Whatever you do... do it better, aiming the future.

EDC Paris continues a long tradition of enterprise training dispensed by entrepreneurs with the conviction that in-company experience is the best kind of management training. The school therefore provides in-company missions supervised by our permanent lecturing staff right from the first year. Each of these missions is dedicated to a specific issue confronting the project sponsor or company chief executive. A panel of lecturers and company directors appraises the work.

EDC Paris is aimed at those who wish to follow advanced level school education by training in general management with personalized tutoring. It’s the  Business school for those who want to undertake concrete studies while preparing for a master’s degree. EDC Paris is ideal for any young student who wants a quick involvement in the international dimension that lasts throughout their studies, while effectively preparing their entry into a professional career.

With its permanent teaching staff of recognized lecturer-researchers and nearly 150 casual lecturers, all high level professionals, EDC Paris is a sound choice among the many French “Grandes Ecoles”. The school endeavours to keep its theoretical and practical training relevant to real company requirements. Drawing on the resources of “Force EDC,” our former students network, 85% of our graduates find a job within three months of completing their studies and over 13% extend their studying by following complementary training. For those attracted by sports management or by the luxuries industry, the EDC Paris offers two others programmes, “Sup de Luxe” and “Sports Management School”. 

EDC has set up exchange schemes with over 50 universities grade institutions worldwide. The selectivity and variety of the studies on offer are what set our international offering apart. We accept only sound destinations that guarantee individual tutoring to our students, allowing them to undertake coursework that can be validated as counting toward their degree. They can also continue their international experience with in-company training in the host country. Ten or so of the institutions hosting our students study semesters enjoy EQUIS or AACSB international accreditation.

In its general management course, the school promotes the entrepreneurial approach starting in the first master’s year (4th year). A selective business start-up competition takes place each year for our students, organized by EDC Capital investment fund. This provides financial backing to the best new business and business takeover projects.

In a nutshell, EDC offers students what they are looking for, individual tutoring and the promise of a well-prepared and successful professional future.
