Lyon, an exceptional student city
with European influence
As the capital of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Lyon is a major student city and one of the best places to study in France. A true European crossroads, it combines academic excellence, a dynamic job pool and an enviable living environment.
Between the banks of the Rhône and Saône rivers, the mysterious traboules of Old Lyon, the hills of Fourvière and Croix-Rousse, and the Paul Bocuse halls, Lyon is a city of elegance, UNESCO heritage and easy living.
From the campus of our aeronautics and space school, you’ll be just a few metro stations away from the city’s most emblematic landmarks: Place Bellecour, the Opera, the universities, the boutiques of the Presqu’île and the festive entertainment of the quayside. Studying at IPSA Lyon means living a rich student experience, in a city that inspires as much as it innovates.
