Live Business Case

Based on a real company in the gastronomy, hospitality, and luxury industry, the Live Business Case will give students the opportunity to reflect on and integrate all aspects of the program. Students will analyze a specific business problem and use their skills and knowledge to contextualize the issues and propose recommendations. This work is done in small groups and spans five months. The case study assessment will be based on group work with a group presentation to the company and moderated according to individual oral performance.

Teaching Methods

Interactive and experiential learning inside and outside the classroom.

• Languages

Learning a foreign language is an integral part of the degree program. Non-French speakers can choose from a number of other languages at the beginner level.

• Final thesis

The specialized final thesis is one of the key components of the second year of the program. Students begin in September and complete it at the end of the academic year.

All GEM MSc programs are internationally recognized by the prestigious higher education accreditation bodies, AACSB and EQUIS, and are equivalent to a level 7 degree on the European Qualifications Framework, in compliance with the Bologna Agreement for a master’s degree, comprised of 120 ECTS credits.

Graduates of the Master of Science program may continue their studies with an Advanced Master.

To help you access the careers that inspire you, you can count on:

• support from the Career Center: training workshops, individual interviews, events where you can meet experts and recruiters, and more.
• the JobTeaser platform, accessible as soon as you are admitted, where you will find more than 220,000 internship, work-study, and job offers per year.
• professional experiences that you can enjoy each year (internships starting in the third year of undergraduate studies, work-study programs starting in the first year of graduate studies).
• a network of 50,000 graduates worldwide, with services for graduates that continue long after they leave school.

Applicants should demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills, strong interpersonal abilities, and a clear motivation to pursue an international career. No prior professional experience in fashion, design, or luxury management is required, but a solid understanding of the industry and a clear vision of how the program will help achieve career goals are essential.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is not required for this program.

You may submit your application before receiving your final test results or transcripts/diploma certificates. If the rest of your application meets our criteria, we can issue a conditional offer, which will become final once the required documents have been provided.

Financial Aid/Scholarships

GEM provides a dedicated online platform—the GEM Financial Advisor—to help you find financing solutions, simulate student loans, and understand the various financing options available.

We recommend that students begin their search for financial aid as early as possible.
Please note that you must apply and be accepted into a program before you can apply for a scholarship or visa.

Internships are an integral part of all GEM programs, from the Bachelor to the Master level, with placements lasting 2 to 6 months each year, either in France or abroad. These hands-on experiences serve as a bridge between academic learning and the professional world, allowing students to explore different roles, industries, and career paths while developing valuable skills and professional networks.

Internships are a key asset for employability, helping students refine their career goals and often leading to full-time job offers even before graduation.

At any point during your studies, the Talent Office will review your project and, after examination by a committee, may propose a curriculum adjustment that allows you to pursue your studies and start a business at the same time. In this case, your work-study program can be tailored to your business project.
