Hi All,

I have been accepted to GGSB for sep 2013 intake. I have few queries that need clarifications and it would be great if you guys can answer it.
1. What could be the total cost of living for entire duration?
2. They say that program is 12 months, however the degree will be awarded only after 2nd year project phase it seems. Will the college provide an internship assistance to work and do the project or should we leave to home country for the project
3. What is the job market inside France, if I knew French will that be helpful. If I do not learn French can the same MBA be well recognized in UK, USA and Canada?
4. Is there any other cost apart from the total fees mentioned regarding the degree programs like Books and supplies etc

The second year of the program is a project phase, where you'll work with an organization in a hands-on capacity. You can do this anywhere in the world, but if you want to end up working in France I would stay in France.

Cost of living depends on many factors. Grenoble is less expensive than Paris, but more costly than living in other European cities like Berlin. Many students share apartments, which can bring down your rent costs.

Learning French should be a priority if you're planning on staying. As for the job market, it depends on your industry. Grenbole has burgeoning high-tech/biotech/nanotech sectors (locally, HP is a top recruiter from the school, for example.) Paris is the place to go for finance or manufacturing.

As far as its international brand value is concerned, it has a reasonable alumni base in North America - but honestly, for a job in the US or Canada, you'd be better served with a degree from one of those countries.

Dear Ezra,

Thanks for writing back. Could you also please suggest me whether GGSB will assure this project phase for a candidate in 2nd year and will that be a paid internship kind of thing?

You'll want to ask this directly to the school.
