A few weeks after its strong performance in the 2026 Challenges ranking, where it had already secured second place, the EDHEC International BBA has confirmed its excellence by achieving second place in Le Point magazine’s 2026 ranking of four-year Bachelor’s programmes, reinforcing its position among the leading post-secondary management programmes.

The EDHEC International BBA stands out in selectivity, teaching and salaries

EDHEC ranks first in three major criteria: selectivity, teaching quality and graduate salaries.

The selectivity criterion, based on the average Baccalauréat results of admitted students, highlights the BBA’s strong appeal among secondary school graduates, with an improvement of four places compared with 2025.
 

The score awarded for teaching quality particularly recognises the rate and quality of academic supervision provided to students, the proportion of faculty members holding a doctorate or PhD who teach on the BBA programme, and the development of double degrees with partner French higher education institutions. Three four-year double degrees (including one in London) are available from the first year of the EDHEC BBA:

• The International Law & Finance double degree, developed in partnership with the Faculty of Law at the Catholic University of Lille, trains graduates capable of combining legal expertise with advanced skills in finance and management.
• The second double degree, Digital Engineering & Management, offered in partnership with the University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC), enables students to acquire dual expertise in engineering sciences and management.
•    The BSc in International Business Analytics & Management, developed with King’s Business School, addresses major transformations in the economic landscape related to data, artificial intelligence, sustainability and internationalisation.

Finally, EDHEC also ranks first in the “salaries” criterion, based on the average gross annual salaries (excluding bonuses) reported by graduates upon leaving the school over the past three years, exceeding €45,000.

“This new recognition confirms the strength of the EDHEC International BBA’s positioning and validates the strategic choices made to develop the programme. Our ambition is clear: to offer an increasingly personalised, interdisciplinary education that is closely aligned with major economic and societal transformations, in order to prepare graduates capable of thriving in a demanding international environment,” concludes Hager Jemel-Fornetty, Associate Dean of the EDHEC International BBA programme.

Strengthening excellence: new developments for the 2026 academic year
 

To continue providing an outstanding academic experience, EDHEC Business School is undertaking a comprehensive transformation of its post-secondary EDHEC International BBA programme, effective from the start of the 2026 academic year.
 

This evolution is based on three pillars: distinctiveness, to highlight individual pathways and projects; hybridisation, through an interdisciplinary approach combining management, humanities, data and innovation; and agility, to prepare students for the rapid changes in the professional world.
The reform will introduce a more flexible and personalised programme structure. From the first year, students will be able to choose from five pathways, including two new options: Humanities & Management (sociology, psychology, philosophy, geopolitics) and Data Science & Management (algorithms and programming, machine learning, differential calculus). These pathways will complement existing tracks in Business Management (Classic Track and English Track), the Global Business pathway and the three double degrees presented above.The new path ways will follow a structure combining 80% core courses shared with the classic track and 20% specialised modules, promoting the gradual development of hybrid skills. Specialisation will then intensify in the third year, with more than 50% elective courses, followed by the fourth year offering seven specialisations and fourteen concentrations, including a new focus on Public Policy & Management. The reform also provides personalised support from the first year to facilitate the transition to higher education, enhanced international exposure with at least one semester at an international partner institution, and a career-oriented pathway including up to 21 months of internships, with a minimum of 10 months required. The development of interpersonal skills will also be strengthened through group projects and hackathons, particularly focusing on artificial intelligence.
