The language tuition is supplemented by a program of language laboratory workshops.

The Faculty
Classes are taught by both Groupe ESC Grenoble faculty and business professionals who link theory and practice. They all contribute to the international dimension of the program through their diverse cultural and international backgrounds.

Note: Students should be sure to obtain approval from their academic advisors for the transfer of credit from Groupe ESC Grenoble prior to applying to the program. Have your advisor contact the program director for further details.
