Distance learning

Distance learning at the Grenoble Faculty of Economics

For 30 years, Grenoble's Faculty of Economics has been a pioneer in the introduction of distance learning (DE) in economics in France. It has thus acquired a wealth of pedagogical and logistical experience. EAD courses range from the first year of a Bachelor's degree to Master 2. Diplomas awarded through distance learning are identical to those awarded in the classroom. The Master's degree is prepared over 2 years (M1 and M2). In the first year of the Master's program (M1), you must choose a thematic orientation or the M2 you wish to study. This first year of the Master's program covers the fundamentals of economics and includes preparatory courses for M2.
The bachelor's degree is offered in two languages, French and English, the English version being deployed within the framework of international agreements between the UGA and the Grenoble Faculty of Economics for double diplomas with partner universities abroad.

Distance learning courses are designed for students in one of the following situations:
