Core modules are classes that must be taken by all students of the programme.
The primary objective of this course is to help you answer strategic questions important to companies or organisations. What business do we want to be in? How do we compete for resources and create value? How do we organise for and assess performance? You will do this by using analytical tools and concepts. The course largely comprises tutorials, with some lectures; both formats aim to be interactive and value student input. You will work on case studies in relatively small groups and be introduced to each analytical tool and concept in the context of real-world business situations.
This course equips you with a conceptual framework that helps you to understand how businesses generate value and how this value is captured in financial statements. Investors and creditors predominantly look at financial statements, so the course is also highly relevant to the decision-making of managers, consultants, auditors, analysts and regulators.
On completing the course, you should be able to measure wealth creation, the level of investment in working capital and capital expenditure, company financing, leverage and profitability. The course demonstrates how financial statement analysis can reduce uncertainty and increase confidence in business decisions.
The objective of this course is to provide a solid grounding in the principles of corporate finance (capital budgeting, cost of financing projects, capital structure). You will learn to calculate the cash flows of a project and its return, understand the relationship between the risk and returns of financial assets, estimate the cost of equity and the weighted average cost of capital of a firm, and understand the cost and benefits of debt financing relative to equity financing.
The purpose of this course is to give you a fundamental knowledge of marketing. You will learn the role of marketing in a (global) organisation and how to be a responsible and well-informed decision-maker. With marketing often criticised for lacking (numerical) inputs and sometimes even valid and reliable market data, you will aim to create financially viable solutions for corporate partner and course sponsor Procter & Gamble.
On completing this course, you will be equipped to secure and hold any marketing management position.
A company’s human resources are the most powerful form of capital for organisational success. The question, therefore, is how we can implement people-management practices that facilitate individual and organisational effectiveness. This course will provide you with solid, evidence-based and actionable knowledge of human resource (HR) management. You will learn about theoretical concepts and frameworks to help you diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of HR policies and identify ways in which the knowledge gained in the course can be applied in organisations to make them more productive.
Completion of the course will give you a better understanding of some of the essential aspects of working in groups, including team effectiveness, managing team diversity, handling conflict and applying negotiation skills to both national and multicultural teams.
This updated spreadsheet modelling course teaches you how to use Microsoft Excel as both a reporting and modelling tool for solving business problems. It is appropriate for both beginners and experienced users of Microsoft Excel. The course begins with an in-depth tour of the Excel environment and includes many helpful shortcuts and tips for mastering its functions. You will apply this knowledge to creating spreadsheet models, powerful tools for analysing data and making business decisions. The course is set in a fictional bakery, specialising in French pastries. You will use the features of Microsoft Excel to study product costs, determine pricing and track payroll. You will build spreadsheet models to help make informed business decisions.
The REVAS Business Game is a two-day event aimed at teaching you:
- to incorporate the challenges of business development into cross-functional decisions
- to assess the relative importance of strategy, management capabilities, finance and marketing in business dynamics
- to monitor business performance and reflect on your learning process and contribution.
Businesses engage with many different kinds of values that are important to various constituents of society. For example, they can pay dividends, provide work and income, make products and services, consider the environment, avoid child labour and so on. Multiple value creation has (re)gained the explicit attention of practitioners and scholars under the label of corporate social responsibility (CSR).
In this course, you will learn some of the strategic challenges this poses to managers, as well as the opportunities it promises for developing new business models.
This course examines how the principles and techniques of cost and management accounting can help managers monitor and run a business strategy efficiently.
You will learn how to collect, analyse, disseminate and interpret management accounting information to inform decision-making and planning.
The digitalisation of organisational processes have become prevalent and fundamental to success. Based on a blended learning approach, the Management of Information Systems (MIS) course aims to help you understand the extent to which information systems can be mobilised to help pursue organisational business goals and answer key business problems that rely on information systems for solutions.
On completing the course, you will be able to evaluate and manage information technology (IT) projects.
Successful companies need to be able to deliver high-quality products and/or services to meet customer demands in a timely and cost-effective manner. Operations management is the set of processes (planning, organising, directing and controlling resources) that will achieve this objective.
Through practical experience in teamwork, you will acquire skills in designing processes, applying basic quantitative methods, performing process mapping and assessing the performance of processes.
You will learn how the legal environment impacts managerial decision-making. This course is not based on a technical approach to legal issues but looks at how institutions and organisations see the law mattering to their business strategy and operations.
The course addresses the following questions: What is the importance of and what are the barriers to innovation? What are the key steps in an innovation process and what are the tools and techniques for mastering them? How do you manage innovation in the long run? You will develop your innovative senses and abilities by participating in the EDHEC Open Innovation challenge, during which you will work in teams to solve real business cases provided by operational managers from 20-plus companies, such as Decathlon, Carrefour, Ubisoft, L’Oreal, Christian Dior and PwC.
While IQ is the best indicator for educational status, Emotional Intelligence seems to be the best determinant of one’s level of personal achievement and success in most professions (Goleman 2006). This seminar gives you the opportunity to acquire four of the five Goleman skills: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and social skills. The course is also an invitation to a deep understanding and practice of the Science of Personal Development based on the last findings in Positive Psychology.
In alignment with the shift from the former socialist president François Hollande to left-leaning fiscal conservative president Emmanuel Macron, France is ready for a change. We ‘need a strong France with a sense of its own destiny’ (Macron, 2017). To succeed in the French dynamic knowledge-based business environment, individuals need to understand the unique French socio-cultural environment. As a potential future French manager, you will need to understand the French workers’ rights and draw the links between business and political ideals. Hence, the primary objective of the course socio-cultural France is to develop the necessary skills to understand the complexity of French business.
You can choose your electives from a list of courses.
This course aims to:
- Give you an understanding of the notion of interest rates on bonds and associated topics (actuarial rate, duration, etc.)

In recent decades, we have witnessed a shift of economic activity from standalone firms to interfirm alliances as greater competition and faster innovation cycles have made it increasingly difficult for firms to develop new technologies and market their products on their own. Strategic alliances between firms have thus become increasingly important as a source of superior performance and competitive advantage.
This course will teach you how to successfully manage strategic alliances or partnerships at each stage of the alliance process: formation, design, evolution and maturity.
Nearly all large and many medium-sized firms operate in multiple markets, so are implementing some kind of corporate growth strategy. These firms have undergone enormous change over the past 30 years. The merger and acquisition booms of the 1960s and 1980s extended the scope of many existing corporations. New forms of organisation, such as the leveraged buyout partnerships of the 1980s, fuelled debate about the efficacy of corporate hierarchies. More recently, capital market pressures have forced many organisations to reassess their portfolio of businesses, level of overheads and the way they coordinate and control their business activities. You will learn how, in response to these pressures, a variety of new institutional arrangements, such as joint ventures, strategic alliances and virtual firms, have come to prominence.
This course aims to introduce you to the luxury market and its specificities. Throughout the elective, you will go deeper in different subjects concerning brand management like : brand identity, brand positioning, brand equity, communication, distribution, customer experiences and how the luxury market faces new challenges like sustainability.

The concept of gamification has been coined to describe gaming with a business purpose.

Rather, gamification uses game design elements and principles to make everyday tasks more engaging for consumers.
In this course, you will become acquainted with basic gamification principles to accompany a range of psychological principles and techniques. You will then become familiar with relevant tools to help you integrate gamification into the business environment and learn how to engage audiences.

- to deepen your knowledge of the basics of VBA in order to manipulate multiple objects with user-oriented procedures.
Almost all economic and financial decisions take place in a risky or uncertain environment. The course provides a theoretical basis for and some empirical evidence on the way individuals take decisions in such an environment. It is directly related to the growing field of behavioural economics and finance.
You will learn why people can be simultaneously risk-seeking in some contexts and risk-averse in others, how to model optimism and pessimism, and how people perceive risk when no objective probabilities are available. You will learn how a theoretical framework applies to various phenomena, from climate change, prenatal tests and Hyundai’s marketing to the equity market premium, the house money effect, the break-even effect, criminality and the intensity of R&D efforts.
This course will present the elements that will allow you to understand why conspiracy theories are spreading so fast and finding their way inside the mind of everyone (young and old, graduate or not).

This course will also give you tools to use design-thinking methods, with practical applications on innovative case studies. Upon completion of the course, you will understand the environmental, economic and social externalities of a digital world and have insights on solutions and current trends to make the world more sustainable.

Discovering the Apprenticeship Track | EDHEC Business School
[MUSIC] Maria Berrado - Parcours Apprentissage. Morocco.
Quand j'ai passé le concours de l'EDHEC, ça a été très décisif pour moi, parce qu'en sortant de l'oral, je me suis dit "si jamais je suis admise à l'école c'est celle que je choisirai".
J'ai eu la chance de tomber sur un jury très humain, ils essayaient de comprendre les choix, le vécu de la personne, pourquoi est ce qu'il veut intégrer cette école. Et puis ils essaient de faire en sorte de nous aider à trouver le chemin où nous serons le plus épanouis.
Je n'ai pas fait le parcours classique : classes préparatoires école de commerce. J'étais à l'université avant, puis j'ai intégré le premier semestre. Le premier semestre, c'est un semestre de remise à niveau. Ensuite, au premier semestre ont choisi le parcours qu'on veut effectuer à l'EDHEC. J'ai fait le choix de faire le parcours “apprentissage européen”. Je pense que la richesse de ce parcours ce sont les relations qu'ont qu'en fait, c'est les gens, c'est le corps professoral..
Je dis ça parce que nous avons une responsable d'apprentissage qui est juste géniale. C'est une personne qui va être très à l'écoute, elle va essayer de comprendre les problèmes de chacun, les difficultés de chacun. J'avais vraiment besoin de cet aspect humain. J'avais besoin d'une école où il y avait de la diversité et l'école on est une clairement, aujourd'hui je peux en attester.

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 Students Office | EDHEC Business School
[Music] Title: “International Students 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 Student Office - Camilla Garcia Biel
[Music] A big “Thank you” to the International Student 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 outdoors 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 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 afterward, and be part of a virtuous cycle of ongoing financing of studies for everyone.

My career opportunities | EDHEC Business School
Hi, my name is Ranan and I am a Master's in Management student in the business management track.
[Music] Campus Life. Ranan Parashar. My Career opportunities thanks to EDHEC.
This is what I really appreciate about the Career Centre: they really read each and every profile in a detailed manner, to make the best out of it, and make sure that you land an internship/job currently.
I'm in my second gap year internship, and I'm interning as an M&A marketing and consumer engagement assistant at Sol de Janeiro. For my first internship, I worked as a PR and media consultant at TBWA corporate.
Gap year is a time to completely learn about yourself, to figure out what really drives and inspires you. You will be in a professional working environment, where you will meet a lot of new people every day. And they will help you understand the business culture of the industry where you intend to go in the future. And lastly, and I cannot stress this enough, it's a great opportunity to develop your skill sets. It's something that you cannot learn in the classrooms. Also EDHEC alumni network is very vast and very well established in the respective sectors. Just to give you a quick example, my current manager, she's an EDHEC alumna and in one of the meetings that we had, a few weeks ago, and this is something that I feel really proud of, is the fact that out of the six people in the meeting... three were from EDHEC. So that is something really commendable, that really shows you how widespread we are and how successful we are.
[ What advice would you like to share? ]
Try to get into one of the student associations at EDHEC. There are plenty to choose from, and all are working on some phenomenal causes. I was in EDHEC Nations Unies, or EDHEC United Nations and I worked in the creative and communications department or the "com' crea". The work there helped me enter one of the most creative phases of my life, and what I learned from there, in terms of video making or in terms of, you know, creating digital assets... all the skill sets that I learned over there, you would not believe it, but this is something that is part of my job routine now.
[What was your experience with EDHEC International Student Office (ISO)?]
I am really satisfied with what ISO has done for me personally, and for the students in general. You know, whether it be an issue with my visa, or my rent in France. You know, ISO has always been there. They are just an email away, and just to give you a quick example: me and my friends, we decided to stay back on the campus during the first lockdown in France. We stayed in the student's residence. The amount of health and moral support that the ISO has shown during those times really shows the fact that they really care about their student's well-being. And that is something, since we were so far away from our family, they understood our needs and requirements. And I'm so very happy that, you know, EDHEC takes such good care of their students.

My academic and professional journey | EDHEC Business School
[ringtone] Difei Guo. Graduate Master in Management.
I'm from the northeast of China, a place that is near Russia, Japan, Korea and super cold in winter, minus 30 degrees.
My dad is a doctor, my mom is a nurse. I went to the University of Nottingham. It's a British university and I chose the major of international business, because I kind of want to explore the business world. So I can figure out what I like, what I don't like.
At that point, I kind of realised my passion in marketing and branding, and I also have this urge to explore another culture. During my study in the university of Nottingham, actually I did that exchange programme in France. It’s in that semester, I really like French language and culture, and like the lifestyle here. Especially the arts and the museum. Since it's always something I really enjoy. So I decided to take a master's program in France. That's why I met EDHEC. It's really a top business school with this three year master’s programme, to not only give me a double master's degree but it also gave me a one year chance to develop a career here. Have international working experience. So that's why I decided to take this opportunity and really start this journey.
The first year, we really dive into the business management work, have a master level understanding, which align with my formal experience. And second year, I have one year of professional experience. So I can take real life experience working in different industries, in an international environment. And then last year, I can choose the specialisation. So it really depends on what you understand in the previous two year experience. So far, I have a lot of opportunities. I got offers from China, from London… opportunities in Germany. Also I have finished my internship at Amazon in Luxembourg. So I would say, if I didn’t have that experience at EDHEC, I wouldn’t have had this amazing opportunity from different countries. And I would say, it's really the strategic thinking in the second master I got, plus the international working experience, that really made my resume stand out.
Actually if you read the survey, the most friendly city in France is actually Lille. Especially for international students. It's a city near the border, very close, probably 30 minutes to Belgium and not far from the Netherlands, and also kind of close to the UK. You can take the Eurostar directly to London. So that position really gives international students a great opportunity to explore. Since you can have your career life, you can have your study life, but at the same time you can enjoy European culture.
So I would say, EDHEC helped me to become a more authentic person and find my true value. Not to mention the support from the school, from the career centre and all the amazing schoolmates and alumni I have met during this three years’ journey. Every time, I push myself out there, put myself in danger, and then I grow. And I achieved something I could never imagine. So this will be my aspiration. I will keep doing the same thing in the future.
