L’ouverture internationale à l’EDHEC
Avec une stratégie fondée sur des partenariats académiques solides, une mobilité diversifiée et une reconnaissance mondiale, l’EDHEC propose à ses étudiants des expériences internationales enrichissantes, valorisant l’ouverture à l’altérité, des méthodes pédagogiques différentes, la complexité du monde et la diversité culturelle.
L’international à l’EDHEC : une immersion au cœur de la diversité culturelle
L’EDHEC Business School s’appuie sur un réseau de plus de 300 partenariats avec des institutions académiques de renom à travers le monde. Ces collaborations permettent aux étudiants de vivre des expériences d’apprentissage immersives, combinant exploration culturelle et excellence académique. Grâce à ces opportunités, ils développent des compétences essentielles : autonomie, compréhension des enjeux globaux et ouverture à la complexité des sociétés modernes.
Avec près de 35 % d’étudiants internationaux représentant 34 nationalités, l’EDHEC se distingue par un environnement académique profondément multiculturel. Cette diversité, véritable catalyseur d’échanges intellectuels, élargit les horizons, nourrit la réflexion critique et forge des leaders éclairés, aptes à évoluer avec agilité et discernement dans la complexité du monde actuel.
At EDHEC Business School, all our students must complete at least one semester abroad to earn a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
There are several ways to fulfill this requirement: a study period abroad, a work experience outside France, or a Global Impact Project.
This strategy is built on strong partnerships, a global presence, and a commitment to providing students with transformative international experiences.
Rather than establishing academic campuses abroad, we focus on building leading partnerships with universities worldwide.
We also offer itinerant programs such as the Global Master in Management, the GETT Programme, and the Global BBA Programme.
This approach allows our students to immerse themselves in different cultures and pedagogical methods at partner institutions, enhancing their maturity, cross-cultural skills, autonomy, and understanding of global issues.
Our international strategy also includes key internal services.
For example, our International Student Office supports all international students at EDHEC.
For BBA and Master's students, the Student Abroad Office manages the selection and placement of students for exchanges and double degrees, both incoming and outgoing.
Finally, the International Development Service oversees the development of new partnerships and Global Impact Projects and manages EDHEC's country managers in San Francisco, Boston, London, Singapore, Mumbai, and Shanghai.
EDHEC is deeply committed to expanding its programs worldwide, including BBA, Master's, full-time MBA, PhD in Finance, Executive Education, and Summer Programs.
This commitment extends to recruiting global talents and creating international career opportunities for our graduates.
By collaborating with global enterprises in France and abroad, our faculty plays a crucial role in EDHEC’s international reputation through research publications, key conferences, and engagement with the scientific community, business sectors, and society at large.
The EDHEC Risk Institute, for instance, has been a prominent player in international finance and asset management for over 15 years.
EDHEC already stands out in its international strategy for its immersive and transformative objectives, prestigious global partnerships, and strategic international impact.
I am also a strong advocate for developing new international and innovative collaborations in entrepreneurship, where incubators worldwide can exchange best practices, expertise, and resources for start-ups.
For example, we have launched Innova Europe in partnership with ESMT in Berlin and Polimi in Milan, Italy.
This competition supports start-ups with a positive impact, and we have also established strategic relationships with Skydeck at UC Berkeley, a leading incubator in California.
Entrepreneurship could be the next frontier for innovative international cooperation between top business schools.
