Launching the Executive PhD in Business Management - A major milestone for EDHEC Business School

We are proud to officially launch the Executive PhD in Business Management, a unique programme designed for senior professionals seeking to transform experience into rigorous, impactful knowledge. 

In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, organizations need more than best practices. They need leaders who can question assumptions, generate novel insights, and shape the future of business. The Executive PhD in Business Management is built precisely for this purpose: bridging academic research excellence with real-world impact.

Designed for experienced executives, the programme offers: 

• advanced research and critical thinking skills 
• deep exploration of strategic and organizational challenges 
• the ability to convert data and experience into actionable insights 
• access to a strong international community of faculty, mentors, and researchers committed to net positive business and impactful scholarship 

The first cohort will start in September 2026, with 3 residential modules in Lille, Paris, and Nice.

Application deadline: 30 June 2026
