This engineer-manager dual degree draws on the complementary strengths of the two institutions:
- the entrepreneurial and strategic culture of emlyon business school.
- the scientific and technological expertise of Mines Saint-Étienne,
Objectives of the programme
- To train hybrid profiles, who are scientific, innovative, and strategic.
- To develop key skills in innovation management, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation.
- To integrate social, environmental, and economic challenges into engineering and management projects.
- To open doors to high-potential careers, at the interface of technology, industry, business, and entrepreneurship.
A programme at the crossroads of two worlds
The FUSION programme combines the best of both Academics:
| Mines Saint-Étienne | emlyon business school |
|---|---|
| Scientific and technological excellence. | International managerial and strategic approach. |
| Project-based learning, innovation, sustainability. | Experiential learning “learning by doing” and entrepreneurship. |
| Human-sized engineering campus. | Global ecosystem focused on business and creativity. |
This unique alliance combines scientific rigor and entrepreneurial agility, to train dual-competency profiles, highly sought after in the market.
An integrated four-year programme
The FUSION curriculum spans four years, organized into two main phases between the two partner schools:
- The first two years primarily at Mines Saint-Étienne, within the framework of the ICM programme, dedicated to acquiring scientific, technical, and methodological fundamentals.
Students also develop their initial skills in management, communication, and project management. - The last two years at emlyon business school, focused on innovation management, corporate strategy, finance, and entrepreneurship.
This phase consolidates the engineer-manager’s global vision and promotes international openness.
Throughout the program, students participate in joint projects, innovation seminars, and complete several internships in France or abroad, within companies, laboratories, or startups.
This progressive pathway allows for a natural transition between engineering and management, while ensuring the coherence and complementarity of the teachings.
An international and interdisciplinary openness
The FUSION programme promotes international mobility and diversity of pathways:
- Courses in French and English;
- Academic exchanges or internships abroad;
- Collaborative projects with students from other programmes;
- Awareness of environmental, ethical, and societal issues.
A recognized dual degree
Upon completion of the pathway, students obtain:
- The Ingénieur Civil des Mines degree (Mines Saint-Étienne) – Master’s degree level;
- The Master in Management (PGE) from emlyon business school – Master’s degree level.
This dual degree is based on the accreditations of the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI) for the engineering degree and the Commission d’évaluation des formations et diplômes de gestion (CEFDG) for the PGE.

Testimonials
I chose FUSION for the complementarity between scientific rigor and managerial creativity.
Team projects with emlyon students are stimulating: we learn to speak the same language between engineers and managers.Chloé
2nd year FUSION
After two years at Mines Saint-Étienne, joining emlyon allowed me to explore another facet of the engineering profession: that of strategist and decision-maker.
The courses in strategy, finance, and innovation perfectly align with the scientific culture acquired at the beginning of the programme.Yanis
