Apply to EDHEC International BBA

Are you an international student? If you have completed the level of education required to be admitted to a university in your home province, state or country then you should be eligible to apply for first-year admission to EDHEC International BBA.

Admission is only possible if you provide the mandatory visa and requirements asked by the French authorities before the start of the school year. We do not accept transfers from another institution.

Requirements by educational system

EDHEC accepts most secondary school diplomas that meet the academic requirements for university entrance. We strongly recommend taking subjects relevant to the chosen program to increase your chances of being admitted (Science, Mathematics, Economics or/and Humanities courses, Language courses). Admitted students must provide their secondary school diploma by July 2025 (August 2025 for British Qualifications). Diplomas released in December (i.e. New Zealand, South American diplomas…) must be awarded in the year before the enrollment (i.e. diploma awarded in December 2024 for the September 2025 enrollment).

American High School Diploma

We strongly recommend taking subjects relevant to the chosen program to increase your chances of being admitted.

Although not mandatory, we highly recommend at least 1 Advanced Placement (AP) or Honors course. Please check the List of accepted AP subjects here.

International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma)

Only the IB Diploma Programme is considered for admission.
IB Certificates and IB Career Related Programme (CP) are not valid for admission. Please note that retakes in November 2025 will not be accepted.

EDHEC accepts applicants with a minimum of 3 subjects at Advanced Level (A Level) and with at least one A level in either Economics, Mathematics or Business. Minimum grades accepted: CCC.
Please note that A Levels in Critical Thinking and General Studies are not accepted.
BTECs are not recognized as valid substitutes for the required A Levels.
