The EDHEC Group is inaugurating its new Nice campus this Wednesday, December 18, in the presence of Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice and President of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, Eric Ciotti, President of the General Council of Alpes Maritimes, Richard Simonin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the EDHEC Group, and Olivier Oger, General Director of the EDHEC Group.
The 2013 term inaugurates the final phase of its establishment in Nice. The construction of the Nice campus buildings is completed after a year of work*.
The architectural program reflects the ambitions of the EDHEC Group: to position the Nice campus as a leader in internationalization and innovation.
An additional 5,000 m² spread over seven levels complete a 20,000 m² campus. The best tools are made available to students: e-learning equipment, learning center, videoconferencing rooms, co-working spaces…
A true laboratory for innovative pedagogies, the Nice campus trains future managers and leaders, whether they are young individuals in the EDHEC Grande Ecole or ESPEME programs, executives from local authorities or companies within the Advanced Management Cycle, or professionals through a high-quality program; the Global MBA.
The Learning Center is designed to reflect new ways of studying. Over several floors, there are educational and collaborative or individual workspaces, a connected library, a language lab, a trading room, sports facilities, a music room, as well as dining and relaxation areas.
The Nice campus is internationally recognized for its training and projects of excellence. Home to the EDHEC-Risk Institute, which has become one of the largest finance research centers in the world in 10 years, the programs of this Nice-based center have a global reach, from London to Singapore or New York. This is the case for the PhD in Finance, created in 2008, the Global MBA, and the Master of Science in Finance, ranked 4th worldwide by the Financial Times in 2013.
The ambition of the EDHEC Group is to be recognized for the impact of its research and training on businesses, through the innovative ideas and tools it offers them.
This strategy, called “EDHEC for Business,” is based on excellence in academic research, which is systematically disseminated within its programs (Masters of Science, PhD…), to the business world, and to society.
