GEM publishes no dated rounds for the Master in Management. Its programme page states only that international admission is "open to holders of a 3-year or 4-year degree from an international university" and that "applications will reopen at the start of the next academic year" — read at source on 2 September 2026. One correction worth knowing before you plan: GEM's site-wide "Online Application Deadlines" ladder, which this profile used to point readers at, is headed "BBA, MBA, MSc" and does not cover the Grande École Master in Management.
Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions page as they are published.
Frequently asked questions
When are the Grenoble École de Management application deadlines?
GEM publishes no dated deadlines for the Master in Management. Its programme page said on 2 September 2026 only that international applications "will reopen at the start of the next academic year". Do not plan against GEM's site-wide "Online Application Deadlines" page: that fortnightly ladder is explicitly headed "BBA, MBA, MSc" and does not cover the Grande École Master in Management, so its dates are the wrong ones for this programme. English proficiency (such as a TOEIC score) is required, and the TAGE-MAGE test is recommended but not mandatory.
Do you need a GMAT for the Grenoble École de Management Master in Management?
No — the GMAT is not mandatory. For international direct-entry applicants the GMAT, GRE, CAT and TAGE-MAGE are recommended but not required, and GEM accepts applications without a test score; applicants entering via the French AST concours take the TAGE-MAGE or GMAT as a scored component. English proficiency (such as a TOEIC) is required.

- Grenoble École de Management — Master in Management (Grande École Program) (PGE tuition from €17,000/yr, ≈€34,000 over 2 yrs; re-verified unchanged). FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36), and it reproduces with the cycle label this profile lacked: the page now heads its 'Full tuition fees' as 2026-2028 and prices the two years separately — Year 1 €17,000 starting September 2026, Year 2 €17,000 starting September 2027 — so €34,000 is the degree, not a year, and it is priced for the intake a 2027 applicant is applying to. The optional gap year is €1,000. The page states fees cover tuition, project supervision and access to GEM facilities but not accommodation, meals, insurance, visa or personal expenses, and warns that fees are subject to change ↗ — Grenoble École de Management

- Grenoble École de Management — Master in Management (Grande École Program), re-read 2026-09-02 with a browser user agent: the only dated-admissions statement on the page is "International Admission — Open to holders of a 3-year or 4-year degree from an international university. Applications will reopen at the start of the next academic year." No dated round is published. The site-wide deadlines ladder cited above is headed "Online Application Deadlines: BBA, MBA, MSc" and does not cover this programme; its dates run 18 Sep 2025 – 9 Jul 2026 plus three offsite-campus dates in Jul–Aug 2026. INTERVIEW CHECKED 2026-09-03, and the 09-02 read above was incomplete: the same page also states, under the programme's recruitment section, "Students who have graduated from a foreign university, regardless of their nationality, can join us via the international admission route, based on their application (and interview if necessary)" — so an interview is expressly reserved rather than excluded. Read from the raw HTML with a browser user agent after two WebFetch reads of this URL returned contradictory answers about the word "interview". The site navigation also carries a standing recruitment call, "Want to Become a Jury Member for GEM's Admission Interviews?", with an Admissions Jury calendar ↗ — Grenoble École de Management
- Grenoble École de Management — Programme Grande École (French page) and Découvrir l'apprentissage (page updated 07/04/2026), both read with a browser user agent. ALTERNANCE CHECKED 2026-09-07 (P44): 'À GEM, l'alternance est possible : en M1+M2 (pour un contrat de 24 mois), en M2 (contrat de 12 mois)'; 'Elle est accessible à toutes et tous, sans limite de place (sous réserve de réussir le concours et d'avoir un contrat signé)'; the Grenoble-or-Paris choice; 'vos frais de scolarité sont pris en charge'; the published track statistics (100% pass, 75% employment, 2.25% contract breakage, 2024 data); and the national rule restated by the school — 'le futur apprenti doit avoir moins de 30 ans à la signature du contrat', with the higher-qualification, disability, business-creation and high-level-athlete exceptions. NEGATIVE RECORDED: no French-language level and no nationality condition is published on either page ↗ — Grenoble École de Management
