What is the GETT programme? | EDHEC Business School
Technology is changing our everyday lives. It's almost changing the way we are as human beings.
Okay, think about the GPS or Google map, it really hurts your capacity to look at yourself without a smartphone in a city. So it's even changing us as human beings.
GETT. Ludovic Cailluet. Programme Director. Professor in Strategy & Business History. EDHEC Business School.
GETT stands for Global Economic Transformation and Technology. Transformation is the important word. It's about change. Understanding change, foreseeing through weak signals what might be the big thing of tomorrow. So that is usually done through a good understanding of technology, and the last term of the GETT acronym.
That's why the last "T" stands for technology.
The GETT programme is designed for pioneers. First because it's a journey. It's a journey that starts on one continent, in France, in Paris. And then carries on, the students will be in Seoul, in Korea, in Asia. And then in the U.S,. at UC Berkeley Haas, in California. And what they get from that first stop, is the good foundations in Management Studies. So they will learn about strategic management, they will learn about finance, they will learn about financial statement analysis. They will learn about marketing. So they need foundations. They will get foundations, but these foundations will be delivered with case studies and actual examples from innovative corporations, technology cases, conferences by practitioners... so on the one side a very strong academic background plus practical insights.
This district, which used to be the financial insurance district, has now moved to be a tech environment with many startups. Within that very building where we are today, which is the school campus in Paris, but also in the very close neighbourhoods. There are some challenges in being a professor or a programme director, and one of the challenges is to convince the student of the usefulness of some of the things we are teaching. And they don't always realise that theory is very practical, I mean there are a lot of things to be taken from theory. They are very attracted to conferences by practitioners, they want these real life examples. They are very important and we provide them with them, but we also have to teach them things that are less immediate. Things that will last. Methodologies, techniques, so very often in my classes I tell the students "I don't really care about the answers, I'm caring about the way you convince me that you are bringing the good solution."
This international experience will change you, it will open your mind, it will push you out of your comfort zone, but moreover it will help you understand the global business transformation.

Make an Impact. EDHEC logo
I think one of the biggest challenge for any society or any company, is this protectionism that a lot of country are going for in that path. Nationalism, protecting within one's border. This is kind of discouraging for trade, interflow of ideas. I think that's something to be concerned about.
Business, technology, these are borderless concepts. GETT programme is the antithesis of this close-mindedness. Look, you're bringing a bunch of international students, having them through the training in three different countries. Expose them to different contexts, a different way of doing business. Open their mind, open their horizon, install in them the value and importance of this global trade, of this global concept and global mindfulness. That I think, if nothing else, this will stay with them, the experience and the knowledge they gain. That will allowed them to be adaptive no matter where they go. And that going forward, that will allow you to be a better manager, a better global citizen.
if you look at the global problem, that we currently face as a society... There is no way to get around it, except through technology. Going forward, there's a new technology that will help us address a lot of these issues. Whether we talk about global climate change, hunger or limited resources... without technology we cannot solve these problems.
Every framework that I teach in class, every definition, every concept... Most of the time within three month of walking out of this classroom, you won't remember a thing. So my intention in the classroom is not to teach them memory. I always tell them "it is more important for you to think. If you're able to develop a thinking skill, a strategy to approach problem, those tend to be more long-lasting. That even though you don't remember the framework, that strategy will stay with you." At some level you can look at your students and say "well, somebody place their faith in us. To train them, to work with them." So for me, seeing how well my students develop over the years, is very meaningful. The biggest joy I get is, when they return to see me after a couple years. It seemed that their career has taken off. They're successful and it's rewarding to say that, you know, I have a very small part to play in that. I ask my students to be open-minded, be flexible, don't be trapped in a particular mindset. You're in Korea, this is not your country, but explore. See how the cultural differences can apply to your own work. See what you bring to the table, and what contribution can you make into a foreign society.
Three continents is more than two, which is more than one. But at the end of the day, is a diversity of experience that you have. Every business, especially senior leadership, need to have a diverse global experience. You have that built-in right in this programme.
Experience the Silicon Valley mindset - GETT Programme | EDHEC Business School
[Music]
Berkeley is in the Bay Area and is such an exciting place to be right now, this is where all the companies that you read about or maybe use on a daily basis, are headquartered. And I think if we go back to the core of what makes Silicon Valley so special, it's our relationship with failure.
Whereas in many places in the world, we're thinking about how we can minimise risk? How can we make sure we take the safe path?
In the Silicon Valley Bay Area, not only do we encourage people to take risks, we actually reward them to take risks.
Alek Budak. Director, BHGAP & Social Entrepreneur. Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
One of the first things that students tell as they arrive at Berkeley for the GETT programme is, this is an amazing place to try something and see what happens. So we love people who maybe come with a background in finance, and they've always thought about "hey maybe I have this startup idea" this is an amazing place to try it, to tap into the resources of UC Berkeley. Tap into the expertise of their faculty and give it a shot. It doesn't work out, that's fine. But what an amazing place to try.
I would describe my teaching style as very collaborative and experiential. The things that I'm teaching aren't things you just learn about in a textbook, when we talk about creativity or courage or humility. One thing I'm very proud about with Berkeley Haas, is that we define ourselves and stand out from other business schools based on our culture. We have four defining leadership principles, and we lead with these and everything that we do. One of these values is beyond yourself. So for the moment students set foot on campus they get a feeling that this business school isn't your traditional business school, it's not just about profit maximisation. One of the values of the school is to humbly serve others, to make a positive impact on others.
For me, the future of business is one that's purpose driven and responsibility-focused. As more and more people of our generation are stepping into the workforce, we're looking for more out of our jobs and out of the society that we're gonna lead, we want to be serving others and making a positive impact and I see more and more leaders here at Berkley Haas and get who want that in their careers. At the same time, we're seeing businesses have more and more of a responsibility to serve everyone in society, not just the key stakeholders. And in Berkeley Haas is at the forefront of creating these leaders, who see business as playing a role in shaping and helping move society forward.
And so from growing up here, in the Silicon Valley Bay Area to my experience working and serving in India, I bring all of that - my passion of creating more social entrepreneurs and more changemakers here at UC Berkeley. We can't know exactly what the future will bring, whether that's blockchain, artificial intelligence or some new technology that hasn't even been invented yet. So our goal isn't just to train students on what's next in the next couple of years, but to train them for their entire career to be the leaders and innovators who question the status quo. Who are ready and able to bring together different disciplines, to think about what that future is, and not just think about it but be people who create the future.
Today is a day of celebration.
This is the graduation of the two first classes of student of the GETT programme that's a very important day a very important day for the students first a very important day for the director too it's the end of the beginning of the program we graduate the first court ever of what was an emerging program I'm proud regarding them as a person because they have developed we get young adults at the beginning of the mastering management program we have today young professionals they are accomplished professionally of course they are accomplished academically but moreover we see them transforming over three years of their stay at a business school if i had a student in front of me right now I would first tell them that i am very happy to see them again i really have an attachment to the student population and i really love to to keep that relationship years after years with generations of students i have been teaching for instance the uniqueness of the program appeals even more clearly than at the beginning it's really a program for pioneers it's really a program for people who are brave bold who Ire interested in discovering things there's a uniqueness of the experience in three countries for sure three continents there's the uniqueness of different academic traditions but moreover there's the uniqueness of a group of students that have incredible ideas and projects and are ready and happy to take on incredible challenges on this very special day i wish for the students to continue being learners to grow, to develop as human beings and as professionals to defend promote the values of the school and have a positive impact on future generations

Graduates Talks
They travelled the world through this Global Master in Management - GETT programme and they are sharing with you their experience.
So I'm Jeremie Mou Chin Leung, I come from French Polynesia, Tahiti.
And I'm a GETT master's student at EDHEC Business School. When you look at each component of the GETT programme, the first thing is global.
So "global", because of the international dimension. that I was looking for, since I come from French Polynesia. So I wanted to travel around the world. There's "global" in the way that you will get knowledge from every industry, that are affected by technology right now. And then you have "economic transformation".
So right now, we're literally in a world in a perpetual movement, in a dynamic which is very difficult to apprehend and to understand. And technology, just because I'm kind of a geek actually, I learned coding all by myself two years ago. So collectively, the GETT acronym was a perfect match for me. There is no end you know, and I think this totally corresponds to me because I come from French Polynesia and I am very curious. Because it's a small island, lost in the middle of nowhere. And I had to check on the internet, to find knowledge to improve as a person, and to know a lot of things over the world. So yeah, technology I think really match my personality and that's why I chose the GETT programme.
Paris is one of the best city to study, because it's the capital of France. So the fact that EDHEC has a campus in Paris, is a real opportunity. The location is perfect, as we're near to the Silicon Sentier, which is the equivalent of the Silicon Valley.
I had a chance to do my summer internship in Sao Paulo, in Brazil, in a crypto FinTech from San Francisco. And they used the blockchain to provide a solution for international payments. So this was my last experience in a technology industry, but I also expect from the GETT programme to gain these business abilities. And then I wish, I would create a combination of these two aspects, so the business part and the coding part. And I think this common language, would be very valuable to the recruiters, and I will be able to tell them "okay I'm the right guy for this position".
I just feel really privileged to be a GETT student, because I know that I will have a double degree. I will spend a year in Berkeley. I will visit three continents. I am in a small class and I will create strong ties with my classmates so I think this is the most enjoyable thing about the GETT programme.
My name is Marie.
I've always been interested in technology but I've always had a major interest for fashion. I've been wishing to work for the luxury industry for many years now, and upon many encounters, exhibitions, readings... I have come to realise that the fashion industry, like any industry, is facing a major reshaping due to digital transformation. And this is why I chose the GETT programme. This industry will lead new talents and will need new people, to think about the long term, to think about how to preserve the authenticity of their brands, while being connected. We can see that thanks to Big Data, thanks to AI, we can propose a more customised service. And if we want to preserve this industry, we have to use what we have within our reach which is technology. Starting off the GETT programme in Paris, is really a thrilling experience because the campus is relocated at the heart of Paris. So we are literally one minute by walk from the Opera, we are five minutes walk from Place Vendome, ten minutes walk from le Louvre, from la Comedie Francaise... So you really are immersed in that Parisian lifestyle. I'm quite fond of English poetry and there's one poet I really adore, who's Wordsworth. And he has a very short poem and it starts with a simple sentence, that really defines the person I'd like to be: "she dwelt among the Untrodden ways".
I think being innovative, being creative even for an old industry like the fashion industry, or the luxury industry, is important. What's surprising is that the GETT programme really gives you the keys in order to understand basically how our economic life works now. Which is quite something actually, it's a very modern programme, so you don't have all content about old theories. It's connecting to now, to the present, and I think this is something we really need to value and promote, because it helps us really become great actors of the future economic life.
It will not only be three years of studying and reading books, I think it will be three years of making sense of what I want to do with my life.
I'm currently enrolled in the GETT programme, which is jointly offered by EDHEC Business School, Sungkyunkwan Graduate School of Business and University of California, Berkeley.
First of all, I was always interested in working at the intersection of emerging technology and business. And this programme is designed in a way, where we get exposed to a lot of emerging tech. Then again, I was deeply inspired by my mentor who had actually worked in 108 countries. And I think the design of this programme is such, that it could unlock these markets for me as well in the future.
One great thing about the GETT programme, that I think lacks in other international master's programmes, is that I am not bound to one place or one location or even to a campus. For example during my semester in Paris, I believed that the whole city was my campus. And now, here I am at Sungkyunkwan, which is a very beautiful ultra-modern campus. The other thing is, that the international dimension that I get from my education. I am going to be exposed to three different cultures, three different ways of life and working styles. Four months ago, I was getting used to the French culture and the way of life. I was eating baguettes with butter in the mornings. And now I've switched it up with kimchi and rice. That's something that I would never have expected from myself a year ago, and the challenges that I've faced on a daily basis have radically changed who I am as a person. When you live abroad, you start trusting your instincts more. You start making decisions that have repercussions, and you start learning how to live with these decisions every day. And that's something that I've seen, has made me grow as a person quite a lot.
So far we've had some incredibly eye-opening courses. For instance, just today, we had a course on crypt economics and blockchain technology. And I learned that Korea, and especially Seoul, is literally the Silicon Valley when it comes to blockchain.
Well a couple of years ago, I couldn't have pointed out Seoul on a map but now that I'm here, I realised that this city is literally at the forefront of cutting-edge technology. For example, I've been here for months and I haven't had to buy a SIM card, because there's Wi-Fi everywhere. While there are thousands of programmes one can choose from, while looking for an international master's programme, especially in business... I was looking for something off the beaten track, something radically new, and something radically different that would set myself apart five years, ten years down the line. And that's why I chose the GETT programme.
So I'm Asmaa Taki, I'm from Morocco Casablanca and currently, I'm in the second year of the GETT programme. I'm currently with the first cohort of the Global Economic Transformation and Technology programme in Berkeley.
By having this opportunity to be in the B area, we are in touch with innovative companies and startups. So through this programme, we have discovered innovation is something very specific and it appears on different levels from the business model innovation to process innovation and try to lay the product innovation.
Here today in Berkeley, what I notice the most, is that they encourage you every time in every situation and I think this is amazing.
GETT is a long-term project. In like 8 to 10 years, I want to take over the family business... And making it to EDHEC, to the GETT programme, is a way to have a comprehensive knowledge of businesses that are applied to the innovation areas.
Innovation in the Bay Area is about looking at the large industries that haven't changed that much in the past and replacing it with new technologies that serve exactly the same need with a more efficient way. And I think this is the point too, that interests me the most in this programme. To try to change the industry of my father's company in Morocco, which operates in electricity and automation. And I think this is an industry, that hasn't changed that much in the past. With this programme, I had the opportunity to witness innovation in Asia and America and try to have this big picture of innovation and bring it back to Morocco.
[Speaker: Utkarsh Arora. GETT Graduate]
Hi I'm Utkarsh and I'm Indian.
[Speaker: Chloé Potier. GETT Graduate]
Hi I'm Chloe and I'm French
[Speaker: Asmaa Taki. GETT Graduate]
Hi I'm Asmaa and I'm Moroccan.
Asmaa:
So my first day attending get was my second year at a deck and I remember like meeting 40 people I haven't especially met before at EDHEC, and I was like "okay so we're gonna start an experience for three years all together so I better know them well, because we are going to share a lot".
Utkarsh:
My first day at the GETT programme was pretty interesting. I think I woke up at seven and spent one hour getting lost in the Parisian metro, but then when I finally found the campus... my god it was impressive! Meeting all my colleagues, the professors... just taking note of what the programme would look like, was so exciting and I think it's one of the days that i won't really forget for a long time to come.
Chloé:
The biggest takeaway, I remember from the programme, is the capacity to adapt to all the situations because with this programme we went to Seoul, and we did other things like an entrepreneurship project. So yes, I think it's my biggest takeaway.
Utkarsh:
For me, my biggest takeaway from the programme would be, it completely changed my outlook towards how I view life and business especially. Now I feel like the world is my oyster. I'm so used to dealing with people from different countries and culture, it just seems like it comes naturally to me. This is something I couldn't really imagine before joining the programme. So that's a really big thing that happened in my life over the last three years.
Asmaa:
The main takeaways from this programme is basically also today, because it's the day where i'll be graduating, and of course it's the end of the whole cycle. So I'm so happy to be here today.
Chloé:
I think what is unique with this programme is the open-mindedness it offers. We met many people from different countries so it offers us an open-mindedness that I think is really unique in a business track.
Asmaa:
With GETT we were able to discover ourselves and decide in what we want to evolve and where we want to go and the programme was definitely made to help us grow in either finance, marketing, entrepreneurial...
Utkarsh:
What's so unique about the GETT programme, is that it focuses really on tech and entrepreneurship in an international environment. This morning I found myself pitching to a Silicon Valley incubator a project based around NFTs and the Metaverse, so coming from there, I realised that this is something that we don't find anywhere else in other master's programmes, and it's really helped me to find my niche in my career.
Asmaa:
Being part of the first cohort, on my side, it was a bit of a risk to take as I was the first one, first cohort, and the programme was launched three or four months before me joining it, so I was like "i don't have any graduate students from this programme, I don't know what are the outputs of this programme", but still, on paper, it was very appealing with all the opportunities we had in Seoul, in Berkeley, in Lille as well... It was a challenge, it was a risk but I took it and I don't regret it at all.
Chloé:
The GETT programme, I think, is a big challenge but you have to take it.

Helping you settle in France
The International Students Office – a team you can trust
Moving to a foreign country can be daunting, so it’s reassuring to know that the International Students Office (ISO) is there to help. The ISO welcomes more than 3,000 international students annually, helping them to settle in France and lending them support in daily life. It organises orientation events and multicultural seminars to welcome them to the EDHEC campuses in Lille and Nice. The team guides students through administrative procedures before their arrival and during their stay and answers any questions they may have about French systems (medical and home insurance, banking, resident permits, etc.).
Finding you a home from home
Once officially enrolled, we will help you to find suitable accommodation, either in an EDHEC residence or privately owned accommodation. The International Students Office is on hand to provide you with a list of apartments, halls of residence and other types of housing that fit your criteria. You can even ‘visit’ them virtually on our new Housing website. Our team will do everything they can to make arrangements with the owner and secure your booking. They can also arrange to pick you up from the airport on your arrival (where possible) and take you directly to your new home. The International Students Office also organises orientation events and integration seminars to welcome international students to the EDHEC campuses.
Untangling the red tape
EU nationals
European Union students can live and study in France as long as they have a national ID card. No passport or visa are required.
Non-EU nationals
Before arriving in France, students from outside the European Union must obtain a student visa from the French embassy in their country of origin or residence. Non-EU students must also have a valid passport from their country of origin.
One of the requirements for most visa applications is proof of accommodation in France. EDHEC's International Office is familiar with the visa formalities for most countries and will provide you with the necessary paperwork to complete. If you are concerned about your visa application, you can contact the International Office, provided you have already checked the relevant pages in the Welcome Guide and contacted your local embassy.

International Student Office | EDHEC Business School
[Music] Title: “International Student Office”
I just got accepted at EDHEC business school. Now I need to organise my arrival and find
accommodation. Luckily the international students office helped me all along this process.
All good, I'm ready. It is now time to reach France. On arrival, three key moments are organised to help me settle in: the welcome session, the services fair and the integration day.
I get a lot of practical information on different topics such as health insurance, public transportation, life in the city, and so on.
I met representatives from different EDHEC departments and partners during the service fair.
I participate in group activities, meet new friends and discover the campus.
Throughout the year, I visit ISO whenever I need assistance in my daily life in France.
Time flies, my experience at EDHEC is coming to an end. The international student office has been of great support before and during my stay, and it will remain available even after my departure.
Thank you to the International Students Office - Camilla Garcia Biel
[Music] A big “Thank you” to the International Students Office.
Camilla Garcia Biel. MiM Business Management student. Class of 2022.
So my name is Camila Garcia Biel. I'm a 26 year old international student from Peru, I'm doing the MiM track which is a three-year-long programme. The first year, you start with basic courses, with administrative courses. Then there is a year for professional immersion, and then I specialised in strategic finance and commercial intelligence. The most important thing is that out of all the business schools in France, EDHEC was the only one to come to Lima and actually meet the prospective students. After that I was completely sold. As soon as I knew that I was gonna come here, I was enrolled et cetera.
The first contact you have is with the international student office and they absolutely help you with everything. Starting with the visa process, with the housing process... They also help with anything you really need.
So arriving in France, what surprised me, for very good like very positive, was the international environment that I experienced living in the residence and coming to school. I was immediately in contact with people from different countries that I had never seen. And what scared me a little bit, was that the French level that i had before coming and the French level needed to be here. The gap was obvious, but people, especially in Lille, were very nice when I was trying to communicate with them. Even if i was using some English words or even some Spanish words, they were really nice.
The reason why I chose France as my home, is that it's the perfect balance from a latino point of view of the latin culture and the european culture. In the daylight you can see the difference and in the nightlife, you can see the similarities. Differences and similarities that, at the end, really helped me develop myself as a person. And I think that's something that every international goes through and learns from. My first memory at EDHEC, it's the full day as i call it. It's the first day that we gather in the main hall and then we have outdoor activities, and then we eat together, they introduce us to the programme, they introduce us to the school. Being able to experience the location and the classes and the buildings, which are amazing, it's like a reality shock but a very positive one.
So if i had the all the amazing team from the ISO or the international student office members in front of me, the first thing that i would say would be definitely "thank you"!
Thank you, and thank you... Thank you for your help, thank you for your patience, thank you for your time. They really make the difference in the transition. The job that they're doing in that assistance, it's beyond what I've heard from other friends from other schools, from even other countries. For example, during the pandemic, they were very active and they helped us. And they sent us links for call centres, in case you needed to talk to someone, like psychological call centres and nutritionists, like they really take care of us in a very global aspect. I would just say thank you many times. The international office helps us because for example, they organise different cultural nights. The school has a lot of associations and many of them work with international students, for example, there's one called "Open Up" and they organise trips for international students. There are many ways to feel not or not feel homesick, and at the end of the course, it's a very amazing place to make amazing friends and that also helps.

Scholarships
How to finance your Master’s?
As part of its strategic plan to "Impact Future Generations", EDHEC has committed to enabling talented students to pursue their studies through a diverse and transparent scholarship scheme. The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs also offers a large number of grants and scholarships, and there are numerous bodies worldwide supporting the study of international students wishing to embark on a master’s programme. Below is a comprehensive overview of the scholarships, grants and loans available.
EDHEC Business School's comprehensive scholarship scheme aimed at MIM & MSC candidates
So my name is Michelle Sisto I am the associate Dean for graduate studies at EDHEC Business School. So within that perimeter, it englobes the PhD programme, our
programme Grande Ecole, Master in Management and all of our specialised MSc programmes.
[Music] “What types of scholarships and financial aid does EDHEC offer to international students?”
Regarding scholarships available for international students, and even for our French students, EDHEC has a strong belief in making education possible for students coming from diverse horizons, backgrounds, and have both the economic levels and what they studied previously, regional differences, and so we've put in place a multitude of opportunities for scholarships to encourage that diversity in our classrooms. We have some scholarships that are academic merit-based, aiming for excellence in the profile of students. We have some scholarships that are more oriented for particular regional areas, and we have some scholarships that are also oriented towards diversity. For example, women in finance and women in data science, where we see that we still don't have a sufficient number of women in those areas in the profession, and also in the programmes. And then we also have scholarships
that can be requested, when students are actually in the programme, should there be an instance where somebody's situation changes dramatically while they're already a student here. We have a special commission that looks at changes in the situation for exceptional scholarships.
[Music] “What is a merit-based scholarship and what are the selection criteria?”
So our merit-based scholarships are really based on the profile of our candidates. What we're looking at, when students apply to our programme Grande Ecole and to our MSc programmes, we're looking at their full profile. So their academic background, how they perform in their previous academic studies… We're looking at things like their score on GMAT or the TAGE MAGE or the CAT exam, some kind of aptitude test. We're also looking at the type of school that they went to previously, but that's not the major issue.
It's really where they were. Did they perform really well? And as EDHEC academic excellence is a key driving force for education, we want to offer scholarships to encourage those types of profiles to come to EDHEC. Because we know they have choices amongst diverse, very strong schools, and our aim is to bring the very brightest and the best to EDHEC.
[Music] “How does EDHEC approach need-based scholarships for international students?
For need-based scholarships, we have one system for our French students, and then for international students, we're looking at the profiles of our students. What we will look at
is, what is their overall situation, what is their profile and how can we make an offer to them that would render their participation and education in EDHEC more feasible for them.
[Music] “Describe EDHEC’s new approach to scholarships”
As I mentioned earlier EDHEC really believes in bringing diverse and excellent profiles to our school, and so our approach in terms of scholarships is evermore going in the direction of diversity and inclusion. So we're currently offering, as I mentioned, a scholarship for women in data science and in finance. We also have scholarships that are called the “make and impact” scholarship, and “make an impact” is our tagline at EDHEC. Our strategic plan is really EDHEC for future generations, and so we're looking for this “make an impact” scholarship, for students who have shown in the past that they're willing to engage in their local communities and environmental projects. With coming to EDHEC, the education that they're going to receive here, is going to propel them forward to the next step where they'll make an impact, a further impact, and so what we do for that scholarship is, we ask students to apply with an essay and tell us something about what they've done in the past and where they wish to go. And so for those students, we have a special scholarship. We're also looking to increase now, in line with our strategic plan, for greater diversity and inclusion on socioeconomic as well as cultural, regional, gender differences, and expand our portfolio of scholarships. So we're working on offering more scholarships for high potential women, specific scholarships for certain regions. In terms of regional scholarships we already have some for example: with the French embassy in India we have a special scholarship that pays up to 15 percent of students tuition fees, likewise in Russia with a scholarship that's a hundred percent for a student applying for an MSc with an excellent profile. We work with Campus France. We also have Eiffel scholarships. In Colombia for example, we work with local players like ColFuturo and there's lots of information on the website so anyone who's wishing to apply to EDHEC should definitely look at the “financing your studies” part and reach out to our admissions team to get more information as to what financing is available from their particular region. As we move forward, we will continue to expand this offer both in terms of the number of scholarships and in terms of the amount.
Currently EDHEC issues about 5 million euros in scholarships every year across our graduate studies. About a quarter of all of our students do receive some type of financial aid, and part of our plan moving forward is to expand that to an even higher percentage of students. And for some of our students, to go all the way up to 75% of tuition fees that would be covered for those who are the most in need, notably students coming from particular backgrounds or potentially zones of conflict, or refugees and, or recent immigrants from areas that have been touched negatively by world events.
[Music] “Why is diversity important to EDHEC? How does it relate to your mission to make an impact?”
Well thank you for that question, I think that you know we're in the age that we're living in right now, we've seen that diversity and inclusion is a global issue. We have some researchers within our school, who study the positive impact of diversity and inclusion on the performance of companies. But we believe that diversity and inclusion is essential, to bring a diversity of perspectives to solving some of the major societal stakes that we're facing right now, the challenges that we're facing. So what do we mean by that? Now when we talk about women in finance and women in data science, with the algorithms that are currently directing quite a bit of our lives right now. If the data that goes into those algorithms or the people who are writing those algorithms are not representative of the society at large, then we may end
up with situations where they're detrimental to certain aspects of certain groups in society.
Algorithms that scan CVs, algorithms that give us suggestions for what we should be reading or watching or eating even. So I think that diversity is necessary to have a more equitable society. Things like climate change, bringing together people who come from diverse backgrounds around the world, seeing how its impacts differ around the world and how we can globally work together to find solutions. Of course the strongest element recently is the global pandemic, and we can see that something like this can only be solved by global collaboration.
So bringing together people from all over the world and these diverse perspectives, what we hope to do is to encourage our students to grow into leaders with a global perspective, in order to collaboratively solve some of the big problems that we're facing now.
[Music]
“Are your scholarships fee waivers only or do you also offer financial support for travel, housing, and other study expenses?”
Currently EDHEC’s scholarships focus on the tuition fees, although some of the people that we partner with do offer stipends for living, for example the Eiffel scholarship. To be eligible for the Eiffel scholarship, students need to apply and be admitted before early December but that is a scholarship that is within the French ministry and that covers about 1200 euros a month stipend for students in order to cover living expenses, rent…and there are some scholarships that also look at fees for the flights to and from France. So it varies but the bulk of our scholarships are really just focused on the tuition fees.
[Music] “Any scholarship application tips you’d like to offer?”
My first tip would be to make a request. Don't hesitate to make a request. As they often say: if you don't ask, you certainly don't receive. So not to be shy in reaching out and aiming for one of our scholarships. I think another tip would be, for the scholarships that require essays, to take the time to build an essay that really responds to the question that's asked for the particular scholarship, and make it quite personal. What we want to do, when we're evaluating these essays, is get to know the person behind that essay. What's their real desire to make an impact for example, if it's in line with the sustainable development goals, and convince us
that you're somebody who would bring your expertise, your enthusiasm, your drive, and your values to our community, here at EDHEC. And lastly, I would say, be absolutely authentic in what you say and what you write.
[Music] “Is there anything else you’d like to share?”
So I'd just like to add, that you know, beyond the direct scholarships that we've talked about here, at EDHEC there's an institution-wide number of initiatives in order to offer our education and render education more affordable to a wide group of candidates. For example, in our undergraduate programmes, there are students working on a programme that's called “Cordée de la réussite”, where they're going into local high schools, that tend to have and be in areas, that are considered considered disadvantaged or that don't have as high proportion
that go into higher education, to encourage those students to believe that they can access and succeed in higher education. And then we offer up to 75 percent of fees for students who come through that path. In addition, over the last year, I think one area that we're very happy with and grateful for, is during the pandemic we made a call out to all of our alumni and to some of our corporate partners to request additional funding for direct additional scholarships to students. Unfortunately, we had a number of students over time whose family situations changed. Either their family business had a problem or that sadly there was some severe illness or even death in the family. So we wanted to make sure that those difficult events didn't also have an impact on our students' ability to continue with their education. And our alumni really stood up to the call and we raised close to a half a million euros for direct additional aid to our students. So I think there's a very strong sense of community at EDHEC,
and we hope that the students for whom we can make this extra offer available, will continue to be part of that community as they move on to their careers afterwards, and be part of a virtuous cycle of ongoing financing of studies for everyone.
