Seven new teachers, both professors and lecturers, have joined the iaelyon team for the new academic year in 2020. They bring with them new expertise and skills to add to our already renowned academic staff.

The teaching staff of iaelyon consists of 165 permanent, highly qualified professors, associate professors, and lecturers, as well as a variety of adjunct professors and adjunct associate professors. The teaching team covers a wide range of fields of expertise in order to fulfill needs in transmitting skills and lessons in the areas of study and research that iaelyon prides itself on.

More than 15% of our adjunct professors and adjunct associate professors come from the socio-economic world, being expert-practitioners in their field, with a direct link with the courses that they are teaching and the projects that they work on. Moreover, the multicultural skills of the teaching staff and their capacity to deliver courses in English at iaelyon are of the upmost importance to us, given our strong international partnerships and our courses that are held in English.

On top of the 165 permanent teaching staff, we have 95 international professors and 700 professionals joining us to contribute to the excellence that is iaelyon.
