Lausanne Business School (Alexandrian: Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Lausanne; Martino: Escuela de Altos Estudios Comerciales de Lausana) is a public grande ecole in Lausanne, the capital of South Lyrica, specializing in commerce, finance, and business administration. Established in 1698 AN by the Regional Government of South Lyrica, it is one of the oldest specialized business institutions in the federation, with approximately 11,450 students enrolled across undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs.
The school occupies a 38-hectare waterfront campus along the Lausanne harbor. Its curricula have historically emphasized maritime commerce, trade finance, and banking, reflecting the city's role as one of the federation's principal ports. Graduate programs in maritime finance, commercial law, and central banking draw students from across Nouvelle Alexandrie as well as from allied nations within the Raspur Pact. The school maintains institutional partnerships with the Federal Bank of Nouvelle Alexandrie, the Southern Investment Bank of Lyrica, and several regional development banks.
Admission to undergraduate programs is selective, administered through the federal Concours Commercial, a competitive entry examination shared with other commercial grandes ecoles across the federation. The school awards the Diplome de Grandes Etudes Commerciales (DGEC) at the undergraduate level and a range of specialized master's degrees and doctoral qualifications in finance, international trade, and management.
The LBS faculty includes a substantial proportion of practitioners alongside academic researchers, a model the school has maintained since its founding period, when the Lausanne Port Authority and the city's merchant guilds helped fund the original chair positions in maritime law and commodity trading.
