“One of the things that made emlyon stand out among top international business schools is that they really focus on entrepreneurship. They have their own incubation center in the school—you can actually go there and talk to people if you want to start [your] own business.” 

Class of 2017-2018

"I was working as a data analyst at a startup back in India, and I found that it’s really essential nowadays to actually equip yourself with all the business tools. That was my motivation because that is what is going to help fulfil my future aspirations - an MBA is essential to give you a broader picture. emlyon has helped me so much. I’m an Indian who studied in France who’s now working in Germany"

Interview with Dr. Lauren Keating

Dr. Lauren Keating, Assistant Professor at emlyon business school, arrived in Lyon from Sydney, Australia in 2018. Since completing her Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and Management at UNSW Sydney, she has taught Organizational Behavior in the International MBA and MSc in Management programs, as well as Leadership Development for the European Triple Degree.

I am proud to be in the world's most diversified MBA class with more than 30 nationalities in our 63-member cohort. Ranked the top 50 business schools worldwide by Financial Times. Extremely hard work but very rewarding!

Here are some of the highlights from the year so far – and we still have 3 months to go!

When you choose to move from a country such as India with a population almost double that of the entire continent where you are continuing your studies, you should be prepared for quite a shock. Not so for Anupaul Debnath, for whom the contrast was an opportunity above all else. He recounts his very conscious search for the intimacy and diversity of Europe, France and Lyon and his current city of residence and work, Berlin.
