Campus Features
Campuses
- Bordeaux
The new Bordeaux campus has been designed to be a living space. Spread over 35,000 m2, it has dedicated work and chat rooms, and sports and relaxation areas. The campus in Bordeaux was designed taking into account the changing habits and preferences of today's students, and how those changes affect their living spaces.
- Marseille
KEDGE Business School continually invests in substantial logistics resources, both in terms of its educational infrastructures and cutting-edge technological resources. The campus in Marseille is divided between different sites: the Luminy campus nestled on the edge of the Calanques National Park, and the Joliette campus located in the heart of the city.
- Paris
In 2015, the group created a new establishment in Paris (12th arrondissement), a vibrant hub of activity where students, teaching staff and businesses can meet, exchange and interact. KEDGE made the decision to remain at the heart of the city in order to facilitate public mobility between its different sites, be near businesses, benefit from their dynamism and provide a high level of service.

- Suzhou
The opening of the Suzhou campus in 2010 was part of an ongoing policy which began in 2003 to develop our activity in China, and more specifically to contribute to the creation of the Franco-Chinese Institute (Sino-French Institute) in partnership with Renmin University of China, one of the country’s most prestigious universities founded in Beijing in 1937.
