EDHEC Business School was founded in 1906 by entrepreneurs from the North of France. "EDHEC" is originally an acronym for the French "École des Hautes Etudes Commerciales du Nord" or “School of Higher Education in Business Administration from the North”. Motte Duthoit, leading textile manufacturer and mayor of Roubaix, France, purchased the land known as “La Campagne” on which EDHEC headquarters currently stands. Following Motte Duthoit’s requirements, famous architect Gréber built a Manor house in the Anglo-Norman style at La Campagne. Formerly home of the Motte family, the Manor now serves as a training center for EDHEC Executive Education.

Today, EDHEC Business School is a leading French business school specializing in business, entrepreneurship, management, and innovation. EDHEC Business School has five campuses open to the world: Lille (main campus), Nice, London, Paris, and Singapore. EDHEC Business School offers undergraduate (International BBA), graduate (MiM and MSc) programs and has an extensive portfolio of executive education (Global MBA, Executive MBA, Ph.D. in Finance as well as a variety of open and custom and open programs).

In 2019, EDHEC has 8,600 students enrolled in traditional graduate and undergraduate programs, 245 exchange and double-degree agreements with the world’s foremost academic institutions and a network of more than 40,000 alumni in over 125 countries.
