What’s the difference between an online certificate and one attended in person?

Both delivery methods ensure the same level of academic excellence and personalised support. An EDHEC Online Master of Science offers the same high-quality knowledge and skills to their participants as the traditional on-campus programmes.

While on-campus programmes are delivered through in-person classes, online programmes leverage advanced digital platforms to reach learners globally.

Online programmes use two different formats: asynchronous and synchronous learning. Asynchronous classes provide flexibility, allowing students to access course materials and complete assignments at their own pace. Synchronous classes require students to attend virtual sessions at scheduled times, enabling real-time interaction with professors, mentors, coaches, and classmates from anywhere. EDHEC online programs combine both elearning types: synchronous activities with weekly live classes and real-time messaging between participants, professors and coaches, and high-quality asynchronous content by following an approach founded on user experience and gamification.

You will receive a diploma from EDHEC, a Business School ranked 7th in Europe (Financial Times 2023 ranking) with triple accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA). This guarantees the academic excellence of the programmes, the expertise of the teaching staff, as well as its close ties to businesses.

How much time should I spend on an e-learning course?

We recommend dedicating 7 to 9 hours of work towards it per week.

Maintaining a work-life balance is essential and will help to ensure learners get the most out of their course. Our training courses are designed so that learners can adjust their workload to align with their personal situation.
One benefit of remote work is that learners can fit it into their personal and professional lives.
