For the fourth consecutive year, the EDHEC International BBA has secured second place in the Challenges 2025 ranking of four-year Bachelor’s programmes, reaffirming its appeal to high school graduates and the quality of its teaching. This achievement mirrors its standings in other rankings, such as those by Le Point and Le Figaro, which also place the programme second in France. 

This new accolade complements the recognition from the Financial Times, which ranked EDHEC as the 7^th best European business school for the third year running and its Master in Management programme 4^th worldwide. Such international acclaim underscores EDHEC's reputation for excellence and positions its programmes among the world's best.

Diverse pathways

A four-year post-secondary programme, the EDHEC International BBA offers various pathways designed to meet students' aspirations and objectives. The Business Management Track, delivered on the Lille and Nice campuses, combines academic specialisations, professional experiences, and international opportunities. The Global Business Track, taught entirely in English, immerses students in three different countries, providing a truly multicultural perspective.

Additionally, a dual degree in Digital Engineering and Management, developed in partnership with the University of Technology of Compiègne, equips students to excel in technical and managerial fields. These offerings prepare EDHEC BBA graduates to become key players in a rapidly changing global environment.

International outlook at the core

The EDHEC International BBA stands out for its strong international orientation. With over 160 partner universities in more than 40 countries, students enjoy numerous opportunities for academic exchanges and internships abroad.
In November 2024, EDHEC announced a partnership with Albert School, a specialist institution in data science and business. Starting in 2025, BBA students will be able to pursue a dual degree integrating skills in data science, a rapidly growing discipline in the job market. This initiative reflects the BBA's adaptability to global trends, evolving careers, and shifting employer expectations.

Professionalisation: a key pillar of the programme

Professionalisation lies at the heart of the EDHEC International BBA. Students can undertake up to 18 months of internships in France or abroad, significantly enhancing their employability. An apprenticeship track, available from the third year, allows students to alternate between academic learning and professional immersion. This hands-on approach is supported by personalised guidance from EDHEC’s Career Centre, helping students shape and achieve their career goals.
