07/01/2026
What does everyday student life really look like when you choose to study in France? KEDGE’s latest video takes you inside the international student experience across its campuses in Bordeaux, Marseille and Paris: an authentic glimpse into academic life, campus environments and life beyond the classroom.

Three cities, three ways to experience France 

Studying at KEDGE as an international student means discovering France through cities with distinct identities, each offering a different experience:

  • Marseille combines academic life with a Mediterranean lifestyle. Known for its vibrant culture, international outlook and coastal setting, the city offers an energetic environment where students balance studies, cultural life and everyday living by the sea.
  • Bordeaux blends historic charm with innovation and a strong quality of life. Well connected to Paris and the Atlantic coast, it is a compact, student-friendly city with a lively cultural scene and a growing presence in technology and business.
  • Paris offers a truly global academic environment. As one of the world’s leading cultural and educational capitals, it brings together universities, grandes écoles, companies and institutions, providing students with constant exposure to international opportunities and networks.

Beyond those 3 main campuses, KEDGE is part of a wider academic network in France and abroad with additional locations through associated campuses across France, Africa and Asia, giving students access to a truly international business education.

Learning in an international environment

International life at KEDGE is shaped by daily academic interactions. Students learn in multicultural classrooms where discussions, group projects and teamwork naturally bring together different perspectives and approaches. Most programmes are taught in English, with opportunities to learn additional languages, including French. Studying alongside peers from more than 120 nationalities helps students develop adaptability, cultural awareness and confidence in international settings - skills that remain essential throughout their careers.

Studying business in France also means being immersed in one of Europe’s strongest economic environments. From major international corporations to innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, students benefit from access to prestigious internships, applied projects and professional experiences that complement academic learning.

From campus life to global careers

Choosing KEDGE means joining a global academic community that extends far beyond campus, supported by an international alumni network active across industries and regions worldwide. Through programmes combining academic foundations with strong exposure to the professional world (international mobility, internships, exchanges and dual-degree opportunities), students gain experience early and build profiles that appeal to employers worldwide. Beyond technical knowledge, they develop key skills valued across industries: the ability to work in diverse teams, communicate across cultures and adapt to global business environments.
