On Saturday the 18th March 2006, participants of the EDHEC MSc Programmes gathered in Paris for their graduation ceremony. 153 students of 33 different nationalities were awarded a Master of Science diploma of EDHEC Business School. Despite tight professional schedules, many of these graduates travelled from all over the world to Paris to accept their diplomas in person.

As each year, the programme of the graduation ceremony wass packed with important guest speakers and prize awards, such as the prize for Best Academic Performance within the Grande Ecole students. The EDHEC Foundation gave awards for the best student dissertation and excellence in academic research.

The president of the EDHEC Alumni Association presented the activities of the association. Bringing together more than 17.000 alumni, the Association contributes in the fame of the Business School and participates in many projects based on the development of EDHEC.

After, came the best moment of the ceremony; the conferring of the degrees. The traditional Class of 2005 photo was taken of all the graduates with their precious diplomas in hand. Finally, the new graduates left for the EDHEC Gala to celebrate their graduation and to bring a stylish end to their special day.
