Director's message
A sustainable and strategic vision with the KEDGE International MBA
There is no need to illustrate that the world is changing at an unprecedented pace, driving technological and digitalisation challenges, environmental constraints, and opportunities that the upcoming leading generation must be prepared to seize. Adaptation skills, critical thinking, and resilient behaviours, in addition to professional and leadership competencies, are highly valued by companies and organisations. This is the direction we would like to guide you.
This International MBA programme is suitable for individuals who already possess 3 years of professional experience, aspire to accelerate their career and leadership journey, and are drawn to the vision and values of KEDGE, which prioritise open-mindedness and engagement. Our aim is to train individuals who will have a positive impact on their environment and society.
This full-time International MBA is a carefully balanced blend of rigorous academic seminars, soft skills development, comprehensive career development, and international exposure. Throughout the programme, you'll engage with the latest trends in business through a hands-on 'learning by doing' approach, combining group work, business games, an applied research thesis, and a unique KEDGE special feature: an immersive seminar.
Digital and environmental concerns remain common threads running through your programme, including the applied research project.
Our programme moto is LEAD THE CHANGE but no doubt that YOU will be changed by the end of your journey, for the better in your career.
Welcome to your “New you”.
