EDHEC Business School, France

With campuses in France, London and Singapore, EDHEC is consistently ranked among the Top 20 B-schools worldwide

 

WITH CAMPUSES IN LILLE, NICE AND Paris (France), and two campuses in Lon-don and Singapore, the EDHEC (Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales) Business School is consistently ranked among the world’s Top 20 business management education institutions. The Londonbased Financial Times ranks EDHEC #1 worldwide for its Masters in finance degree programme while The Economist ranks it #3 for MBA programmes in France.

Founded in 1906 by entrepreneurs from northern France, EDHEC began modestly as the business studies department of the Ecole Des Hautes Etudes Industrielles School in Lille. In 1921, it went solo as the EDHEC Business School. Currently the privately managed B-school (annual budget: €121.5 million or Rs.917 crore) offers undergraduate, graduate and executive business management study programmes to 7,000 students including 120 from India. While its Lille and Nice campuses offer Masters programmes in business management and financial economics, the campuses in Paris, London and Singapore mostly offer executive education programmes.

“The number of Indian students admitted into EDHEC has increased 400 percent in the past four years. All our two-year Masters programmes are taught entirely in English and internships are mandatory. We also have partnership agreements with over 150 universities worldwide. The high quality of our programmes, international exposure and hands-on industry experience equip students with an unparralled business management education,” says Nilesh Gaikwad, country manager (India) of EDHEC.
