An educational ambition of excellence with an international dimension
By expanding its global network with most of triple-accredited institutions (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA), which are a guarantee of their teaching quality, emlyon business school is marking its position as an institution of excellence.
These new collaborations are the result of emlyon's efforts in line with its Resonances 2028 strategic plan, based on the pillar of openness and exchange, which aims to enable each student to act in connection with others, society and the world. This challenge is therefore implemented through the consolidation of emlyon's international attractiveness and dealing agreements with partners recognized for their educational excellence.
By creating and nurturing strong relationships with renowned academic partners around the world, we expand our students’ international experience and welcome many international profiles within our programs to promote the multiculturality of our teaching
An orientation that resonates with the contemporary challenges of the economic world
In response to the global geopolitical context, the creation or strengthening of cooperation between emlyon business school and several European schools is part of a desire to intensify exchanges within the European area and to preserve the pedagogical, cultural and human contribution provided by experiences abroad during the students' academic path while guaranteeing a constant high level of partners.
This orientation also allows them to evolve in various cultural contexts or different academic models, ranging from Latvia to Finland or Morocco, in order to acquire an understanding of different economic systems and to understand the dynamics of global trade but also to enrich their experience from a multi-local perspective.
In addition, this orientation towards Europe corresponds to a vision shared by the School as part of its environmental commitment and by its students, which aims to make travel responsible and encourage soft mobility modes. The challenge is therefore to limit the carbon impact while offering a high-quality international experience. This geographical refocusing, which includes institutions located in the Netherlands, Finland and Greece for example, makes it possible to promote responsible mobility that adapts to contemporary ecological issues.
