University profile
EDHEC Business School is a private French business school recognised by the State, founded in Lille in 1906 and run as a not-for-profit association (loi 1901) classed among private higher-education institutions of general interest. It describes itself as a grande école de commerce focused on business, entrepreneurship, management and innovation, and it holds the triple accreditation of EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA.
The school has five academic campuses, in Lille (Roubaix), Nice, Paris, London and Singapore, plus two campuses dedicated to entrepreneurship: Station F in Paris and the Campus Jean Arnault in Roubaix. The main teaching campuses are Lille, set in a wooded park of more than 10 hectares with about 4,000 students, and Nice, on the Promenade des Anglais, with more than 2,000 students. Paris focuses on executive and online education, London and Singapore on finance research, executive teaching and the PhD in Finance.
Programmes include the EDHEC International BBA (Business Management and Global Business tracks, plus double degrees), the Programme Grande École (Master in Management), Masters of Science in Finance and in Business Management, the Global MBA, Executive MBA, the PhD in Finance, executive education and fully online degrees through EDHEC Online. Teaching and research are organised in five departments: Accounting, Management Control and Law; Economics, Finance and Data Science; Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Operations; Management and Human Sciences; and Marketing.
The school reports 9,400 students, 35 per cent of them international from 110 nationalities, 190 professors and researchers, and more than 60,000 alumni in 140 countries. Every Bachelor's and Master's student must complete at least one semester abroad, through a study period at one of more than 300 partner institutions, work experience outside France, or a Global Impact Project.
Student life centres on about 90 associations on the Lille campus, among them the Course Croisière EDHEC sailing event begun in 1968, sports facilities of over 3,200 m2 at Lille, an on-campus residence of 300 places at Lille for which international students have priority, and the EDHEC Entrepreneurs incubator. Its diplomas are accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education: the International BBA carries a Bac+4 visa and the grade of Licence, and the Programme Grande École and the MSc programmes carry a Bac+5 visa and the grade of Master.
EDHEC sets its own tuition. For the International BBA, fees are 15,900 EUR per year for the Business Management track and 24,900 EUR per year for Global Business (rate for the 2027 intake, for the whole course paid in one instalment, before scholarships); the Digital Engineering and Management double degree is 16,200 EUR per year (2026 intake). A deposit of 5,000 EUR is due at pre-registration; the balance is paid in one instalment before mid-July or in 44 monthly instalments with 2 per cent management fees.
