The Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB), represented in Malta by the eFoundation for Business Education, conferred 17 new graduates with an MBA with distinction.

The ceremony was attended by many distinguished guests, including the First Secretary at the French Embassy, Claire Bodonyi; Judith Bouvard, the school’s Dean and Director; Godwin C. Micallef, the foundation’s chairman and Damian Xuereb, the graduates’ representative. Julie Martin, GGSB’s International Programme Manager also attended the event.

Ms Bouvard congratulated graduates on their achievement stating that these new alumni can now look forward to a brighter future. Maltese students are highly competitive and the unparalleled results achieved by the entire intake this year corroborates this statement, she said.

Grenoble Graduate School of Business is the international business school within Grenoble Ecole de Management. Founded in 1984, Grenoble Ecole de Management is one of the few business schools (one per cent of schools worldwide) to possess the three accreditations that distinguish the leading international business schools, namely the EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), the AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and the AMBA (The Association of MBAs).

Godwin Micallef said that this intake’s MBA graduates had every reason to celebrate as they had just received confirmation that, according to the school’s MBA Programme Director, the overall results attained by this particular group were the best to date claiming that he was “not aware of any other group which has done so consistently well”.

The 13 students who graduated MBA in Management Consulting were Daniel Bonello, Cedric Camilleri, Daniel Cilia, David Darmanin, Nadine Darmanin, Victor Denaro, Albert Frendo, Michael Micallef, Loranne Pace, Karen Scerri, Tyron Spiteri, Alfred Triganza and Damian Xuereb.

Four other students graduated MBA in Technology Management, namely David Bonnici, Saviour Busuttil, Alexiei Dingli and Tony Grixti.
