Libraries

KEDGE Library is dedicated to learning, research, and academic success. Its mission: organize a fully cross-campus professional service so that the resources made available - whether digital or not - benefit the entire KEDGE community.

It offers a wide range of resources, including books, specialized journals, online databases, and multimedia materials, covering all disciplines taught.

As quiet workspaces conducive to concentration, the libraries also provide a variety of areas tailored to everyone’s needs: reading rooms, group study spaces, open-access computer stations, and relaxation areas.

Open throughout the academic year, KEDGE’s libraries serve as vibrant hubs of activity and exchange, fostering independence, intellectual curiosity, and the success of all students.

The HUB on the Marseille campus

Le Hub Library is a 1,100 square meter space spread over two floors, designed to foster discovery and creativity. Open to the entire KEDGE community, everyone can come to borrow course books (including specialized collections on supply chain, auditing, maritime transport, and sports management, for example), novels, and comics; participate in cultural events; work quietly in the “brain-bubbles”; or simply enjoy a meal at the Hub Café and on the terrace.

Le Hub Library also houses the collection of the KEDGE DESIGN SCHOOL, the “learning by making” pillar of the KEDGE Group, which enables students to move from concept to reality, from business plan to market, and from idea to prototyping.
