2 year MBA in France

Choosing an MBA programme is a monumental decision in one's professional journey, and the choice between a 1-year and a 2-year programme can greatly impact your career trajectory, educational experience, and work-life balance. At EDHEC, we offer the uniquely designed 16-month Executive MBA (EMBA) programme and Executive MBA in Healthcare Innovation & Technology (EMBA HIT), providing a rigorous and comprehensive business education to drive your career forward. 

 

The unique advantage of a 2-year MBA 

 

Embarking on a 2-year MBA programme offers professionals an unparalleled advantage. The part-time structure not only enriches your work experience but also allows direct application of newly acquired skills in your day-to-day job. By delving into subjects such as digital marketing, finance, accounting, and human resource management, you can seamlessly integrate academic theory and real-world practice, leading to an immediate impact in your professional life. 

 

The extended duration ensures a comprehensive curriculum that combines academic learning with invaluable hands-on experiences, such as international business trips and company visits. These are designed to give participants a profound understanding of global business practices and elevate your credentials within the realm of higher education. 

 

Beyond the academic benefits, the longer timeline fosters deeper connections within cohorts. This enhances cultural exchange and broadens global business network, invaluable experiences for any international student.  

 

Investing in quality with an MBA in France 

 

When considering a 2-year MBA, the choice of business school is a critical decision. France boasts several prestigious schools and universities known for their top MBA programmes, including HEC Paris, INSEAD, and EDHEC. Each of these educational institutions offers a distinct learning experience, but EDHEC sets itself apart for its commitment to academic excellence, high global rankings, and diverse cohort selection. 

 

EDHEC proudly holds the 7th position among business schools in Europe according to the Financial Times. Furthermore, the EDHEC’ 2-year Executive MBA programme, delivered in Paris or Lille, is esteemed as one of the top 50 worldwide.
