The International MBA (IMBA) at emlyon business school is both highly ranked in France and internationally across the world. It is a triple-accredited MBA program and attracts participants from countries on almost every continent (we've never had a participant from Antarctica!). The program is attractive because it is customizable and students can choose their own specializations depending on their own career goals and aspirations. There are also international trips organized in the program to give students the ability to meet global business professionals and experience other cultures. The program also features the choice between a New Venture Project, where students can work on launching their own entreprenurial idea, or the Entrepreneurial Consulting Project where students g Project allows you to choose a topic or company in line with their professional goals or from a list of exciting company project briefs.

This program is an 11-month, full-time MBA program which means that participants cannot continue to work while studying. Most participants take a brief break from their job in order to accomplish their degree, and others use it as an opportunity to quit their current job industry and reconvert to another. Furthermore, the International MBA program is based in Lyon, France and requires participants to temporarily relocate near the campus to be in-person for classes and other learning experiences.

Lyon is the 3rd largest city in France, considered to be the "gastronomic capital of the world," a major economic hub, a thriving center for entrepreneurs around the globe, and the first-choice city for installing a French HQ for international companies. It is also a university cluster with a flourishing 150,000+ students. It is home to numerous company headquarters and world-renowned international companies (such as Interpol and Euronews). Its areas of expertise and competitiveness tends to resolve around biotechnologies and healthcare, the environment, and digital entertainment (including video games, cinema, audiovisual production, animation, and interactive media). With an international airport and trainstation within easy access, great public transportation, and a location inbetween the Alps and the Mediterranean, it's no wonder why people love Lyon!
