It will enable students to acquire dual skills in data and artificial intelligence as well as management, while benefiting from the ecosystems, alumni networks, and the exceptional campuses of both institutions.

King's Business School and EDHEC Business School announce joint undergraduate degree, offering a unique learning opportunity in Europe
EDHEC Business School and King’s Business School announce a new joint undergraduate degree focused on business data analytics and AI. One of a few programmes of its kind in Europe, it offers a double degree award from two leading European management institutions, combining teaching, experiential learning, and internships in Lille and London.
The International Business Analytics and Management BSc is a four-year programme taught entirely in English that responds to the challenges of geopolitical instability and technological disruption. It aims to give students the global mindset and cultural intelligence they need to navigate a shifting landscape, along with strategic thinking, deep analytical and technical fluency and the tools to transition business to a more sustainable model. Graduates of the programme will benefit from immersion in two cultures and business ecosystems and will have access to alumni networks and industries in the UK and France. The first cohort will arrive on the King’s campus in September 2026.
A degree that offers the best in business education in Europe
Students will spend their initial two years in London, focusing on the foundations of business, management, and data analytics. At King’s Business School, the business faculty of King’s College London, students will collaborate with peers from across the campus by participating in a wide range of extracurricular activities. London will serve as a living classroom, offering experiential learning opportunities, visits, and classroom speakers from a vast array of industries.
During the second half of the degree programme, students will move to the EDHEC campus in Lille, with the opportunity to specialise in areas such as finance, strategy, or marketing, in line with their individual interests and career aspirations. On the Lille campus, students will enjoy a large, biodiverse park, a gym with a pool, and numerous student clubs and activities.
This double degree programme combines academic excellence and business experience, with a mandatory 10-month internship period (spread out over the third and fourth years). At the end of the programme, students will obtain two degrees: a Bachelor of Science from King's College London and an EDHEC International BBA.
At the signing ceremony for the agreement formalizing the creation of this dual degree, Emmanuel Métais, EDHEC’s dean, said:
Professor Stephen Bach, Executive Dean, King’s Business School, commented:
We are excited about bringing together two great schools and deepening our partnership with EDHEC. The programme addresses the great challenge of today: how to develop graduates who have the combined technical and human skills to analyse, shape and implement strategy effectively in an unpredictable global context.
