EDHEC Business School expands opportunities for Indian students

Iterview with The Free Press Journal, EDHEC Business School’s leadership sheds light on their global initiatives and focus on India. In the first part, Professor Emmanuel Métais, Dean of EDHEC Business School, and Richard Perrin, Associate Dean of International Relations, discuss the growing prominence of Indian students at EDHEC, the school's innovative curriculum, and its alignment with global market demands. They highlight key programs that attract Indian students, entrepreneurial opportunities, and the emphasis on international exposure. The conversation delves into how EDHEC is fostering global leaders by addressing challenges like climate change and equipping students to thrive in a competitive world.

FPJ: How significant is India as a student base for EDHEC?

Perrin: Indian students are currently the leading international nationality at EDHEC, surpassing even Chinese students. We have around 900 Indian students among our 10,000-strong student body. This reflects the increasing demand for our programs in India.

FPJ: What steps is EDHEC taking to enhance its presence in India?

Perrin: We're planning to create a legal structure for edX in India. Additionally, we are focusing on four main objectives: recruiting engineering talents, expanding job opportunities in India, strengthening partnerships with Indian institutions. And the fourth objective is entrepreneurship. To believe that entrepreneurship might be the new frontier for international cooperation. As we are exchanging students today for exchange of other programs.

FPJ: Can you tell us more about EDHEC’s entrepreneurial initiatives?
