A strong focus on ENTREPRENEURSHIP
EMLYON Business School is recognised as the European frontrunner in the field of Entrepreneurship, which shows particularly within the International MBA programme. The capacity to identify opportunities, take initiatives and to get things done is what makes successful entrepreneurial leaders in today’s global business environment. Throughout this programme, participants not only learn how to identify interesting business opportunities but acquire the competencies they need to exploit them profitably.

A year-long CONSULTING PROJECT
Students participating in the International MBA need a tangible way within a real business setting to acquire the skills they need to complement their existing skill set. This is the reason why the International MBA programme includes a year-long consulting project; the Entrepreneurial Leadership Project (ELP). Based on their competency profile, participants select a project and team that complement their learning needs. Working on the project throughout the year allows students to immediately put academic knowledge into practise, while concentrating on their unique learning needs.

International MBA students benefit from studying, living and working with professionals from around the globe, thus enhancing their ability to work with and lead international and intercultural teams. The selection process for International MBA participants ensures that the group is as diverse as possible, both in terms of nationalities as well as in professional backgrounds.
