Meeting and working with international students, interacting with a global Faculty, you will benefit from international major Executive MBA partnerships.

KEDGE’s campuses abroad give the school an impressive reach in terms of faculty, students, global network, research and image. KEDGE's international exposure and programs overseas demonstrate its capacity to train executives with a trans-national ambition and a wide-ranging background. It also provides unique geostrategic insights from local actors (through our Chinese and African campuses for example).

KEDGE established its first campus in China (Shanghai), in partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and is the only French part time Executive MBA programme to be formally recognised by the Chinese Government.

It enables our participants to interact both professionally and socially with participants from different cultures. Some seminars are delivered with European-based and Chinese-based cohorts all together online. We aim to motivate KEDGE cohorts to mix and network. Likewise, French-based Executive MBA participants visit their Chinese peers for another core course in Shanghai.

KEDGE has initiated alliances with other universities and Executive MBAs in Europe: Frankfurt School of Finance & Management in Germany and SDA Bocconi School of Management in Italy.
