On 16 April 2026, we welcomed professionals from across the globe to a Virtual Open Day dedicated to our Online MBA and portfolio of Online Master of Science (MSc) programs.
Bringing together around 80 ambitious participants seeking the right program to support their career progression, the event provided a valuable opportunity to explore our programs in depth, engage directly with alumni, and receive answers to their key questions. Attendees also had the opportunity to apply for a merit-based scholarship offering up to 40% tuition support.
Julien Deslangle, Online International Programs Director, commented on the value of the event:
“This event was a great opportunity for us to present our portfolio of international online programs and debunk a few myths about online learning. From the questions participants asked and the discussions we had, we were delighted to see their strong interest in our learning-by-doing approach and in the flexibility our programs offer.”
Exchanging insights and exploring programs
The event began with an overview of EDHEC and its EDHEC Generations 2050 strategy. Participants then selected breakout sessions aligned with their interests, including:
- MSc Finance session
- MSc Data Management, International Business Management, and Strategic Marketing session
- Online MBA session
Each session was complemented by alumni exchanges, providing participants with first-hand insights from those who have experienced the programs.
This was reflected in the experience shared by Chidera Arum, Founder & Strategy Consultant and alumna of the Online MSc International Business Management:
“Coming from a commercial law background, the Online MSc International Business Management was a 360-degree stepping stone into a professional business career. The case-based learning made the experience seamless, and working through real-life scenarios alongside people from diverse professional backgrounds sharpened both my analytical thinking and ability to collaborate.”
These sessions were followed by a live Q&A, where attendees could gain further clarity on the admissions process, financing options, and scholarship opportunities.
Experiencing a live masterclass on cross-cultural business challenges
The event concluded with a masterclass titled “Cross-Cultural Differences: Competitive Advantage or Hidden Risk?”, delivered by Antony Giraud, Professor of International Business and Founder & Managing Director of AknaSphere SAS. This session offered participants a first-hand experience of EDHEC’s online teaching approach through a live, faculty-led masterclass focused on cross-cultural differences in an international business environment.
Understanding these differences is increasingly critical in today’s globalised context, where professionals must navigate diverse teams, markets, and communication styles, and where cultural dynamics can represent both a competitive advantage and a potential risk.
Your future starts here
If you’re a professional looking to upskill, meet the industry demands, and accelerate your career, an online program can unlock new opportunities and long-term growth.
This perspective is shared by Tracy Nassif, Performance Marketing Specialist and current participant in the Online MSc Strategic Marketing:
“If you are self-driven and looking to diversify your academic background, the Online MSc Strategic Marketing is a strong fit. It requires motivation, curiosity, and a willingness to learn and connect with others, while building a clear vision for your future.”
