MBA Faculty - EDHEC

The choice of professors in the MBA is in-keeping with the philosophy of the programme. We select professors and guest speakers who will not only share their expertise and bring the latest techniques into the classroom, but ones who will also push participants to develop their full potential.

The MBA faculty is made up of permanent professors from EDHEC and visiting professors from some of the most prestigious institutions from around the world. Of course, each professor is selected for his pedagogical and academic qualities and all our speakers are undeniable experts in their field. All have a significant track record of addressing an audience of international students or experienced professionals.

Each year about 40 speakers; men and women, professors and managers from over 15 different nationalities contribute to this programme and help make it a life changing experience.

Peter Levant (USA) - MBA Class of 2007

"This MBA programme assembles the best professors from around the world. The small class size allows an incredible student to teacher ratio and maximises interaction. One professor had us perform country risk profiles using macro economic tools as if we were managers of multi national companies and with another professor we analysed financial statements of public companies and then issued buy, hold and sell stock recommendations, just like Wall Street investment analysts. In an interactive role play and business case study, we negotiated one of Europe's largest mergers... I now have a world-class network of experts in various fields. This is a life long resource."
