Grenoble Graduate School of Business to Deliver Programs in Saudi Arabia

Grenoble, France, April 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Further to a new collaboration between Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB) and the College of Business Administration (CBA) in Jeddah, those who wish to can follow the French Business School’s programs in Saudi Arabia.

From September 2009, GGSB’s Master in International Business and Doctorate in Business Administration will be offered on the CBA campus.

Conducted entirely in English, the programs will be taught by GGSB faculty who will fly in to Jeddah. CBA will provide campus facilities and administrative support to faculty and students.

This is the first agreement to be signed between a French Business School and a Saudi Business School.

Judith Bouvard, Dean of GGSB said: “The CBA is similar to GGSB in its vision and mission by aiming to meet the needs of corporate recruiters as closely as possible. All current programs (Undergraduate and MBA) at CBA are done in English. At the present time teaching is not done in mixed groups of male and female in Saudi Arabia but the objective is to have mixed classes for GGSB programs. This will be possible due to the initiatives of King Abdallah to introduce this for Postgraduate students as from September 2009”.

Plans to expand the collaboration to also offer GGSB’s MSc in Innovation and Technology Management, MSc in Construction Management and executive education training on the CBA campus are in the works.

Jeddah, a major commercial centre, is located on the coast of the Red Sea and is the second largest city of Saudi Arabia.

GGSB delivers programs on several other off-site campuses including London, Singapore and Moscow.
