EDHEC PhD in Finance - About EDHEC Business School

Over 100 Years of Excellence

EDHEC Business School has been offering management training and development programmes since 1906. With 110 permanent professors and over 4,700 students over three campuses in Lille, Paris and Nice, EDHEC Business School is the largest provider of management education in France and one of the leading business schools in Europe. To continue to advance its position amongst the top international institutions in terms of academic quality, research, and facilities, EDHEC Business School has earmarked some 105 million euros for new investments over the period from 2007 to 2010.

Distinctive Research Policy

EDHEC Business School’s mission is to “train the talent and develop the knowledge that moves the world forward”. EDHEC Business School research supports this ambition by enriching the learning environment of courses and challenging participants to seek excellence, and by creating added-value knowledge for businesses and communities. The school’s “Research for Business” policy focuses the efforts of research centres on issues that correspond to genuine industry and community expectations through the input of leading practitioners and corporate co-financing of R&D investments. The school’s research results are not only published in academic journals but also actively promoted to and discussed with the corporate world, administrative and legislative authorities, and the general public.

The Triple Crown of International Accreditations

EDHEC Business School was amongst the first institutions worldwide to be awarded the “triple crown” of international accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, Association of MBAs) for the academic excellence and professional relevance of its programmes, its strong links with the business community, its international orientation, and its commitment to an ongoing process of quality improvement.

Strong International Orientation

EDHEC Business School offers the widest range of fully English-instructed graduate programmes in France, drawing participants from a wide range of countries, cultures, and academic and professional backgrounds. Over 75 nationalities are represented on its three campuses. The diversity of the student body contributes greatly to a rich learning environment that is highly conducive to personal and professional development.

Powerful Alumni Network

EDHEC Business School graduates are lifelong members of a thriving network of over 18,000 professionals present in more than 100 countries and in every industry. Throughout their careers, alumni enjoy a wealth of benefits and activities including career counselling, continuing education, and meetings. Themed professional clubs and learning communities allow alumni to gain and share insights into issues affecting their organisations, industries, and communities. This powerful network contributes to developing EDHEC Business School’s reputation worldwide and enhances its relationship with the global business community. In the last ranking of the world’s top 100 full-time MBA programmes, the Economist Intelligence Unit gave EDHEC Business School the second place in the “Potential to Network” category (The Economist, 29 September 2007).
