[edit] The three campuses

The main campus is based in Lyon, completed since September 2007 by the new campus based in Geneva, centered on Luxury Management and Marketing. This new campus should offer within the coming years programs in private banking and international organizations^[3]

For many years EMLYON has developed partnerships with Chinese universities such as Fudan University^[4] or CEIBS^[5] in Shangai. A "Master en Administration des Affaires de Canton"(Master of Business Administration) in collaboration with the "Université Lyon-III"(Jean Moulin University Lyon 3)and the Lingnan College (part of the Sun Yat-sen University)was launched in 1997. It is a fully french speaking Master, which has been awarded in 2004 by the Chinese Ministry of Education ^[6]. EMLYON has opened an office in Shangai in 2000 and a new campus in September 2007 ^[7] inside the campus of the East China Normal University.
