EDHEC launches a double degree with King’s Business School
On 24 June 2025 in London, EDHEC Business School and King’s Business School announced the launch of a double Bachelor’s degree starting in September 2026.
EDHEC and King’s Business School are launching a new Bachelor programme, the BSc in International Business Analytics & Management. In the face of geopolitical instability and technological upheavals, the programme will enable students to acquire new skills, such as inter-cultural intelligence and strategic thinking, as well as build their analytical and technical capabilities, and develop proficiency in tools that can assist companies in the transition to more sustainable models.
Dual competencies and inter-cultural intelligence
The BSc in International Business Analytics & Management, taught entirely in English, will last four years. Open to 80 students, the programme will deliver a degree from each of the two institutions. It will combine academic education, immersive learning and 10 months of internships (in years 3 and 4 of the programme) on the London and Lille campuses. The first intake is scheduled for September 2026.
The first two years of the programme will take place in London, with teaching centred on the fundamentals of management, business and data analysis — in line with the philosophy of King’s Business School, which considers business to be a lever of positive transformation. Students will benefit from King’s College’s multi-disciplinary environment and have the chance to collaborate with students from other faculties via an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. London will also serve as an open-air class room, thanks to on-the-ground experiences, visits and talks given by professionals from all sectors of the capital’s economy.
The last two years will take place on EDHEC’s Lille campus, where students can specialise in areas like finance, strategy or marketing, depending on their centres of interest and career plans. “This new programme, unique in Europe, marks a new stage in our longstanding partnership with this institution”, explains Emmanuel Métais, Dean of EDHEC. “It will enable students to acquire skills in the two disciplines - data & artificial intelligence, and management - while benefiting from both institutions’ outstanding ecosystems, alumni networks and campuses. This new programme underscores EDHEC’s ambition to train students capable of engaging in extensive corporate transformations, in the interests of the common good”.
