Courses
How we teach
The Bachelor in Business Management is a four-year programme that combines theory and practice. The first two years focus on building core business fundamentals, before students specialise in their third and fourth years. Throughout the programme, students alternate between internships in France and abroad and academic exchanges, enabling them to design a tailored academic pathway.
“Learning by Doing”
The programme emphasises experiential learning through seminars, hackathons and group projects throughout the curriculum. These activities enable students to put their knowledge into practice, enhance their learning experience and develop key skills such as co-creation, project management and collective intelligence.
One of the characteristics of the English taught e-commerce specialisation is that certain classes are given by professors from different disciplines, such as strategy or marketing, allowing for a dual perspective and a more contextualised approach to a given topic. Students are encouraged to obtain certification, from Google, for example, to increase their employability. Some 30% of e-commerce students go abroad for their final six-month placement, to Canada, the US, Australia, Asia, and so on.

Working for the environment has fascinated me. These 6 months have been rich in project development but also in event organisation. Moreover, one of my missions focused on communicating information related to the environment and the protection of resources on different platforms. I also collected and analysed data concerning energy and waste. Finally, the aspect of the internship that interested me the most was the creation of a circular economy with one of the private actors of the island. My desire to work in the sustainable development sector was confirmed after this first experience.

I studied in New York City at Pace University (GMC) for one semester. I was able to choose a "fashion marketing" elective class, which became my favourite class to attend. Our professor invited many VIP guest speakers in class to share their knowledge and experience with us. It was a true source of inspiration and motivation to pursue my career in this marketing field. I also enjoyed our “Entrepreneurship” course. We had the chance and the honour to learn from Professor Bruce Bachenheimer. We learned a lot about taking opportunities, how to see the value in tiny things, and how to take the plunge to build a business.

I chose to do my academic exchange in Italy for the international reputation of Bocconi. Before my departure, the Study Abroad Office (SAO) of EDHEC helped me with my application, my ERASMUS scholarship request, and my choice of courses. Also, during the Beyond Borders fair, I received advice from EDHEC students who did an exchange in Italy in the past. At Bocconi, I studied with other exchange students from prestigious international schools and I could truly identify as a Bocconi student thanks to the events and activities happening on campus.
