Alice is from Lyon and is passionate about the advertising business. So she naturally chose to specialize in marketing when the time came to choose her Master’s degree at ESDES.

Margaux Perrin
BACHELOR STUDENT
My favorite thing about ESDES is the diversity of the faculty: international staff, professionals, research professors, coaches…
ESDES is committed to professionalization, cultural diversity on campus, providing an international outlook, a dynamic student experience – especially involvement in associations – and good infrastructure and facilities… All the ingredients to make sure our time at ESDES is a success!
Célio M.
2nd year International Supply Chain Management Master Student
After my degree, I can confirm the program provided essential analytical skills for navigating the volatile business world, emphasizing cultural impact on decision-making and cross-border expansion. Taught by qualified professors and a supportive coordinator, it’s the only Lyon Catholic University and Esdes program with a truly multicultural class. After three years, I’ve made friends on every continent.

A graduate of the IAE of Lyon’s Master’s program, he is now Coordinator of the Master’s Specialization in Industrial Management and Engineering.

Montabert
Lionel Goyet, HRD
Montabert has been committed for several years now in a circular economy scheme, such as the creation of an internal department for the “remanufacturing” of its own products, in Lyon and for Montabert in the United States. The MSc Circular Economy and Sustainable innovation will allow our teams to consolidate their achievements but also to widen their knowledge.
From my point of view, as a HR Manager, it’s a great advantage to hire candidates with this additional education, given our new ecological and economic stakes.
