EDHEC’s partnership with the CFA Institute, the world’s largest association of investment professionals, provides access to various on-campus CFA resources. You can prepare for CFA Level I, the first stage of the renowned professional diploma, while completing your degree.

This partnership with CFA Institute underscores the close ties between EDHEC and the financial industry, highlighting the quality of EDHEC’s programmes and their relevance to business requirements.
