Founded in 1900 as École Supérieure de Commerce, Audencia Nantes School of Management has grown since the late 1970s to become a well-ranked French management school. It holds triple accreditation by the Association of MBAs, AACSB and Equis.
The school's purpose-built campus alongside Nantes University is just 12 minutes tram ride from the city centre and next to the River Erdre. The city of Nantes itself is just two hours by regular high speed train from Paris and less than an hour from the sandy Atlantic coast.
Audencia Nantes' faculty is made up of top professors, over 70% of whom hold a PhD or 'doctorat'. More than a third of these experts are from outside France, a figure that increases every year.
