In 2013, KEDGE was founded from the merger of two renowned business schools, well-established in their respective regions and already benefiting from international outreach: BEM (Bordeaux Management School) in Bordeaux founded in 1874 and EUROMED Management in Marseilles founded in 1872.
The School has three Centres of Excellence in Marketing, the Supply Chain and CSR with five areas of Expertise: Wine & Spirits, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Health Management, Finance Reconsidered and Creative Industries & Culture. Coordination between advanced academic and applied Research, Initial Training and Executive Education courses and partnerships with companies and organisations boost KEDGE's influence on managerial practices in these areas.
The role of the research centre is to produce and share knowledge about the management of creative industries and culture.
KEDGE BS and its International Students Association Melting Potes offer every semester to International Students a pick-up service from “Bordeaux Mérignac (BOD)” airport and “Bordeaux Gare Saint Jean” train station.
The International Students Association Melting Potes supports the International Office in facilitating the integration of international students among the French students through the organization of activities all year round.
The Kedge Library (incorporating the libraries at Bordeaux, Marseilles and Toulon) offers its users a number of specialist information sources that are primarily focused on management: books, academic and professional reviews, students’ own work, publications by teaching staff, and various specialised databases.
Wellness is above all a philosophy of living. The concept means 'a personal feeling of well-being', and is therefore a global state of health. It covers the important things in life, but also daily trivialities that often make life exciting, and prevent it from becoming gloomy... Wellness is the importance of feeling comfortable in your skin and the idea that happiness is different for everyone.
The group created a new establishment in Paris' 9th arrondissement, a vibrant hub of activity where students, teaching staff and businesses can meet, exchange and interact.
The Bordeaux Campus Has Four Sports Areas
They are managed and run by the Sports Society, the Arts Society and Sports Supervisor Sébastien Debray. For obvious security reasons, students do not have free access to these rooms.
The Marseilles Luminy Campus Has Two Indoor Sports AreasThey are managed and run by the Sports Society, the Arts Society and Sports Supervisor Ludovic Chaix. For obvious security reasons, students do not have free access to these rooms. They can access the activities by following the appropriate registration procedures.
The Confederation acts as a link between the administration and the associations, but is also there to support members of the associations with legal, economic and organisational problems. The Confederation also deals with professionals, an accountant and a lawyer, who work with KEDGE’s associations, and meet each association at least once a year.
This dual expertise in education and research has earned it its status among the 1% of the world's business schools that are triple accredited by EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB.

A good school, and quite reasonably priced considering its quality. The professors are good, the campus is modern... However, some professors (who will remain anonymous) are simply bad. I recommend staying on campus for easier access.
I would recommend this school. There are many options available and plenty of international opportunities, which is great for international students. The environment is good and welcoming. Bordeaux is a very beautiful city. The campus is modern and fully equipped, and the staff are great.
I'm sure im not a special case at all, but I also try not to be extrahard on myself, I chose this school because I thougjht it was going to give me direction expertise and overall have a good heavy impact on my CV, I'm trying to make sense of all I did before i also knew it was coming with challenges like for example having people way younger than me in class, what I was not expecting is to have such a low effort atmosphere, overall, the campus was big, not the first one I have visited over the world, but I felt so irrelevant most of the days even when making an active desition to activeley move forward and keep going and push excelence at least for myself, at the end of the class perios I was exausted, feeling like maybe any other school would have been the same but cheaper as the return is not visible inmediately, I also wranted against the school like it is irresponsible of them to just accept people knwing for some is a big desition. But in the end, business is business, and i'm stil: hoping this diploma actually makes sense and has a positive impact other than giving me a valid student visa to work EXTRA HARD to land on a job.
