Other forms of financial assistance
Private loans
While French banking laws do not allow international students to take out a bank loan, the majority of EDHEC MBA participants fund their MBA studies through a mixture of personal savings and bank loans from their home country. Don’t hesitate to contact banks in your home country to see their conditions and if they offer advantageous loans for higher education.
