Grenoble Ecole de Management

Grenoble Ecole de Management has developed its role in France and abroad as a leader among French business schools. The school has continually sought to have an impact on shaping the future of business around the world through its expertise in management, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. Now, well into its fourth decade, GEM is focusing on an additional ambition – a positive and visible impact on society. It has set its sights on becoming an inspirational and influential "School for Business for Society".

The school has been a société à mission* since 2021 and thus its purpose is to provide solutions, through teaching and research, to the major challenges of environmental, societal, and economic change and to contribute to a more resilient, ethical, peaceful, and responsible world. Its core values are responsibility, tenacity, and courtesy. As an institution, GEM is committed to five main causes: ethics and integrity, universal equality, education for all, economic peace, and environmental change.

GEM proposes a complete range of programs from the Bachelor’s to Doctorate level as well as a complete Executive Education portfolio. Programs are offered in either English or French and additional language study is available for certain programs.

Internationalization is an important part of the GEM culture and is diffused throughout the programs and experiences offered to students and faculty. It is present through the nearly 135 nationalities that interact across the programs and sites. While the school has active partners worldwide, its location and integration in Grenoble, a highly dynamic and innovative hub for education, research and industry (“World’s fifth most inventive city” according to Forbes magazine) also provides for a unique experience.

GEM’s strategic objective to be a leader in pedagogical innovation has resulted in a strong focus on new methods for teaching and learning such as gamification and different forms of on-line learning and we are certain of the importance of developing skills and knowledge through hand’s-on experience and a problem and project-based approach.
