Campus Features
Campuses
- Bordeaux
The new Bordeaux campus has been designed to be a living space. Spread over 35,000 m2, it has dedicated work and chat rooms, and sports and relaxation areas. The campus in Bordeaux was designed taking into account the changing habits and preferences of today's students, and how those changes affect their living spaces.
- Marseille
KEDGE Business School continually invests in substantial logistics resources, both in terms of its educational infrastructures and cutting-edge technological resources. The campus in Marseille is divided between different sites: the Luminy campus nestled on the edge of the Calanques National Park, and the Joliette campus located in the heart of the city.
- Paris
In 2015, the group created a new establishment in Paris (12th arrondissement), a vibrant hub of activity where students, teaching staff and businesses can meet, exchange and interact. KEDGE made the decision to remain at the heart of the city in order to facilitate public mobility between its different sites, be near businesses, benefit from their dynamism and provide a high level of service.
- Toulon
Toulon campus is ideally located in the heart of the city, in the brand new “creativity and knowledge district” and across from the train station since January 2020.
- Shanghai
The main campus is located in the Xuhui district of Shanghai and is home to several educational institutions. The buildings demonstrate a mixture of American architectural influences with Chinese style. KEDGE has two campuses in Shanghai: the Shanghai Jiao Tong University campus and the campus within the Franco-Chinese Institute.
- Suzhou
The opening of the Suzhou campus in 2010 was part of an ongoing policy which began in 2003 to develop our activity in China, and more specifically to contribute to the creation of the Franco-Chinese Institute (Sino-French Institute) in partnership with Renmin University of China, one of the country’s most prestigious universities founded in Beijing in 1937.
- Dakar
KEDGE Business School in Dakar welcomes students since 2008. The campus is ideally located within the dynamic district of Sacré Cœur III. Dakar runs two higher education programmes, the KEDGE Bachelor course and a Master in Management, along with executive education programmes.
- Abidjan
The Abidjan campus opened its doors in September 2020, driven by the President of the BEM group already present in Dakar, Dr Pape Madické Diop. The school's ambition is to expand more widely on the African continent. The Business School, repeatedly named the best business school in French-speaking Africa by the magazine Jeune Afrique, offers initial and executive education programmes from Bachelor to Doctorate level.

Student Testimonials
"Employment pass to the international market"FANNY VANDENBERGEGroup purchasing & logistics manager chez Catering International & Services CIS
In the purchasing sector, the product is at the heart of the company's strategy with new challenges in terms of innovation and sustainability. The notions of quality and price are the fundamental elements of our jobs as buyers, and the third key is the time required to make the goods available.
Internationally, inbound or outbound logistics is therefore one of the components of the final price. It is a significant lever for optimisation and savings and requires mastery of all aspects, especially customs and legal. This learning process requires training.
In a world where 80% of international trade is carried out by sea, it is quite natural that I chose one of the best training courses in this field, "the Msc International Trade & Logistics". The training is very practical and provides the necessary theoretical basis for acquiring expertise in the field of international transport. It is also the access to a dynamic professional network with programmes such as mentoring that led me to the company I joined following the Master's degree.
Today, I am the purchasing and logistics manager for the Marseille-based group CIS, which generates 100% of its turnover internationally.
In this context, I was able to acquire and consolidate expertise in Africa, the Middle East, Eurasia and South America. I lead an international team with which we implement and manage the purchasing strategy in more than twenty countries.
