EDHEC Business School
speciality: Management

Courses are varied and include both theoretical and practical examples.

Professors include many ‘real life’ examples from the business world (like case studies). Students are also given some projects throughout each year.

The school is continuously developing partnerships with other universities all over the world and even offers exclusive international programmes with some of them.

Top companies come to the campus many times each year, with occasional exclusive recruitment sessions. They also participate to a yearly career fair (exclusively for EDHEC students) with over 120 companies.

The student union life is particularly developed. There are numerous unions in many fields.

EDHEC has one of the best career centre teams globally. They have a curriculum based on real-life case studies rather than just books. The Master’s in Management program is a really exciting program since it offers you the opportunity to apply the skills you learn by doing two internships of 6 months each during the gap year. I would certainly recommend this school for someone who’s looking for top-quality education and a totally international experience.

I absolutely love everything about EDHEC, beginning from the pedagogy to the atmosphere it provides to the students (especially international) on campus. The extracurricular activities like sports, associations are very helpful. Also, the career service provided is top-notch. Therefore, I would call it an enriching experience so far.

The university is so great and the opportunities to explore are so much. As long as there is the hunger to learn and explore you can always thrive for more. Since it’s in France it would definitely beneficial if you would know the Native language, else it might be a little hard overall in terms of job search.

As an international student, I applied to EDHEC Business School recently and the process went smoothly and quickly. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to navigate the online application. The user-friendly interface made it simple to upload documents, provide information, and track my progress.

As a first-year BBA student at EDHEC Lille, here’s what I think.
First of all it was great to find a french great business school with an english track.
Integration went really smoothly thanks to the welcoming atmosphere on campus. The teachers are passionate and approachable, which makes the classes exciting and interactive. I particularly appreciate the group projects, which allow us to put into practice what we’re learning.
Knowing that the BBA program in Lille is the best in France is very reassuring for the future.
And I’m convinced by the Lille campus because I didn’t want to live in a metropolis for my studies.
Very satisfied.

I graduated from the BBA program at EDHEC in 2021 and my time there was a mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, the practical experience gained through mandatory internships was invaluable. These opportunities provided real-world experience and helped me build a strong professional network.
The campus facilities are excellent, modern, and well-maintained.
Academically, however, I didn’t really like all the subjects but it was still good.
So in general it was great for me and pushed me in my actual professional career.

First, I was quite hesitant at first about my choice of school because I was accepted into most of the good business schools.
I first decided to join this school for its national ranking but even more for the ranking of the program which is the first in France.
I absolutely do not regret my choice, because I found everything I was looking for without even leaving France.
The first thing that interested me the most after joining the school was the diversity of the students and their mix, something that I look for because since I am on the English track there are a lot of international students.
Concerning the courses there are some which are not at all interesting and others which are incredible but it all depends on tastes and then the advantage is that the courses are not always the same throughout the semester and years.

To begin with, I would like to say that since I joined I have greatly appreciated this school.
My level in English, mainly in addition to certain languages, has evolved considerably on the one hand thanks to our program in which we have hybrid subjects between English and French and then thanks to the students who come from so many different places and with whom Discussions are also like exercises.
I also learned new things about a lot of culture, without even leaving my native country, and speaking of moving, the school offers a lot of opportunities, exchanges which are incredible, but which are on the other hand dependent on our educational level.
For example, I had the chance to do an exchange in Sweden, a country I had never visited and the experience was memorable.
And then, of course, I don’t often dwell on it, but the materials are very good too, very homogeneous and well balanced.

I joined EDHEC as a Grande Ecole student (Masters in Management) in 2021 opting for the gap year to enrich my work experience in Europe.

The EDHEC Alumni network is strong & diverse within Europe, allowing you to get a foot in the door of any industry you desire to enter. Personally, EDHEC alumni enlightened me on interesting professional opportunities that I couldn’t have found scouring through job boards.

Another highlight of the BS is EDHEC Career’s Centre, run by Florence Da Costa. The whole team of the Career Centre is highly engaged in maintaining an active relationship with the students, and have years of experience in helping students find professional opportunities in Europe. I used the help of the EDHEC Career Centre to help tweak my application package when I wasn’t getting any interviews and evaluating the contract for my job offer when I did receive one.

Lastly, I enjoyed the practical focus of courses at EDHEC Business School. Every course had a practical component – be it analyzing a financial statement of a company or building a marketing strategy for a consumer goods giant’s dishwashing tablets. No course is swamped by technical depth irrelevant to professional opportunities. Although you won’t finish a course being a specialist, you will be a very handy generalist. I believe that’s what most companies look for here.
