KEDGE Business School

ABOUT UNIVERSITY

KEDGE Business School is a French grande école and internationally recognized business school formed in 2013 through the merger of Bordeaux Ecole de Management (founded in 1874) and EUROMED Management (founded in 1872). Although recently established, its origins date back to the 19th century, making it part of a long tradition of business education in France. The school holds triple accreditation from AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA, placing it among an elite group of global business schools. KEDGE operates multiple campuses across France, including in Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulon, and Paris, as well as internationally in Dakar, Abidjan, Shanghai, and Suzhou. The institution has expanded steadily over time, adding new campuses, launching a PhD programme, and strengthening its global partnerships. As a grande école, KEDGE belongs to a selective higher education system separate from public universities, known for rigorous admissions and strong links to leadership roles in business and government. Its degrees are accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and recognised by the French Ministry of National Education. The school follows the European higher education structure, offering bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programmes based on a credit system that supports international mobility and academic progression.
