“Finance professions have undergone significant change over the course of the last few years. Internationalisation and digitalisation have become an important part of corporate finance.

“In creating this EDHEC Corporate Finance online certificate, we looked to combine EDHEC’s high academic standards and business expertise with the possibilities made available through digital learning. I wished to provide a training program that would allow attendees to understand finance in a way that was both enjoyable and demystified. This is why, rather than building around highly academic concepts, I wanted to make it very operational by inviting participants to put themselves in the shoes of an investor looking to fund their best friend’s company, and thus learn to ask the right questions and explore and understand new concepts through a story based on actual practices.” Christel RATHLE, Admissions Director EDHEC Online

A program with an international perspective

For many industry players, enterprise strategic decisions are no longer confined to a national scale. Digitalisation provides the various stakeholders with access to information on international markets and competitors. Likewise, financial flows are not limited by the concept of national territories.

This is the reason why this certificate in corporate finance is designed from a resolutely international perspective.
To help you grasp the international issues surrounding corporate finance, this training course is taught entirely in English, and is accessible from whatever country you may live in. It also offers you the opportunity to communicate and create working groups with participants from different countries in order to experience the multicultural aspects of your profession.

Once you have passed the final exam, you have the opportunity to continue your international training by enrolling in the EDHEC Online Master of Science in International Business Management.

“Today, financial decisions require a solid understanding of the international environment. A decision made in Beijing can, in a matter of hours, impact a company located in Rome or Warsaw. We have given this certificate program a resolutely international perspective in order to bring students as close as possible to the actual practices of our professions.” Philippe FOULQUIER, Professor of the EDHEC Corporate Finance Online Certificate
