ESDES

A leading business and management school, located in Lyon and Annecy, member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and AACSB accredited ! 

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, with two campuses, in Lyon and Annecy, and exchanges between 6 faculties and 5 professional schools. 

The result: unique profiles with cross-disciplinary skills, much sought-after by companies.

Students can enter the school in 1st year, via Parcoursup (and via the Concours ACCES entrance exam for the Programme Grande Ecole or via an interview and file review for the Bachelor in Business program). It is also possible to join the school during the 1st year, thanks to the Winter Intake (staggered entry), but also through parallel admissions in 2nd, 3rd and 4th years.

Going abroad, work-study programs, community life, civic commitment... the lives of Esdes students are designed to train managers capable of contributing to a better world.
