EDHEC Global MBA is a life-changing experience: by mixing relevant business education with an invaluable human experience, it allows you to have a profound impact on your career, your life and your environment.
EDHEC Global MBA Professors deliver high-level academic content revolving around business, economics and the humanities. They foster creative and agile minds in an ever-changing world. Only knowledgeable people can stand for their convictions, make sound decisions and have in impact.
EDHEC Global MBA educates principled leaders. We have designed specific programmes: CareerSMART, Peer & Self Evaluation and Team Work Review, Managing Human Capital with Coaching, Presentation skills and Philosophy to help you leverage your potential and better engage people.
At EDHEC, we believe that action and experimentation foster learning. Throughout the programme, you are offered numerous opportunities to put your leadership and managerial skills to the test and improve them. This will help for a lifetime.
With 70% of the faculty and 94% of the class being international, representing over 30 nationalities, you learn how to manage effectively in a truly global environment. Such diversity is simply a powerful and inspiring source of learning.
Learning is not solely an intellectual and technical process. Passion matters too. Networking, meeting inspiring people, travelling the world, all of these experiences make people richer and stronger. This is also why EDHEC Global MBA may become the best year in your life.
Every single experience, whether individual or collective, encourages participants to set higher personal ambitions. The programme bolsters personal and career turnarounds, such as professional mobility, international mobility or entrepreneurial ventures.
EDHEC Global MBA’s aim is to educate Principled Leaders. Principled leaders not only inspire and empower people; they also make decisions framed by clear core values. They are consistent in their decisions and take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. Global MBA participants are challenged to grow their leadership skills through a virtuous learning cycle that mixes theory, action, learning and self-reflection.
The programme begins with a day-long outing of team-based activities, a very first opportunity to reflect on leadership. Then, through "Managing Human Capital with Coaching", "Leading People and Organisations" and "Building High Performance Teams" courses, MBA participants discover how leaders engage people towards shared goals. Finally, courses such as "Philosophy", "International Business Law" and "Criminal Risks Management" allow participants to question the set of values that guide their decisions and actions.
Leadership is developed through practice and experimentation. Teamwork therefore lies at the core of the programme. Collective assignments (from case studies to consulting and entrepreneurship projects) invite MBA participants to put their leadership skills to test. Every participant receives personalised, constructive feedback on their teamwork and leadership abilities. They get (and give) this feedback from different angles, e.g. small teams they work with throughout the MBA program as well as from their individual career coach.
Leadership can also be learnt by emulating inspiring leaders. Throughout the programme, Alumni Spotlights, Conferences, Global Learning Expeditions, Treks and company visits offer opportunities to meet inspiring managers and executives. Also, with our diverse student body and an average of eight years of professional experience, fellow participants are definitely an invaluable source of learning and exchange.
Various tests as well as our unique CareerSMART programme help participants to identify their leadership profile and their areas for improvement. Throughout the programme, we have put peer and self evaluations into place to provide participants with formal 360° feedback. Based on these outcomes we then have Team Work Reviews which consist of collective coaching involving facilitated group sessions. We want to increase the awareness of our students in regard to how to best perform in a team, whether as a leader or as a member and provide valuable insights as to how participants are perceived by others.
The diversity of the program has helped me learn about doing business with other cultures. My network has grown and I have been put in contact with companies in Europe. There’s no doubt that EDHEC MBA will propel my career to the next level.
We had some wonderful guest lectures from some amazing companies including Google, Amadeus and Amazon. And, during my finance track, the managing partner of Astarte Capital Partners ran a module for the course. We got talking about my background and experience and then he offered me a summer internship!
