LIBS — Lyon International Business School — is the English-taught international school of the Groupe École de Commerce de Lyon (ÉCOLE DE COMMERCE - BSF). One mission: business education, delivered entirely in English, in the centre of Lyon, for students whose careers will cross borders.
What we do
A complete 5-year cycle in international business — the Bachelor in International Business (3 years) and the Mastère in International Management (2 years) — taught 100% in English, with free French classes, a measured language framework, and four intakes a year. Students enrol at École de Commerce de Lyon and receive the school's diploma with a LIBS international specialisation — terms confirmed in writing before enrolment.
Who we serve
Two publics, one classroom: international students — from Asia, the Americas, the Commonwealth and across Europe — who want a European business degree without needing French first; and French students who choose a 100% English-taught cursus because their careers point beyond France. The mix is deliberate: the cohort itself is part of the curriculum.
How we work
In writing
Admission decisions, diploma terms, costs: confirmed in writing before you commit. Clarity is a service.
Measured, not declared
Language levels are tested, practised daily and assessed yearly — outcomes you can prove, not adjectives.
Landing included
The Concierge Desk handles visa guidance, housing and arrival for international students.
