Grenoble Ecole de Management

Grenoble School of Management, also known as GEM, is a leading business school in France that offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs. The school is accredited by AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA, which are the top international accreditation bodies for business schools.

One of the strengths of GEM is its diverse and international student body, with students from over 60 countries. This creates a vibrant and multicultural environment that fosters global perspectives and cross-cultural understanding.The quality of the teaching and faculty at GEM is also highly regarded. The school has a team of experienced professors and practitioners who are experts in their respective fields. They bring a wealth of real-world knowledge and industry insights to the classroom, making the learning experience more practical and relevant.

In terms of student life and campus facilities, GEM has a modern and well-equipped campus that offers a range of resources and services to support students' academic and personal development. The school also has an active student association that organizes various extracurricular activities and events throughout the year.

This double curriculum is very interesting because it takes place throughout the entire schooling and appeals to the constant solicitation of students, who from the very first days in school see 2 different methods and 2 different work systems (telecommuting and face-to-face). We can thus observe the best on each side and retain good practices. There is also the fact that the skills developed in engineering school are more in line with the very theoretical training of the preparatory class (mathematics and computer science) while exploring new, more specialized fields (object-oriented programming, database management, advanced algorithmics, etc.). Where business school training is more open and comprehensive, there is something for everyone.

N'attendez pas d'une école des connaissances purement théoriques. L'école a compris et pris le parti de vous amener à l'essentiel: les bases des principales fonctions en entreprise. Elle mise surtout sur un élément déterminant: le comportemental, comment travailler en groupe, évoluer dans un environnement international. C'est là l'intérêt de venir à l'école, expérimenter ce qu'un cours sur papier ou dans une vidéo ne pourra transmettre. La vie associative permet également de mettre en application ce concept comportemental et d'accroître la bonne adaptation dans le monde de l'entreprise.

When I started in GEM I knew I was in for a treat. Schools sometimes happen to teach you the theory but do not provide a practical grasp of the subjects that are being studied. However, in GEM every course had at least a  practical activity to really understand what we were studying in a real life context. Activities such as " Serious Game" provide a simulation of a market affected by environmental changes hence asking the players to adapt their strategy for their products and compete with each other. GEM really taught me about what i should expect in the corporate world.

Studying at GEM helps me become closer to my dream and career goals. The school provides great and practical, hands-on pedagogy delivered my teachers with academic or professional experiences. Especially, you can have a chance to join Live Business Case, in which you work on solving a company real issues. Also, there are many kinds of support outside classes to help students with their employability (career center, job fairs, etc) and personal development. The students and teachers are highly international, so that you don't feel lost in a foreign country.
