EDHEC Business School expands in Asia

EDHEC Business School is to expand into Singapore, Asia. Singapore is regarded as a hub for research and education in Asia, as well as being the second financial marketplace in the region, it is therefore seen as the ideal city in which to develop EDHEC Business School’s activities in this region.

In collaboration with the CFA Institute, EDHEC Risk Institute now organises its Advances in Asset Allocation Seminar in Singapore. Furthermore, from 2011, EDHEC-Risk Institute will also start offering its PhD in Finance in Singapore. The programme's geographic expansion will allow EDHEC to better serve demand from the Asia-Pacific region, provide all candidates with more options, and strengthen the programme’s global positioning. It will also mean fewer hours spent in transit for PhD in Finance candidates based in the region, who currently make up close to one-third of those on the executive track.

The same programme will be delivered from both locations - Nice (France) and Singapore - and much will be done to maximise exchanges between all candidates. Although those joining the programme in Singapore in 2011 will be able to take all of their courses locally, they will also have the opportunity to take elective seminars in Europe. Likewise, those joining in Europe in October 2010 will have the option to attend electives offered in Singapore. Moreover, all participants will have on-demand multimedia access to all courses and presentations given in Singapore, Nice, and London.

In addition, to the PhD programme, an Executive MSc in Risk and Investment will be offered in Singapore thus strengthening EDHEC position in the Asia-Pacific region.
