop skills, and contribute to impactful projects. Within the online masters, learning is a collaborative journey. Our diverse and vibrant community connects participants with a network of peers, alumni, and industry experts, fostering knowledge exchange and professional growth. Through interactive discussions, group projects, and live sessions, participants gain diverse insights and build lasting connections. This supportive network enriches the experience, placing collaboration and shared expertise at the heart of education.


Admissions Requirements for Online Masters:

  • Academic Qualifications: Minimum three-year bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS).
  • Experience: Professional experience is recommended (academic transcripts required for less than three years’ experience).
  • Project Alignment: Relevant professional project aligned with programme goals.
  • English Proficiency: Professional English level (TOEFL internet-based, TOEIC, IELTS, or Cambridge Test of English).
  • Application Process: Apply directly online to provide information about your profile, professional background, motivation to join the programme.

    Both delivery methods ensure the same level of academic excellence and personalised support. An EDHEC Online Master of Science offers the same high-quality knowledge and skills to their participants as the traditional on-campus MSc. Online programmes use 2 different formats: asynchronous and synchronous learning. Asynchronous classes provide flexibility, allowing students to access course materials and complete assignments at their own pace. Synchronous classes require students to attend virtual sessions at scheduled times, enabling real-time interaction with professors, mentors, coaches, and classmates from anywhere. EDHEC online programs combine both elearning types: synchronous activities with weekly live classes and real-time messaging between participants, professors and coaches, and high-quality asynchronous content by following an approach founded on user experience and gamification. You’ll earn a diploma from EDHEC, Europe’s 7th-ranked business school (FT 2024), with triple accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA), ensuring academic excellence, expert faculty, and strong industry connections.

    Yes. As part of its Generations 2050 strategic plan, EDHEC is committed to supporting talented students through a transparent and diverse scholarship scheme. Recognizing the importance of financial aid in pursuing a Master’s, EDHEC simplify the process by automatically considering all admitted candidates for scholarships for the on-campus Masters. EDHEC Scholarships can cover up to 50% of tuition fees for these programmes. For the Online Masters, Scholarships can cover up to 40% of tuition fees and there is a 20 % Early Birds reduction available on tuition fees.

    The EDHEC Master in Management, ranked 4th worldwide (Financial Times 2024), is a two-year academic programme designed for students seeking to increase their general management skills. Also known as the Grande Ecole Programme, it awards you a double degree: a Master in Management and Master of Science. After the first year of your master’s degree, you can gain a full year’s professional experience or undertake an internship and a six-month exchange at a partner university, before completing the second academic year of your master’s programme. Our Master of Science degrees are specialised programmes targeted at students who wish to acquire new knowledge in a specific field or further strengthen their existing expertise. If you are a student on the Master in Management programme, you can also earn a Master of Science degree in the second year of your programme, when you choose your specialisation.

    Admissions Requirements for On-Campus Masters:
