Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM) has climbed six places to reach 20th position worldwide in the Financial Times' 2025 ranking for its Master in Management program. The school also ranks 17th in Europe (+7 places) and 8th in France. This result reflects GEM's academic excellence and international outlook, preparing its graduates for strategic careers around the world.
A remarkable grimp in the rankings
GEM continues to stand out globally, as the 2025 Financial Times ranking recognizes the Master in Management program for its excellence across multiple dimensions:
- Top career progression: GEM ranks 1st in France and in the global top 5 for career advancement, marking the second consecutive year at the top.
- Strong international mobility: with its highly global profile, GEM is 2nd in France and 5th worldwide for graduate mobility early in their careers.
- Outstanding salary growth: graduates see strong salary progression, placing the program 2nd in France and in the national top 10.
- Student diversity: nearly 40% of students come from abroad, placing GEM among the top 5 French programs for international diversity.
Academic and international recognition strenghtened
These results reflect the global professional recognition enjoyed by GEM graduates, who are poised to become leaders capable of steering organizations in multicultural and international environments.
The arrival of Dana Brown in January 2025 as Director for Global and Corporate Engagement, tasked with developing new global academic partnerships and collaborations within the framework of Executive Education, is fully in line with this momentum toward international growth.
The opening of new international hubs and campuses (Dubai, China, Canada), announced last May as part of the EAGLE 2030 strategic plan, will allow GEM to strengthen its global influence, expand its worldwide network, and offer students ever-greater opportunities for learning and professional experience abroad.

This continued rise in the Financial Times ranking reflects
GEM’s academic excellence and confirms our standing among the world’s leading business schools. It demonstrates our ability to train students who can advance rapidly in global careers while embodying our values of innovation and sustainability.“
