KEDGE expands international pathway with a dual degree in Japan

KEDGE Business School continues to expand its global footprint by launching a dual degree programme with Nagoya University of Commerce and Business (NUCB), one of the most prestigious Japanese business schools.

This strategic partnership reinforces KEDGE’s commitment to delivering international academic pathways that prepare students for Master’s and MSc programmes in a highly competitive global environment.

A dual degree designed for future Master’s students

The new dual degree is built on KEDGE’s International BBA, a state-recognised Bachelor’s degree awarding the Licence grade.

The programme is internationally oriented, with two years of study abroad, academic exchanges within a global partner network and an international internship.

This strong academic foundation enhances access to top-ranked Master’s programmes in management, finance, international business and strategy.

An international academic experience in Europe and Asia

KEDGE and NUCB have collaborated since 2015 through student exchange programmes.

This long-standing partnership now evolves into a structured dual degree pathway, offering students the opportunity to study in Europe and Japan while developing high-level intercultural, academic and professional skills valued by leading international Master’s programmes and global employers.

Nagoya University of Commerce and Business, a triple-accredited institution

Founded in 1953, Nagoya University of Commerce and Business is the only business school in Japan to hold the three major international accreditations: AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.

With campuses in Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka, NUCB offers Bachelor’s, Master of Science and MBA programmes, including specialised degrees in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, positioning it among Asia’s top business schools.

A strong competitive advantage for international Master’s studies

With campuses on four continents and over 365 academic partners worldwide, KEDGE Business School pursues a selective internationalisation strategy.

This new partnership in Asia strengthens the school’s academic reputation and provides students with a distinctive international profile, increasing their competitiveness for elite Master’s programmes and international careers.
