Undergraduate Programs - Your future starts here, with GEM

What is a Bachelor’s degree?

A Bachelor’s degree is a professional program offered by business schools, accessible after high school (or after one or two years of higher education). It allows you to develop essential management skills, think like an entrepreneur, and explore every dimension of business, from marketing and finance to communication, commerce, and innovation.

At GEM, two formats are available:

• 3-year Bachelors, awarding 180 ECTS credits (equivalent to a Bachelor’s level degree).
• 4-year Bachelors, following the international model, such as our International BBA and Bachelor in Sustainable Management, Data & AI, awarding 240 ECTS credits (equivalent to a Master 1 level).

These programs combine courses, real-world projects and professional experience through internships or work-study opportunities, with a strong international focus, English-taught courses, academic exchanges, and internships abroad.
After graduation, you can start your career or continue your studies in a Master’s or MSc program, in France or abroad.

Post-Bac Diversity Admissions Track: an inclusive pathway to the Grande École Program

At GEM, diversity is a strength. The Post-Bac Diversity Admissions Track offers selected high school students an equal opportunity route to excellence, leading ultimately to our Grande École Program (PGE).

This pathway is open to students in their final year of high school who are:

• from modest socio-economic backgrounds, as assessed by the non-profit organization Article 1; 
• or living with a visible or invisible disability.

By succeeding in this admissions process, students secure their future place in the Grande École Program right after high school, while completing two to three years of post-secondary studies (BTS, BUT, Licence, or Bachelor).
It’s a unique opportunity to prepare your academic journey with confidence and join a committed and inclusive Business School.
