*The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked EDHEC 2nd in the world in this year's worldwide ranking of full-time MBA programmes in the category "Potential to Network". (The Economist, 29th September 2007).
The world is changing at an unprecedented rate, providing new opportunities for ambitious professionals who are ready to react. The Theseus-EDHEC MBA is founded on the conviction that tomorrow's managers can no longer be satisfied with traditional management knowledge. They must also have a deep understanding of the human side of business. Managers have to be fully aware of all the different roles and responsibilities the enterprise must encompass in the newly developing world, over and above the inevitable need for profit. Therefore, the Theseus-EDHEC MBA programme aims to transmit not only its management know-how but also its capacity for reflection and discernment about the world of business.
Twenty years ago, the Theseus-EDHEC MBA was already considered an innovator with its original focus on information technologies and knowledge management. Today, it continues to innovate, with a unique programme that offers a life-changing experience and one which acts as a valuable red thread in the complex labyrinth of the business world."

It is the ideal programme for professionals who wish to give a stagnating career a boost or for those with a specialised background who want to develop general management know-how or even move to another field. Its insistence on personal development also encourages entrepreneurial drive in those thinking of starting up their own company.
The same MBA can be followed on a modular basis, with a schedule tailored to combine company obligations and coursework, allowing participants to continue working while completing their MBA over 2-3 years.
A much appreciated feature in Theseus-EDHEC MBA programme is the Global Business Module, where participants attend two, week-long business trips in countries such as India, Poland and Turkey to gain an insight to the true potential of developing economies. Another differentiating factor is the programme's insistence on new visions and new ambitions which encourages participants to evolve and set higher personal goals.
In short, the Theseus-EDHEC MBA has been described by alumni as "a life changing experience."
