KEDGE Business School is a well-established French business school with a strong international reputation. It was formed in 2013 as a result of the merger of two prestigious French business schools: BEM (Bordeaux Management School) and Euromed Management School in Marseille. Since its inception, KEDGE Business School has gained recognition for its diverse academic programs, research, and commitment to sustainability. 

KEDGE Business School is a vibrant business school with 4 campuses in France (Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille and Toulon), two in China (Shanghai and Suzhou) and two in Africa (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire). KEDGE Business School offers an international environment, which includes 14,800 students (25% foreign students), 196 full-time faculty members (45% of whom are international) and some 300 international academic partners.

Ranked 34st amongst European Business Schools and 41th worldwide for the Executive MBA by the Financial Times, KEDGE Business School is AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA accredited and a member of the French Conférence des Grandes Écoles.

Strategic vision : Conviction, ambition, mission Conviction KEDGE does not just reveal the potential of its students but develops that potential to produce individuals that will have an impact on their environment. "The most successful careers have in common women and men who are aligned between their convictions and their actions, trained to mobilise and embrace a group and whose impact is recognised." Alexandre De Navailles, General Manager.

Ambition The KEDGE ambition is to become the leading example of learning and succeeding by doing.

Mission This translates into a mission which, more than transmitting knowledge, is to encourage the detection, emergence and development of all those who wish to create value and have an impact on society.

KEDGE is a unique school. Its approach is student-centred which means that it can offer personalised and individualised support, combining know-how, good interpersonal skills, self-knowledge and awareness of others. Different educational and learning approaches can be applied to a single study program. Consequently each student receives individual supervision so they get to know themselves better and achieve fulfillment. KEDGE develops high standard educational methods that combine academic excellence with experience. KEDGE students can benefit from an experience-based programme, acquiring and demonstrating their capabilities through real-life situations in order to prepare themselves as effectively as possible for their future careers.

Research at KEDGE has been structured around 4 centres of excellence and 3 centres of expertise which generate knowledge in the fields for which the school has built up its international reputation. It is meaningful as it addresses real problems encountered by companies and brings together our students, professors, partner companies and the regions.

Finally, KEDGE is committed to the regions by being a local agent for economic development, employment and equal opportunities. The school contributes to economic activity (internships, work-study programmes, employment) and the promotion of its regions (events, contributions to networks and participation in debates) to support their development.
