Global BBA & MSc in International Hospitality Management

Phuong Dang

Many students look for a program that gives them practical skills, international exposure, and real career options. This is what Phuong Dang, a student from Vietnam, found at emlyon business school. After building solid management foundations with the Global BBA and then specializing in hospitality through the MSc in International Hospitality Management, she transitioned smoothly into Vietnam’s leading hospitality group and now holds a key leadership role.

Global BBA

Paul Simonin

In the face of an unprecedented wave of business transfers and failures, the association Prévention & Retournement (P&R) and emlyon business school formalize a partnership to strengthen the training of future leaders. Together, they commit to preparing them for the challenges of the coming decade: acquisition, succession, and entrepreneurial recovery.

The MSc in International Hospitality Management, co-delivered by emlyon business school and Institut Lyfe, gives students a direct understanding of how today’s hospitality industry operates. The program combines academic insight with field learning, industry projects, and international exposure—helping students build the mindset and skills needed to start impactful careers.

This approach came to life during the program’s international seminar in London in November, where students immersed themselves in one of the world’s most vibrant hospitality ecosystems.
