About Audencia Business School

Our courses are specifically designed around our core value: corporate & social responsibility. Our aim is to train managers of tomorrow and put a strong focus on sustainability. How can we improve tomorrow’s business & management and make it more responsible both for the planet and the people. This topic is crucial for Audencia which actually created "Gaïa" school dedicated to sustainability management.

In addition to placing the challenges of ecological and social transition at the heart of its research and teaching, Audencia is implementing an ambitious CSR approach that involves all of the school's departments and numerous partners. This approach has been designed with our stakeholders and is structured around 5 priorities, broken down into quantified objectives and action plans, which are monitored by the CSR General Delegation.



The school brings together 33 student associations spread across all campuses.All the themes of the student associations (business, sport, culture, humanitarian, CSR...) enable students to get involved in professionalizing projects that develop new skills: ethics & CSR, project development, budgeting, team management and leadership, events, prevention, health and more.

In order to best support our students throughout their education, Audencia has developed a "Wellbeing department" to provide students with a service that allows them to meet their health and wellness needs on a daily basis.

For many years, Nantes has been one of the top French cities for quality of life. It has many parks and gardens (including the amazing Jardin des Plantes in the heart of the city or the relaxing Japanese Garden on the Île de Versailles), waterways, historic buildings, bicycle paths...
