What is the difference between an MSc in Corporate Finance completed online and one that is attended in person?
Online programs use two different formats: asynchronous and synchronous learning. Asynchronous courses 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 e-learning 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.
EDHEC is a Top 10 Business School in Europe (Financial Times 2025 ranking) with triple accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA). This guarantees academic excellence of all of our programs, the expertise of the teaching staff, as well as the school’s close ties to leading global businesses. Upon completion of an EDHEC Online program, we hold official graduation ceremonies at one of our campuses.
