Alba Graduate Business School has signed a new exchange agreement with EDHEC Business School, a top-tier institution consistently ranked among the top 10 business schools in Europe for finance, management, and entrepreneurship. Holding the prestigious “triple crown” of accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA), EDHEC is internationally recognized for the strength of its academic portfolio, its global outlook, and its long-standing commitment to excellence in business education.
EDHEC operates across five international campuses, each with a distinct strategic focus that reflects the school’s global reach and academic breadth. Lille, the main campus and headquarters, serves as the primary academic hub, hosting the majority of undergraduate and graduate programs. Nice focuses on the Global MBA, the PhD in Finance, and specialized research centers such as the EDHEC-Risk Institute. Paris, located in the historic Le Centorial building, serves as a center for executive education and the school’s startup incubator at Station F. London functions as a specialized center in the heart of the City for students and professionals focusing on finance and research, while Singapore is positioned as an academic cluster for finance and executive training in Asia.
EDHEC’s international strategy is anchored in a vast network of over 300 academic partners across approximately 130 countries, ensuring that a global perspective is integrated into every program. The school currently ranks #4 worldwide for its Master's in Management and #6 for its Master's in Finance according to the Financial Times (2024). It is also recognized as a global leader in entrepreneurship, with its Global MBA recently ranked #2 in the world for entrepreneurship by Poets&Quants (2026). Furthermore, EDHEC’s Executive MBA holds the world’s highest alumni satisfaction score (9.8/10), reflecting the school’s elite status and the strength of its 60,000-member global network.
Through this new exchange collaboration agreement, Alba and EDHEC will collaborate on bilateral exchange programs and participation in summer schools. The partnership further expands Alba’s international academic network and creates valuable opportunities for students to experience diverse learning environments, build meaningful international connections, and broaden their global perspectives—further strengthening Alba’s mission to educate globally minded business leaders.
