Welcome to EMLV: a word from Dean Valérie Fernandes

EMLV places hybridization, international openness, and commitment at the heart of its model. A message from the Dean, Valérie Fernandes, highlights the ambitions of a school focused on technological, environmental, and societal transformations.

This positioning is part of a profound evolution in the work and skills expected in organizations.

National accreditations and degrees

EMLV’s Master in Management – Grande École Programme is accredited at the Bac+5 level, confers a Master’s degree, and has three major international accreditations: AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD Accredited Master.

This recognition establishes a high academic standard and guarantees alignment with international standards in management education.

The school also awards bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the national level, consolidating its place in the French business school landscape.

Hybridization: an educational foundation based on complementary expertise

Valérie Fernandes, rappelle que la singularité de l’EMLV repose sur l’hybridation. Sur un même campus, les élèves en management côtoient ceux de l’ESILV (ingénieurs) et de l’IIM (création et digital).

Valérie Fernandes points out that EMLV’s uniqueness lies in its hybridization. On the same campus, management students rub shoulders with those from ESILV (engineering) and IIM (design and digital).

This cross-disciplinary approach gives rise to joint projects, cross-disciplinary modules (AI, cybersecurity, VR), and a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Working at the intersection of management, technology, and society thus provides a structured learning environment for understanding economic and professional changes.

Skills adapted to changes in the workplace

Artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, ecological transition, organizational change: today’s transformations call for new skills. The programs, from post-baccalaureate to master’s level, support this dynamic.

EMLV structures a curriculum that combines technological analysis with an understanding of human, societal, and environmental impacts. This approach prepares future managers to combine analytical rigor, agility, responsibility, and an understanding of economic ecosystems.

Training leaders of change

The vision held by the Dean is based on a core belief: tomorrow’s managers will be informed agents of change.

The programmes are based on a teaching approach that emphasizes critical thinking, change management, and the ability to integrate technological challenges while keeping people at the forefront.

The Master in Management – Grande École Programme combines hybridization, international exposure in the third year—100% abroad—and personal development based on soft skills, mandatory sports, and civic engagement.

A structured international outlook

With more than 150 academic partners and systematic mobility programs, EMLV makes international exposure a central focus of learning.

Long internships abroad, multicultural exposure, and specializations taught in English enable students to develop a keen understanding of global environments and enhance their employability.

A school focused on society and transitions

The solidarity mission in the second year, interdisciplinary projects, Green Week, and themed hackathons structure a curriculum in which social and environmental impact becomes a common thread.

The school thus reinforces an educational model based on commitment, responsibility, and understanding of contemporary issues.

Through the words of its director, EMLV affirms a clear ambition: to train managers capable of articulating management, technology, and an understanding of societal issues. This positioning responds to the expectations of a rapidly changing market, where adaptability, openness, and responsibility are becoming essential criteria.
