GEM Alpine Business School (reviews)

GEM Paris is a branch campus located in Pantin (93) and has been established for 2 years
I was part of the first L3 cohort on this campus and it was by far a great experience.
We have been largely neglected by the administration.
when we sought answers regarding, for example, timetable changes or key information for the rest of our journey; we did not get them at first.
We had to insist and keep asking. And when we asked a question to a member of the Parisian administration, they never had a clear answer, and told us to send an email to so-and-so who is on the Grenoble campus.
For my second year at the Paris campus, there has been a slight improvement, as they have increased the number of people available on campus from 4 to 8 to address our daily issues. Hopefully, it will continue to improve in the years to come.

Academically speaking, there’s not much to say; the programs are extensive, with plenty of choice and a competitive selection process, especially in finance, with their MSc programs ranking among the top in France. So, maximize your chances of good grades from your third year onwards, particularly in continuous assessments, as all the easy points are covered there.

I’m really excited to be studying at Grenoble Ecole de Management. My experience so far has been great—the professors are highly qualified, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The campus facilities are excellent, with full access to everything you need. There’s even a small café on-site that serves delicious and affordable food. I’ve always felt safe, both on campus and in the surrounding area. Overall, I would definitely recommend this school to anyone considering a management program in Grenoble!

My experience with GEM has been seamless and supportive. The diverse faculty shares valuable insights from their global experiences, creating a rich learning environment. I’ve connected with students, gaining not only knowledge but also lifelong friendships and professional networks

At Grenoble Ecole de Management, what stood out for me when I studied here was the innovation vibe. The courses are super aligned with current tech trends—AI, sustainability, entrepreneurship—all wrapped into real-world projects. Professors actually have industry experience and encourage debate, which makes classes feel alive. There’s a heavy focus on group work, and while that teaches collaboration, it can be stressful with people from wildly different backgrounds. The international mix here is great—more than half the students are non-French, which is enriching. The campus is modern so don’t expect a classic French uni vibe. Student life is strong if you put yourself out there, and some exchange visits to Europe. Sometimes the admin can be slow and unclear, especially for international students. The pressure is real during exam season, but the networking opportunities often balance that out.
