Audencia Business School

COVID-19 Information: Please check the Admissions tab

Established in 1900, Audencia Business School is located in Nantes, France. 

The business school boasts a stellar career services department, partnerships that provide financial aid, and its focus on diversity in the classroom. 

Student life at Audencia is vibrant. There are around 30 student clubs, sports and frequent organized activities and cultural events. 

Take a look at:

•Audencia Junior Conseil: Audencia’s student association providing consulting services to businesses, giving students a chance to contribute to their community and connect with the business world (visit their Facebook page)

•Audencia’s triathlon: For more than 25 years, Audencia has hosted the Triathlon Audencia during the last weekend in September. More than 10,000 people from all over the world participate – including many Audencia faculty members and students!

Audencia’s career services department support is incorporated in all classes. Career counselors (experienced in HR) help students identify their strengths and interests, and find businesses and industries looking for employees that match their profile. Counselors will then train them in the skills needed for their future career.

The MBA program is taught in English although the campus is bilingual.  

Working with the career services department is a program requirement. Audencia thinks the program serves as a vehicle allowing students to move from one point in their career to another – and the career services is a vital part of that. 

The Audencia Alumni group is there to support students after graduation, organizing “Audencia Embassies” in cities around the world, providing continuing training for graduates and helping alumni network. Similarly, there is the opportunity to utilize Audencia’s corporate partners.

There are no additional fees or requirements for students. Find out about the selection criteria through the basic selection criteria heading in admissions and finance.

COVID-19 Information: 

Firstly, all Audencia's programmes, including the Executive MBA, have not changed their content and continue to be taught as planned, even if the mode of teaching is no longer classroom-based. Application for all Audencia's programmes has been maintained, but now relies even more on digital communication. The integration of new intakes has been transformed to a digital format with team building and other activities conducted at distance.

For Audencia Executive MBA, from March 19th, all classes were transfered to distance learning. Participation in these classes has been very close to 100%. Exams have also been organised at distance. These measures, and others were implemented in consultation with the participants involved.
