Frequently asked questions
What are the application deadlines for the emlyon MiM?
emlyon does not publish dated rounds. Its own MiM page says only that the school "may close applications earlier, if all the seats in the class are filled, as it happens every year for many of our Master's programs", and advises applying as early as possible (re-checked 1 September 2026); the 2025/26 window it carried closed on 26 August 2026. The four dates we show — 15 October 2026, 15 January 2027, 15 March 2027 and 1 June 2027 — are our indication of emlyon's usual staged pattern, not emlyon's calendar, and are marked indicative on our deadline tracker. Decisions follow roughly four to six weeks after each session, and applying early matters more here than at a school with fixed rounds. Confirm the live session dates with emlyon's Recruitment & Admissions team.
What career outcomes does the emlyon MiM produce?
emlyon reports a 93% three-month employment rate. Consulting and audit account for 40% of placements, finance and banking 15%, industry 13%, and technology 11%. Top recruiters include EY, Wavestone, Deloitte, KPMG, McKinsey, BCG, PwC, Capgemini, BNP Paribas, L'Oréal, and LVMH. The FT 2025 weighted three-year salary is US $108,000, with the typical first-job French salary around €59,000.
How international is the emlyon MiM cohort?
The international share of the emlyon MiM cohort is approximately 28% — meaningfully lower than HEC, LBS, or ESCP. The programme is more domestically anchored than its top-tier peers, reflecting its origins as a regional grande école and its strong recruiting pipeline into French firms. Roughly 72% of graduates begin their careers in France. Candidates seeking a more globally distributed cohort or placement profile should weigh this carefully.
What does the lowercase emlyon branding mean?
The school formally restyled itself as lowercase emlyon business school in its 2023 rebrand. The styling is intentional and is now consistent across the school's official materials, website, diploma, and recruiter communications. Older sources still write EMLYON or EM Lyon — these refer to the same institution.
