Programmes

EDHEC offers bachelor, Master in Management, Master of Science, and doctorate degrees in a variety of disciplines including finance, marketing, law and management. The school also has two Masters in Business Administration (MBA) programs, one is full-time and another is a part-time executive MBA. Advanced degrees are taught either wholly English or in a mixture French and English, while the ESPEME bachelor's degree is taught entirely in French.[9]

Bachelors

The ESPEME Bachelor programme is taught on the School’s academic campuses in Lille and Nice. The programme also operates partnerships with 74 universities in 28 countries as well as double-degree agreements with five international universities.

EDHEC Grande Ecole

EDHEC Business School's flagship programme, the Master in Management - Grande Ecole Programme - was completely overhauled in 2010 in order to improve training for high-potential students. It now comprises two cycles - the Bachelor year and the Master cycle - taught on the Nice, Lille, Paris, London or Singapore campuses depending on the year and the track. The Master in Management programme trains managers capable of leading projects and teams in a global environment. It comprises courses in fundamental managerial disciplines as well as providing the opportunity to acquire expertise in a specific field.According to the new programme structure, students choose a main track (the Financial Economics track in Nice, or the Business Management track in Lille) from their second year. Two other specific tracks - (the European Apprenticeship track in Lille and Paris or the Inter-continental track followed on three continents) - are also offered.

Masters of Science

During the second year of the Master cycle, all students in the Financial Economics, Business Management and European Apprenticeship tracks choose a Master of Science (MSc) specialisation. Student holding a 4-year bachelor's degree can apply directly to a MSc without going through the normal cycle.

MBA

Over 25 nationalities are enrolled in this highly international programme designed for managers wishing to move in a new career direction. Taught entirely in English, the intensive 10-month programme includes three residential seminars in London, Singapore and San Francisco. The changes introduced in 2011 included reinforcements to finance and leadership courses and the addition of two new seminars, in London and Silicon Valley. Entrepreneurship is earmarked for consideration in 2013. Techniques to tackle the issues of corporate and managerial ethics and social responsibility now include philosophy courses, one-week sustainable development seminar in South Africa,criminal risks management seminar. Another innovation is the Career SMART programme, inspired by EDHEC’s Talent Identification & Career Development (TI&CD) programme (originally devised for the master- and bachelor-level programmes) and designed to assist MBA students in preparing their career plans.

EDHEC Management Institute

Today the School trains 10,000 managers and senior executives every year via a broad range of programmes, leading to degrees or professional certifications, and customised courses designed to cover the full range of business needs, e.g. Global MBA (Nice), Executive MBA (Lille), Management Development Programme (Lille), Advanced Management Programme (Paris), blended learning courses, customised company courses, executive seminars… Following the takeover of the MIP by EDHEC, the two entities’ executive education activities were consolidated in July 2010. The takeover doubled the size of EDHEC Business School’s executive education activities and strengthened collaboration with large international corporations, which has been further heightened by the development of the executive campuses in Paris, London and Singapore.

PhD (Doctorate)

Following its inauguration on the Nice Campus in September 2008, the EDHEC PhD in Finance is now offered on the executive campuses in London and Singapore.The doctoral programme is attached to the EDHEC-Risk Institute, the School’s financial research centre in Europe (Nice, and London)and Asia (Singapore), and leads to the title of “Philosophiae Doctor in Finance”. The PhD in Finance is taught entirely in English and demands considerable personal commitment and an excellent academic track record. The programme is geared to students with five years of higher-educational experience in economics, finance, management, mathematics, statistics or engineering.

Research

EDHEC Business School is involved in academic research and was recently cited as one of the premier school in France for financial and risk management research.

The EDHEC-Risk and Asset Management (RAM) centre produces hedge funds style indexes, which are similar in purpose to CSFB/Tremont indexes on its website. It publishes a return based style analysis ranking of European mutual funds with Europerformance. The EDHEC-RAM is sponsored by financial organizations such as Euronext, Lyxor AM and Eurex.

EDHEC conducts applied research in the following fields:

Finance: Created in 2001 this centre does research in asset management, most particularly in the organisation and improvement of risk management.

Accounting and financial analysis: Created in 2006, the EDHEC Financial Analysis and Accounting Research Centre works on the choice of discount rate in company valuation and in particular on the integration of systemic accounting risk.

Economics: Since February 2006, EDHEC has had an economics research team focused on public policy and state reform. This team works on four broad themes: financing and reform of the welfare state, labor policies and competition, evaluation of sovereign risk and optimal management of the public debt and European budgetary governance.

Legal: The Legal EDHEC Research Centre has Legal Performance and Company Competitiveness as a subtitle. At the heart of the Centre is the notion of legal performance and its variations.
