The unique advantages of studying business in France (ecosystem, innovation, cultural advantages)
A world-class academic and business ecosystem
France is home to prestigious centres of research and higher education, and its economy is among the strongest in Europe. By studying business in France, students immerse themselves in a robust, diverse and evolving economic context, from major corporations to dynamic small and medium-size enterprises, offering a rich ecosystem for internships, learning and eventual employment.
Blend of cultural richness and international exposure
France’s cultural heritage, lifestyle and vibrant student life offer more than just academics, they shape a rounded international experience. Cities like Bordeaux, Paris, Marseille or Toulon provide access to history, art, gastronomy, multicultural encounters and high quality of living.
At KEDGE campuses, international students join a diverse community: about 32% of students come from abroad, representing more than 40 nationalities.
Innovation, flexibility and modern learning environments
KEDGE provides modern, well-equipped campuses where teaching methods and facilities are designed to meet international standards. Its programmes offer flexibility: courses are available in English or French; some tracks include strong international exposure through exchanges and internships.

International exposure and mobility make your CV stand out
For instance, the International BBA at KEDGE includes two years abroad and a mandatory international internship. By combining studies in France with global mobility, graduates build a profile that stands out to multinational corporations, start-ups and employers across continents.
A strong bridge between academia and real-world business
Internships, international work placements and dual-degree opportunities with partner universities ensure students gain practical skills long before graduation. This blend of theory and practice helps them enter the job market with confidence.
A globally recognised degree aligned with employer expectations
KEDGE degrees are validated by national and international authorities. In addition to Triple Crown accreditation, its programmes lead to qualifications recognised by the French Ministry of Higher Education. This enhances graduates’ credibility worldwide.

KEDGE played a decisive role in shaping both my professional skills and my mindset. The Bachelor programme gave me a strong grounding in business fundamentals, and the Grande École Programme allowed me to deepen my expertise while developing the confidence to take on complex challenges. The projects, group work and international exposure taught me to think differently, innovate and adapt quickly.
