Student Associations

EDHEC is distinguished by the importance given on its campuses to community involvement.

Join a dynamic and committed community

 

Each year, our campuses welcome students from the most diverse backgrounds. This diversity makes EDHEC the best business school for an education that is enriching, highly personalised, globally oriented and connected to the needs of our society. We consider community life to be a fundamental element, and voluntary work is an important part of this.

 

With over 100 associations, EDHEC is one of the schools with the strongest commitment to voluntary work. Through your involvement, you will develop skills that are useful for your personal and professional development, such as self-confidence, a sense of community and adaptability.

Community involvement, a springboard for the future

 

Passion, commitment, team spirit and diversity. This is undoubtedly what best characterises EDHEC's community life. In addition to academic excellence, particular importance is attached to the personal experiences acquired throughout the programme, such as community involvement.

 

EDHEC has one of the richest and most dynamic associative networks in France, with more than 100 associations on a wide variety of themes. From sport to humanitarian work, the arts to finance, music to business services, it will be hard not to find a project that suits you and that you will want to get involved in.

 

It is with other students who share your values and desires that you will be impelled to carry out projects throughout the year.

 

This work and commitment testify to the entrepreneurial spirit of EDHEC students, and you will develop numerous skills while acquiring concrete professional experience, which will be valued and put to use throughout your career.

 

EDHEC's associations enjoy a national and even international reputation, and many of them have received awards, such as here with the ranking of the best student associations in France, carried out by the consulting firm ANEO and the Teewi agency, or have been praised for their initiatives in the media.

 

To best support your ideas and projects, you can count on the full support of the EDHEC teams, who offer a wide range of services and support solutions.We want our graduates to be proud of the work they have accomplished and to have all the skills they need to feel confident about their future.
