As part of the MBA-project module, participants in the Theseus-EDHEC MBA Programme can opt to complete their course with a consulting project at a client's site. This Consulting Project, conducted under the supervision of an EDHEC faculty member, enables students to apply their new-found MBA knowledge and knowledge gained from prior work experience to a meaningful and relevant activity. Projects are sponsored by business organisations, and provide a service to the firms involved as well as an opportunity for MBA participants to learn.
Given that MBA participants typically put in 60 hours of work per week, each participant is expected to invest some 480 hours in the project. In a typical team of 4 participants, the amount of time devoted to a project may total around 1920 hours.
Although EDHEC Business School is based in France, non-French participants generally represent more than 85% of the class. With an average age of 32, MBA participants are individuals with significant professional experience (5 to 10 years), recognized for their leadership potential. With 22 nationalities in the current class, MBA participants come from around the globe.

Direct Channels 2007
The Theseus-EDHEC MBA students offered precise insights on multiple strategic projects for the airline e-commerce division of Amadeus. They showed a continuous professionalism in their approach, dedication to the project and were a great pleasure to work with. The quality of the final deliverables exceeded my expectations and the outcome of the project will certainly allow Amadeus to accelerate its business."
Olivier Ernst (Switzerland) MBA student 2007/2008
Sponsor company: EDF Energy - UK
I was part of a 6-member team that was sponsored in London by the leading French energy group. We were given an extremely challenging mission which involved the merger of former branches to create a centre of excellence for networks. It was a pretty impressive mission to undertake as it involved 5000 employees and 1300 agency staff in 193 sites across an area covering almost 30000 km2. It really was a great learning experience as it demanded the bringing together of all the skills I learned in the MBA programme such as strategy, analysis, correlation, business modelling, people management and communication skills.
