Online degrees offer an accessible mode of education that allows students from all over the world to gain qualifications without the need to attend a physical campus. This mode of education uses digital platforms to deliver course content, allowing participants to study in a way that suits their lifestyle.
The fundamental structure of online degrees typically involves accessing a virtual learning environment. This platform can take many forms. It usually includes all the resources necessary for your studies, such as assignments and all documentation. Lectures may be in the form of pre-recorded videos, but at EDHEC Business School, we base our curriculum exclusively on live sessions, to make your learning experience more interactive. You will also have access to our Virtual Campus with videos, written resources, quizzes, instructional activities, etc. You will also have access to a dedicated chatroom where you can interact with fellow participants and the academic team.
Indeed, interaction is a key component of online degrees. You will take part in live discussions and work on group projects, with the same collaborative mindset found in traditional classrooms. You will develop a sense of community with other participants, regardless of distance.
Online education offers adapted assessments, such as exams, which are conducted through digital platforms, under strict conditions to ensure academic integrity. EDHEC Business Schools also offer innovative solutions to enhance your learning experience, with!
Adaptive learning (using AI to personalise your experience according to your profile and career needs),
Micro-learning (based on short engaging content suitable for mobile learning),
Social learning (community and interaction in online education to ensure you are not isolated during the programme)…
Of course, flexibility is one of the main advantages of online programmes. You can access your course material whenever and wherever you want. If you have a lot of commitments, such as family or your current job, this is the perfect solution for you.

EDHEC Business School offers a wide range of online degrees that have been carefully designed to meet the specific needs and aspirations of working professionals who want to improve their skills and achieve their goals. Our programmes are designed to challenge and engage you in different aspects of management and business.
The perceived difficulty of an online degree depends on your background, skills and personal interests. For example, someone with experience in finance may find the MSc in Corporate Finance more accessible, while a professional with a strategic focus may be better suited to our MBA or Certificate in Advanced Strategic Management. As for the tech-savvy, they might feel more at home with our MSc in Data Management & Business Analytics.
In addition, our distance learning programmes are designed not only to provide new skills, but also to transform careers. All programmes require commitment and dedication. What may be easier for one person may be more challenging for another, depending on prior knowledge, learning style, etc.
Choosing the right programme should therefore be about matching your professional goals and personal interests with the curriculum, rather than looking for the easiest one. EDHEC Business School encourages professionals to reflect on what they are passionate about and what they want to achieve through their online education. Taking the time to do this and setting a clear objective will help you choose the right programme and make your learning experience more intuitive and easier.
There is no definitive answer as to which online degree is the easiest to obtain. Each programme has its own set of challenges and requires work and dedication.
The program content is divided into modules. For each module, a set of deliverables is usually required, to be completed individually or in groups.
On the virtual campus, you have access to weekly interactive online classes, workshops and discussions via Slack messaging. Our participants are also required to work in groups on a collaborative project throughout the program.
Compatible with tablets and mobiles, the online campus is accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
