EDHEC Business School
You are here : EDHEC Business School > Message from the Dean

EDHEC Business School has a clear ambition for 2010, namely to be among the top 10 schools in Europe for general management education and research. EDHEC's strategic choice is to go back to its roots and what led it to be so successful from the outset, in other words, to serve the business world and facilitate our young graduates' entry onto the job market.
EDHEC's aim is to become the school that has a resounding impact on its market, on the business world and on the economy. In other words, whatever EDHEC does or will do will directly influence management thinking of course, but also, more widely the social and economic debate. This influence will be conveyed mainly through the School's research policy that puts the business world at the heart of its research.
In order to deploy its international strategy, EDHEC Business School must adapt its facilities extend its premises and offer its students a wider range of services. EDHEC chose an exceptional new site set on 8.5 hectares of parkland for the Lille expansion plan and the project for an extension of 7500m2 is underway in Nice.
Central to EDHEC Business School's development strategy is its ambition to be a leading European player and to make a major contribution to structuring a rapidly-changing international market, and to be positioned as one of the top general management and research institutions in Europe on a long-term basis.
By 2010, EDHEC aims to be the first choice Business School among European business organisations for its students, it programmes and its research.
