How does your MBA programme differ from other schools?
The Theseus-EDHEC MBA is different for several reasons. Its programme includes courses that are not usually connected with an MBA programme and which boost personal development. The Global Business module takes participants to two developing economies and in these countries students participate in executive level meetings in expanding companies. In the integrated modules, businesss classes are dealt with in an innovative way, with three different perspectives being placed on each case study. Finally, the consulting project provides hands on practice as participants serve as team consultants to companies such as Philips, IBM and France Telecom.

Is your program accredited?
Yes. Our program has triple accreditation - AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB.

How long is your programme?
The ten-month intensive period runs from the beginning of September until the beginning of July with a two-week break in December.
The last eight weeks are spent on a consulting project. This involves working at a client's site which can be located anywhere in the world.

Do I have to speak French?

Do you have on-campus housing?
Student residences are located near the Institute in Nice, but the number of studio-style and one bedroom apartments are limited and so we advise early reservation.
