The FUSION programme is an excellent dual degree between Mines Saint-Étienne and emlyon business school, designed to train engineer-managers at the crossroads of technology, management, and innovation.
Two Schools, Two Admission Paths
Each partner school manages its own recruitment procedure.
- Mines Saint-Étienne recruits students primarily from science preparatory classes and GEI-UNIV university pathways,
- emlyon business school recruits candidates from economic and commercial preparatory classes (BCE) or its own parallel admissions.
Both schools each select 25 students, who together form a single inter-school cohort of 50 FUSION students.
The programme’s coordination is jointly managed by both institutions.
