[Hua Ariel Li - Director of the MSc in Marketing Management]
The MSc in Marketing Management programme has been ranked consistently among the world's TOP 10 Masters in Marketing by the QS ranking. So I think marketing can be a very good force for the world.
We believe that marketing is an integration of art and science. So science, because marketers, they do research. They collect information. They analyse their consumers and they draw insights from their analysis. Art, because marketers, create engaging content. And then basically you see that the scientific part of marketing lays a solid foundation for the artistic part of marketing. And we integrate this philosophy of making responsible marketing practices.
We designed our programme and curriculum
to cover all functions of marketing management
with breadth and depth. From product management to branding, from communication to digital marketing, and from omnichannel retail to sustainable marketing.
So basically we wanted to give our students a comprehensive understanding of the field.
So we have two concentrations here in the second semester,
So one is Luxury & Fashion
and the other one is Entertainment & Services. Students get to work on the real-world, kind of company challenges in the class. So for example, this year in our product development and innovation course, students get to work on. L’Oréal Brainstorm Challenge and in the retail course, the students also get to work on a student competition that is organised by the World Retail Congress about how to revamp shopping malls after the pandemic.
The goal of MSc in Marketing Management is to prepare
the next generation of marketing leaders.
They will make a positive social and environmental impact by developing creative, engaging and effective marketing actions.

CLASS PROFILE
Age range: 22-30
To me, marketing is an integration of art and science. Science because marketers do research to understand their customers better: they gather information, analyse data, track and measure the performance of marketing actions. Art, because marketers create, design, develop and implement marketing activities. The scientific side of marketing lays solid foundations for the artistic side of marketing to come up with creative, engaging and effective marketing actions. Our program aims to fuse art and science in marketing. We equip students with both soft and hard skills so that they become creative but data-driven, agile yet rigorous marketeers who take responsibility for their marketing actions to make positive social and environmental impacts while driving business growth.

This module aims to provide you with knowledge and understanding of key management issues in corporate finance and the market for financial assets.
This course objectives are to equip you with sound understanding of the fundamental concepts and vocabulary used in statistical modelling and make you aware of the powers of data analysis. It will enable you to correctly assess the validity of current techniques to common business situations, use simple Python programs to manipulate data and expressions, and confidently handle the presentation and interpretation of data using python language.
The course is designed to provide you with an overview of the foundations of financial accounting, with a practical focus on financial statement analysis and the valuation of public organisations. These foundations are deemed necessary for students to successfully pursue their studies at master's level.
The purpose of this course is to equip you with a fundamental knowledge of marketing and to demonstrate the key role that marketing plays in any organisation. You will gain a better understanding of what marketing is and its role in the firm, as well as the process of value creation from the perspective of customers, producers and society at large. You will learn how to mix various marketing tools and techniques in a coherent manner.
The primary objective of this course is to help you answer important strategic questions for companies or organisations, such as: What business will we be in? How do we compete for resources and create value? How do we organise for and assess performance?
In this course, you will focus on the complex and multidimensional nature of strategic decision-making.
Core modules are classes that must be taken by all students of the programme.
Communication is one of the most visible marketing tools. It is, therefore, important for students specialising in marketing to learn about communication strategies & implementation. These days, brands are omnipresent. Most companies communicate about brands rather than products. Brand management has become one of the most important key marketing missions. This class mixes both aspects: brand management and the role of communication to achieve it.
On completing the course, you will be able to perform brand diagnosis, provide recommendations and develop a communications strategy, and propose appropriate communication tools.
This course will help you better understand the ethical issues associated with business and the economy, more particularly related to marketing. You will learn the practical implementation of ethical standards in marketing by analysing controversial marketing campaigns and by studying innovative, ethically sound initiatives.
On completing the course, you will develop a real understanding of the types of ethical issues encountered in marketing, as well as both company and consumer responses to them. This will help you resolve key issues that arise in specific marketing ethics situations.
In recent years, a fundamental shift has occurred in marketing from managing and marketing products to understanding and managing customers, requiring a clear understanding of the customer management process and the value of customers to the firm – the firm’s customer equity. You will learn to master tools that are critical in today’s business environment, including Tableau. You will gain skills related to customer selection and acquisition, customer retention, customer win-back, and customer experience management. Upon completion of this course, you will have gained a solid understanding of customer relationship management. You will be able to analyse and develop customer management strategies and assess costumer value.
This course provides a hands-on understanding of the processes and decisions involved in developing and implementing international marketing strategies. You will learn various concepts and tools for analysing and evaluating international markets. The course will emphasise the challenges faced by international marketing, such as deglobalisation, protectionism, digital transformation & artificial intelligence (AI), social responsibility, and ethics. You will gain a good understanding of the field of international marketing and become firmly grounded in the current realities of the global marketplace.
On completing the course, you will have the personal and interpersonal skills to be an effective member of an international marketing team and develop a comprehensive course of action for a business firm using formal decision-making processes in the development of an international marketing strategy.
In a business world that is more and more consumer-centric, understanding qualitative and quantitative market research roles becomes critical. This course will provide you with a clear understanding of the core principles of market research, as well as concrete skills on how to build the most appropriate research design, how to write and implement a questionnaire/discussion guide, and how to conduct an analysis from a professional and real-life point of view. You will also develop your analytical skills by dealing with marketing business questions based on concrete examples.
On completing the course, you will be able to build a qualitative discussion guide and quantitative questionnaire using a statistical tool (SPSS).
Over the past two decades, political, social and technological developments have disrupted the strategic business landscape in almost every country around the world. There is an ongoing paradigm shift towards a more service-dominant, digital and global economy. As a result, future managers are confronted with a growing need to justify their trade-offs in the managerial decision-making process. Business research can be defined as the systematic inquiry that provides information for managerial decision-making.
As a future manager, you will need to understand how effective business research can provide high-quality information to improve managerial decision-making. You will learn how the business research process is a sequential process based on scientific methods, enabling you to understand, evaluate and conduct research to improve managerial decision-making.
New product development is a critical capability, driving a company’s growth and competitive advantages. While most companies acknowledge the importance of innovation, many companies struggle to do it effectively. Through a combination of class discussion, real-world case analysis and project applications, this course is designed to provide you with concepts, methods, and tools to carry out a new product development (incorporating both quantitative and qualitative perspectives) and to manage the process from a marketing perspective. Upon completion of the course, you will know how to appreciate the importance of design thinking in the product development process. You will understand the importance of integrating sustainability principles into the new product development and innovation life-cycle. You will learn how to apply the concepts, methods, and tools necessary for new product development through case examples and project work, design, evaluate, and test new product concepts and plan for the product launch.
Digital technologies are revolutionising the field of marketing by giving marketers an unprecedented and diverse new set of tools to reach, engage, understand and respond to consumers. This course aims to provide you with the foundation for planning a digital marketing campaign. You will gain a solid understanding of various digital marketing tools and practice on a company-sponsored project to design and implement a digital marketing campaign and measure its effectiveness. You will also learn how to create content that can resonate with consumers, to help businesses differentiate themselves in competitive markets.
On completing the course, you will be able to develop a purposeful digital marketing strategy to achieve your business and marketing goals and evaluate and measure the success of digital marketing campaigns.

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 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 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.

[Music] Title: “Eiffel Scholarship”
Speaker: Sahil Dholakia – Eiffel Scholarship Awardee.
Melanie, can you tell me about the Eiffel scholarship?
Speaker: Melanie Colmart - International Recruitment Manager
Hi Sahil. Congratulations on this achievement. The Eiffel excellence scholarship is a programme established by the French ministry for Europe and foreign office. Its goal is to attract the top foreign students into French Business Schools for master programmes. It is highly selective and only the best students with excellent GPAs and profiles are eligible. The Eiffel scholarship awards you a monthly allowance, round-trip plane tickets between your home country and France, health insurance, and cultural activities. So Sahil, you were awarded this scholarship. Can you tell me more about the process?
Yes Melanie. The international admissions team selected my profile for the scholarship and
I had to provide them with some extra documents so they sent my whole profile and the documents to the scholarship team. Can you please give some tips for the Eiffel scholarship?
Yes I will. So first I would like to remind you that the Eiffel programme is a very exclusive scholarship for over a thousand applicants per year; only a few hundred are the lucky awardees. Secondly, you can only apply through an institution. So the first step for you, would be to apply and get admitted to EDHEC. Then before December 1st, our deadline, you need to send all your documents for this scholarship as one pdf. So for the documents, we will ask you for: your cv, your full academic transcripts, a GMAT or GRE and an english proficiency test and the most important part your motivation letter. This is a way to help you stand out for the selection committee and here are a few tips for you. First you need to be sure about your goal, you need to express why the programme, and the scholarship in particular, will help you achieve your dreams. Second, your personality. This is a way to show the committee who you are and why you should be chosen and if you have any extra link with France, this is a way also to give it. So Sahil you went through this process, do you have a few tips for future students?
Okay, so for the applicants I would like to say. Firstly, apply as soon as possible and most preferably before December. Because the earlier you apply, the higher the chances are for you to get selected for the scholarship. And secondly, I would like to say the Eiffel scholarship is the most renowned scholarship in Europe and especially in France. So it is also a big highlighted part of my CV. So yeah exactly, and for the applicants, I would like to say just apply as soon as possible and all the best to you guys.

Programme Insights
Student talk: our MSc Marketing Management | EDHEC Business School
[Music]
Hassan Shaheen. MSc Marketing Management. Lebanon.
One very fascinating thing that I saw during my programme, is that EDHEC has very strong partnerships with companies in the market. For example, in the retail management course that I had last semester, every week a CEO of a big company was joining us on campus here, and listened to our recommendations for his business. In addition we were able to work on projects for big companies in the market like Unilever, Seb group and Disneyland Paris. The importance of that is that you don't only take the theories, you also get the chance to apply them in real situations in the market.
So for example, sometimes the theory might give you a solution. There's more than what your boss needs or what the company needs. But interacting with what companies in the market at this stage, during your education, makes you know what people really want in the market and puts you in a situation that you will face later on in your future career. So that's why, I think, it's very important to learn the theories but at the same time applied in the market nowadays
