From her time at ESDES, Victoire remembers…

The taste for teamwork and the spirit of cooperation: she remembers Fabienne Gautrot and Laura Servant Volquin who knew how to share their passion for marketing. Now she uses the project management and teamwork skills she first experienced in class at ESDES on a daily basis.

What our MSc graduates have to say

I chose Esdes over other business schools in France, for an MSc in Circular Economy, because after reviewing each school’s courses, Esdes was the only school that provides a 360° view of sustainability and Circular Economy

Qinisani Qali Ndlovu

Student in MSc Circular economy and sustainable innovation

I decided to apply at Esdes for three mains reasons:
  • I am in the field of circular economy
  • the latest rankings achievement by the school convinced me to apply at Esdes Business School.
  • the values of the Catholic University of Lyon and Esdes.
As an entrepreneur in the field of plastic recycling I feel, the program is enhancing my business skills while increasing the depth of my circular economy knowledge.

Lucas Patricot

Cofounder of Faume (alumni 2012)

I co-created Faume in 2020, allowing big fashion brands that we all love to propose a “second-hand” service. Faume takes care of all the operational complexity of the refurbishing supply chain in order to give brands the possibility to communicate on their offer. In one year, more than 20 brands have joined us. By 2022, the company will accelerate its international development. For us, the circular economy is a pillar of green growth.

MASTER’S STUDENT SPECIALIZING IN MANAGEMENT, HUMANITIES AND INNOVATION

I chose this specialization so that I could continue studying philosophy while opening doors to the business world, with the aim of learning to apply philosophical theories and concepts to management.

All the subjects in management and business offer high-quality, demanding classes, taught by excellent teachers, reviewed and developed in depth, and combined with the main philosophical theories.

After my work-study placement at MacAnders, a large Parisian headhunting firm, I would like to work in managerial positions: managing people and being able to draw on my philosophy and psychology classes, as well as my management classes this year, so that I can apply the “management of tomorrow” that we have envisioned!
