Recently, ZHUOER Education and Grenoble École de Management (referred to as GEM), one of the top business schools in Europe, officially signed a cooperation agreement on the Master’s Study Abroad Direct Entry Program. This marks the formal launch of the ‘Grenoble École de Management Master Pathway Program’ in China.
With the continuous progress of globalization, international education has attracted increasing attention and favor. Studying abroad has become an important option for many Chinese students. However, factors such as uneven quality among overseas institutions, fierce competition among renowned schools, complex application procedures for studying abroad, preparation requirements for language proficiency, significant differences in cross-cultural communication, and asymmetric international information, contribute to high uncertainty in studying abroad. This also brings about considerable time and financial costs.
To help students secure more certain and expedited opportunities to study at world-renowned universities, ZHUOER Education has partnered with leading global institutions to launch the Master Pathway (MP) program. This initiative is designed for outstanding young Chinese scholars planning to study abroad, offering them an ‘online and offline’ learning format that fits into their fragmented schedules. Participants will undertake master’s preparatory courses authorized and recognized by prestigious global universities. This approach aims to reduce time and financial costs, establish a solid foundation for overseas study and life, and facilitate successful academic pursuits abroad. The program ultimately aims to achieve ‘Successful Study Abroad, and Successful Outcomes in Studying Abroad.’
As a major power in higher education, France offers a rich variety of specialized courses, with nearly 1,700 courses available in English. Additionally, French diplomas are widely recognized for their value, and French business schools consistently rank at the top of the Financial Times global rankings. The cost of studying in France is comparatively low, with the French government covering a substantial portion of actual tuition fees for each student, and international students receive the same generous housing subsidies as French students.
In recent years, France has increasingly attracted students from around the world. Zhuoer Education, in collaboration with Grenoble Ecole de Management, is launching the MP program for Chinese students in 2024. Participants will undertake prerequisite courses to earn a bachelor’s degree, and upon achieving a specified GPA, they will be formally admitted to GEM. This Pathway Program provides direct access to 17 Master of Science (MSc) programs at GEM. Successful applicants will commence their studies in September 2024 at either the Paris or Grenoble campuses of GEM.
Advantages of GEM Master Pathway Program (MP Program)
– Fast Track to Top Universities
Upon admission to the MP program, students will receive a conditional offer from Grenoble Ecole de Management. After completing the preparatory courses, obtaining a bachelor’s degree, and meeting the GPA requirements, students will be officially admitted to GEM, gaining direct access to 16 MSc programs.
– Save Time and Plan Your Studies Efficiently
Recognizing Chinese CET-4 and CET-6, IELTS, TOEFL, and Duolingo English test scores, students who have completed their undergraduate studies in English are exempt from providing additional language proficiency proof. This allows students to effectively utilize their remaining undergraduate time to focus on preparing for their master’s studies, without the need to spend significant time preparing for language exams.
– Reduce Costs and Receive Exclusive Scholarships
Students do not need to spend substantial money preparing for language exams or attending offline preparatory courses. Additionally, GEM will offer exclusive scholarships for MP Program students, covering 10% to 20% of MSc program tuition fees. Moreover, compared to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the tuition and living costs in France are relatively lower.
– Excellent Courses, Broaden Career Paths
The MP Program courses help students build and solidify their professional foundations, improve academic English skills, and enhance their adaptability to cross-cultural learning and living. The program connects to 17 MSc programs at GEM, covering a wide range of in-demand disciplines essential for the digital economy era.
