ESDES

Part of the Catholic University of Lyon (UCLy), Esdes is one of the few business schools in France to practice interdisciplinarity. The school benefits from the resources and facilities of an international university, as well as from interactions with six faculties. 

The result is unique profiles with cross-disciplinary skills that are much sought-after by companies.

Esdes Business School is located in Lyon and Annecy, and is also a member of the CGE (Grandes Écoles  Association) and AACSB accredited ! 

Students can enter the school in the first year through Parcoursup and by taking the ACCES entrance exam for the Master in Management program. Additionally, applicants for the Bachelor in Business program can gain admission through an interview and file review. The school also offers a Winter Intake for staggered entry, allowing students to join in December and avoid waiting an entire academic year to start the program. Lastly, admissions are available for the second, third, and fourth years as well. International students are encouraged to contact our admissions service for specific information regarding the application process.

Studying abroad, engaging in work-study programs, participating in community life, and committing to civic responsibilities; the lives of Esdes students are designed to cultivate managers who can contribute to a better world.
