Law School Law at the Top

What program is available to law students as part of the partnership with GEM?
Law School students Law School the standard “Grande École Program” (PGE) in French, with the sole restriction being that they cannot participate in an exchange program at a foreign university.

Are the courses they take the same as those offered to GEM students?
Law students enter their second year at GEM, which is equivalent to the M1 level. They therefore complete the second and third years of the PGE to earn their degree.
During the first semester of the second year at GEM (Bac+4), law students take a preparatory program consisting of core courses from the first year (specifically designed for them) and the second year (common to all students entering the PGE directly in the second year). In the second semester of this second year, law students are then integrated with all GEM students and take elective specialization courses. They have access to all courses, except for law modules.
In the third year at GEM (Bac+5), law students take the first-semester core courses via distance learning, spread out over one year.

What are the selection criteria for law students?
The Law School an initial screening of applicants based on their application materials. Final selection is based on an oral interview conducted by GEM and the Law School select a maximum of 15 students. Students who completed their M1 elsewhere than in Grenoble may apply to this program, provided they are enrolled in the M2 at the Law School . All law specializations are accepted. The oral evaluation lasts 20 minutes and focuses on three areas: the alignment of the student’s chosen track with their career goals, their ability to handle a heavy workload (extracurricular commitments may demonstrate this ability), and their interest in economics (current events).

What level of foreign language proficiency is required to enroll in this program?
Language proficiency must be strong in both the first and second foreign languages (expected level: B1-B2). If a student’s proficiency in the second foreign language is average, this must be offset by strong motivation during the oral interview.

Is international experience essential to obtain the GEM degree?
Yes. This can take the form of an internship or starting a business. The business school supports students by providing internship opportunities and advising them on their career plans. All destinations are possible.

What is the success rate and what are the challenges of the “Law and Management” track?
The success rate for this track is 100%. It is often difficult for law students to identify which business administration courses best suit their career goals when choosing their specialization courses. In addition, the workload is very heavy in this program.

Are there tuition fees to pay at GEM to enroll in this program?
No, students do not pay tuition fees at GEM, which is a significant advantage for them.

In your opinion, what are the benefits of this dual degree?
The first benefit is employability. Upon graduating from GEM, students often already have a job or find one very quickly. Salaries are also higher for business school graduates. Finally, this dual skill set allows students to realize their ambitions as they become aware of their capabilities. The academic level of the students selected for this program is very high, as they take on a heavy course load.
