We are excited to welcome our students in an environment that has been designed to maximise their learning experience.”

These include GISMA’s core portfolio, and the internationally accredited programmes in collaboration with Grenoble Ecole de Management and The University of Law.

 

The new campus is located at the heart of the capital, close to some of the key players in the corporate world and the main government and public institutions. Studying in the immediate proximity of the city’s international business landscape and local cultural heritage will create plenty of networking opportunities for GISMA’s students, faculty and partners.
