    "This business management programme, with courses like strategy and strategic foresight, is something very special. What also puts EDHEC ahead from other schools, in my feeling, is the consulting project pursued at the end of your Master’s, together with an institution. For me, it’s a big European asset manager that I do this project with."

What is the difference between an online degree in International Business Management and one attended in person?

Both delivery methods ensure the same level of academic excellence and personalised support. EDHEC Online MSc International Business Management 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, Top 10 Business School in Europe (Financial Times 2025) 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.

As with any graduation from a program attended in person, EDHEC Business School holds official graduation ceremonies for its online diplomas, at one of its campuses, to bring together the participants and pedagogical teams that have contributed to their learning and their online experience.

Will my degree say "Online?"

Your online degree will be delivered by EDHEC Business School without any mention of the online delivery format.

After your MSc in International Business Management, you can start your career in positions such as: Business developer / Business Development Manager, Strategy & Operations Manager, Business Analyst, Strategic project leader, etc

Are MBAs and MSc in Business Management the same programs?

The choice between a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Science in International Business Management depends on your career goals and your educational background. Both are prestigious degrees delivered by business schools that focus on different areas of expertise. An MBA is usually designed to develop skills across all areas of business (management, finance, marketing, HR, etc.) and emphasises practical managerial skills. The program is suited for professionals who wish to reach leadership positions or to start their own business.

An MSc in International Business Management offers specialised knowledge focused on international business operations (macroeconomics, supply chain, driving an organisation in a global business environment, etc.). This is the ideal program for those who are interested in roles that require a deep understanding of international markets, cultural awareness and global strategies.

Your career path after graduation will reflect the skills you have acquired. After an MBA, your broad management skills will prepare you for a wide range of business management roles, executive positions or entrepreneurial initiatives. On the other hand, an MSc in International Business Management will make you particularly well-suited to roles in international business development, global project management, where knowledge of global business is crucial.

The educational and professional requirements for each program are different. An MBA usually requires applicants to have significant experience, as the coursework deals with high-level business problems. An MSc in International Business Management, on the other hand, is more accessible to professionals who have recently started their careers and want to develop specialised skills, especially if they are starting or changing careers.

The choice between an MBA and an Online MSc has to be made in accordance with your background and professional goals. Each degree has its own advantages and serves different ambitions, making them valuable in their respective fields.
