ESDES Lyon Business School
France

ESDES was born more than 30 years ago within the Lyon Catholic University (UCLy), a 140-year-old multidisciplinary university (law, economics, science, humanities, etc.)
Ideally located in the center of Lyon, ESDES benefits from a dynamic economic environment and, being within the 1st industrial region in France, offers many internship and employment opportunities, at the heart of Europe.
ESDES is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE), a consortium bringing together the top 40 French Business Schools.
ESDES delivers a Master Degree (graduate program) which is recognized and awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research as well as a 3-year Bachelor Degree (undergraduate program), which both welcome French and international students.
Both programs give the chance to follow the entire curriculum in English, go abroad in one of 130+ partner universities and have hands-on experience through various internship opportunities.
The 360 Pedagogy combines management methods and tools, development of managerial skills, and general culture & multiculturalism.
ESDES students benefit from a very personalized approach to career counselling, from the very first day they arrive on campus.
Thanks to this individualized career advising, a recent study shows that 75% of our students find a job before graduation (90% find a job in less than 3 months).
As we offer very diverse specializations (13 in total) career opportunities are very varied. Recent positions held by our alumni include: Brand Manager, CFO, chartered accountant, asset manager, projects manager, business developer, consultant, HR director, supply chain manager, country risk manager, marketing manager, sales director, corporate lawyer…
In July 2015, ESDES moved to the brand new campus. The former prison of Lyon was transformed to the high-tech equipped university campus Saint Paul. The campus is ideally located in the city center of Lyon.
35 000 sq. m includes:
· Amphitheaters
· IT department and computer rooms
· Educational Facilities
· Exposition halls
· Student’s Cafeteria

The Lyon Catholic University has a second campus located 10 minutes by walk from campus Saint Paul.
