Esdes Business School

A PRO-ACTIVE BUSINESS SCHOOL

For over 35 years, the École Supérieure pour le Développement Économique et Social (Higher Institute for Economic and Social Development - Esdes) has been preparing students and professionals through its teaching and research to create sustainable values in a globalised and digital world. Through this support, Esdes contributes to the emergence of a responsible economy driven by its employees, partners, alumni and students.

That is why Esdes is committed to the PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education). This program aims to measure the School’s impact on society by reflecting on its own role. Esdes’ aim: to enable responsibility and sustainable development to gain ground in corporate culture.

A BUSINESS SCHOOL WITHIN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY UNIVERSITY

Esdes is the business school of UCLy (Catholic University of Lyon). The School benefits from the resources and facilities of an international university, with two campuses in Lyon and Annecy, and exchanges between the 6 faculties and 5 professional schools. These offer Esdes students original gateways to skills that complement their management courses. The result: unique profiles that are highly sought-after by businesses.

A SCHOOL FIRMLY ROOTED IN ITS REGION

The School has forged partnerships with all the major companies and professional networks: MEDEF, CPME, DCF, etc. Lyon has become a favourite destination for students and investors alike, and is one of the best places to live and work: fertile ground for a host of opportunities. The town of Annecyis ideal for those in search of wide open spaces, sporty types or those in need of a breath of fresh air.

Choosing ESDES means embarking on a professional project that reflects your personality: the best springboard to a fulfilling career.
